Hearted Youtube comments on Professor Dave Explains (@ProfessorDaveExplains) channel.

  1. I am the second author of the paper you talked about at 7:10. When this was brought to my attention, I was shocked. We scientists tend to ignore all the pseudoscience stuff, but maybe we should pay more attention in the future. We work so hard to educate the public, but these conspiracy pseudoscientists are undoing our work. Thank you, Professor Dave, for taking your time to debunk the conspiracy theories. And just in case there is any confusion, our paper is about clouds in the interstellar medium, and has nothing to do with any of the doomsday BS.

  2. Dave: "I wish I had done better in this debate" Also Dave: explains half of science in his 8 minute opener at the speed of a Gilmore Girls episode

  3. I am glad for you dave. For the last few years of my life i was a flat earther. Then i saw your response to globe busters video. After i watched the entire thing i just realized how stupid and dumb a flat earth was. Now i am heavily interested in astronomy. I thank you very much

  4. I wish this man well being and happiness. Because that is what he has given me as a desperate chem student.

  5. No longer believe the Earth is flat because of this video. GOD! All that wasted time and energy! Sorry guys, I'm joining the Global Team.

  6. Now I realise who Eric is. He is like Steven Seagal of physics.

  7. Professor Dave, continuing to smack down pseudoscientific nonsense one charlatan at a time. Well done!
    4300
  8. Professor Dave, I know you probably won't see this but thank you. My father is a extremist flat earther who says things that some of the most crazy flat earthers think is crazy. And with your videos and points I finally have him questioning his ideas. He doesn't have any response because there is none. You are truly helping to clean up this disease that infects gullible people like my dad. The fight against radical conspiracy theorists isn't over but the one with flat earth may as well be.

  9. Our philosophy teacher in high school showed us "What the Bleep do we Know" and asked us to do a PowerPoint presentation on it. She didn't specify the length of the presentation, only the talking points: who were the people that worked on it, who were the people that talked on it and what can we learn. Thanks to a member of our team, we found out the people working on the "documentary" were linked to a cult and we prepared an hour long presentation on why everything was bollocks and why everyone said what they said and did what they did, including when was the cult formed, why it was a cult, why and how the documentary only showed what the cult wanted and how they used the common person's misunderstanding of science against them. To this day the best essay and presentation I've done.

  10. I fell for his schtick for 5 years... I turned my brain off for 5 years because his rhetoric sounded good. Thank you for this video, Dave. I dropped his channel immediately and started to get back into my love of weather and climate with legit sources.
    3700
  11. I tried crash course. I tried everything else. And you just answered it all in six minutes. You are amazing.
    3600
  12. I am a recovering evangelical christian. I believed them hook, line, and sinker. To escape, I actually had to get divorced. I am so appreciative of channels like this. Thanks for helping to keep me sane and educating me.
    3600
  13. I'm only halfway into this but dave, NEVER CHANGE your demeanor of condescension. Anti-intellectualism is going to be the end of our species - but mockery works. It's instantly disarming and people will jump to action to defend themselves (and the fence sitters may actually investigate pseudoscience claims). The world needs a hitchens 2.0
    3500
  14. I have no idea how you can sit through these dudes yapping. You got some serious resolve. Love your work keep fighting the good fight đŸ’Ș
    3300
  15. Thank you chemistry jesus ❀
    3100
  16. Yeah, well, that's just, like, your comprehensive model based on empirical evidence which has eliminated practically all other variables and is consistent beyond reasonable doubt, man.
    3100
  17. What concerns me the most is how independent ideas are "bundled" together. Very often when I have a conversation about climate change, people end up talking about big pharma, vaccines, GMO, transgenders, migrants, diversity... The arguments and the topic matter very little to most people. What matters is : what side you are on. We're less and less interested in debating ideas, and more about proving that we are on the right side of things. You're discussing climate and they're like "who cares about IPCC, scientists don't even know what a woman is anymore. And they feed us fake vaccines and pretend life was created by chance".
    2900
  18. I pay $1000/term for physics in collage for nothing and come here to learn everything for free. big respect for you sir.
    2700
  19. Cant believe I had to do this, but I gotta thank you. I have a friend who I always knew was on the dimmer side, but I didnt learn he believed in the flat earth until a few weeks ago. I found this video and showed it to him. He is actually pretty good at math and such, so he checked over the (very obvious) things that you stated in the video. He is no longer a flat earther, and frankly feels stupid for believing it for so long.. Now I just gotta convince him the moon landing was real imo. Thank you though, helped out a lot man.
    2200
  20. On a regular basis i search "Eric Weinstein is a fucking idiot" on youtube in the hopes that someone has produced new material shitting on the Weinstein bros. Today is one of those days
    2200
  21. This video will be totally not controversial.
    2200
  22. The perrance of Tarrents must be so proud
    2200
  23. Thank you, Dave. A friend of mine had become a full creationist again after finding Discovery Institute, and when I showed this video, he immediately apologized for falling for the lies and promised to check sources the next time. I just wanted to type this so you knew that your video does have an affect, even on people formerly part of their fanbase.
    2000
  24. Hey, Dave! Let me tell you briefly why videos such as this one matter. I'm a teacher in Poland. 3 months ago I wanted to find a book on evolution to add to our school library. The largest bookstore in town had only a few of these... and each and every one was junk 'science' straight from the DI playbook. I checked the publishing house, and... surprise surprise... it's a DI-affiliate. Their reach is really broad! Naturally, I devoted an entire lesson to explaining ID, creationism and 'Kitzmiller v Dover' to my students. Please, keep exposing those frauds!
    2000
  25. Calling science "Materialist Science" is like calling maths "Calculational Mathematics"
    1900
  26. I really enjoy listening to debunkers debunk... but something about the way YOU do it, Professor Dave, not sure if it's your eloquent snarkiness, pandering sarcasm, fluent vocabulary, or unapologetic glibness, that makes your eviscerations so satisfying, but I LOVE IT! LOL
    1900
  27. We're getting so much Professor Dave content lately, it's like we won the lottery during a time of extreme uncertainty in the world. I really, really wish this style of science-bullying against scammers and grifting becomes the next "big thing" and science becomes the cool, alpha, chad power trip of the future, pleaaase, we need this.

  30. There's a special place in heaven for people like you.
    1700
  31. Dave, the men in my family are young earth creationists. I studied basic Biology and Chemistry so I knew they were wrong, but I didn’t have a deep enough understanding to be able to debunk their BS talking points. I’ve been absorbing your videos and I can’t wait to unleash all of it on them over the holidays. 😘

  32. The weird kid finally gets invited to the cool party and he takes a dump in the pool.
    1600
  33. I ran a state certified analytical water testing laboratory for a few years and I was very often pained by misinformation coming through our door. We would run city water for people, although the data was already openly published because individuals thought the data was "fabricated". We had people bring in their own raw stream water and be very confused when we presented high bacterial concentrations along with high nitrates from farm runoff. We tried our best to speak to people and educate them, but it was often futile. It's good to hear your take on this, I really appreciate and share your videos.
    1500
  34. this video made my flat earther friend finally understand the world is round. Thank you
    1500
  35. I was staff at TESC at that time. Thank you for writing about the truth of the events at TESC. It was so frustrating to watch everything unfold and see Bret manipulate the media coverage. There were multiple staff conversations before, during and after DOA/DOP. Bret was aware that he did not have to leave campus. Bret wanted to participate in the DEI activity on his terms, and burned everything down when he did not get his way. Bret had multiple chances to deescalate the situation, but chose to deliberately escalate everything.

  36. This 14 minute video was more helpful in me learning about 1H NMR then 5 lectures taught by my prof at uni. bless up prof dave!!

  37. "I was gatekept out of getting a normal job. Also, high ranking CIA officials told me secrets."

  38. "We've gathered a Biologist, an Astrophysicist, and a Geologist to explain to you why Creationism is true. The Biologist is going to cover Astrophysics, the Geologist will handle your Biology questions, and naturally, the Astrophysicist is really a preacher who believes in the Firmament and thinks Biology is a Satanic plot to implement TeleTubbies in public Universities."

  39. I've worked at FEMA for 7 yrs. Never in my life have I had to combat this level of idiocy in real time. It's exhausting and unprecedented.
    1300
  40. Better than Crash Course, if I may. Less drama, more facts delivered in a calm and composed manner.
    1300
  41. Neil DeGrasse Tyson: None of this makes sense, but this is beautiful art. Eric Weinstein: Neil doesn't understand any of this. He just dismissed Terry and said "nice shapes." I won't do that, I'll give Terry the time of day. Also Eric Weinstein: So anyway, all of this is bullshit but they are pretty shapes.
    1300
  42. thank you physics jesus
    1300
  43. Chemistry teachers are generally horrible. They understand it well, but they are unable to teach it for the students who have difficulty in grasping this subject. The way you teach is extremely simplified, and efficient. I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR! You've helped me through all my Chemistry classes, and saved my butt countless times through your videos. You'll be the reason I get into Grad school!
    1200
  44. you helped me in math, then in chemistry, then Organic chemistry, and now in physics <3. Thank your professor dave
    1200
  45. I personally think Professor Dave videos are better than Crash Course. Crash Course is distracting and fast, while Professor Dave explains and reviews. Thanks Dave!
    1200
  46. I don't know if you realize how impactful content like this is, but my s/o had major vaccine hesitancy. I showed them this video and it definitely quelled a lot of those fears they had. So thank you for this.
    1200
  47. As a former creationist that watched through this series, thank you. I grew up creationist and only went to creationist schools my whole life, even in college. I've literally never been to a public school. And so when I finally left I realized just how much a gap I had in understanding about, well, any of this. And series like this are incredibly helpful in giving my a base of understanding that I was never given growing up
    1200
  48. My child, when you saw only one set of footprints, thats when Professor Dave carried you through first year chem.
    1200
  49. Thanks for being a warrior for science, Dave!
    1100
  50. “You just talk, talk, talk!” Yes, James. Here in the DEBATE Dave would like to TALK. It’s a calmer version of screaming; you may want to try it sometime
    1100
  51. James Tour debate tactics: (1) Draw some chemistry mechanism on the blackboard that nobody asked for and doesn't explain anything (2) Point the chalk at Dave and scream at him to do something with it, whatever that is (3) When Dave shows recent scientific literature disproving you, just scream that he didn't do something with your blackboard diagram (4) Write "clueless" beside each of your pre-written topics like you were going to do anyway, no matter what Dave said (5) Did I forget screaming? Make sure to tack on the screaming. You're welcome!
    1100
  52. Hello, Prof. Dave, I just wanted to say that your inorganic chem videos have greatly helped me prepare for my competitive exams. Much love from India ❀
    1000
  53. When this video came out, I left a comment as a Christian who was thankful for the debunk. Almost a year later, I'm an atheist. This video was one very important resource of many on that long and painful journey where everything in that system of beliefs collapsed. Thank you for all you do, Dave - exposing pseudoscience and misinformation on all fronts, combatting preachers who make money by deceiving the masses, and helping to make the world a better (and more educated) place.
    1000
  54. I just want to say thank you for resisting the temptation to exclusively make your channel focused around debunking hacks like this and continue to pump out well-researched and timely science education videos which get 50x fewer video views. Your educator's ethos shines through.
    1000
  55. Jesus dude. It takes a lot of scrot to endure this kinda torture for science communication and literacy. I can't even get through more than a couple minutes of the debate without feeling my blood boil I have no idea how you managed it. But I'd like to thank you for doing so because somebody needs to.
    975
  56. I was a flat earther before this video. No one ever broke it down like he did. Now even I can see the Earth is a globe
    971
  57. Thanks Dave, the work you do in challenging these theocratic Discovery Institute charlatans head on is much appreciated. It was especially ballsy to conduct this debate on Jame’s home turf to a room full of his faithful sycophants.
    924
  58. Thank you for you hard work shedding light on all these frauds. Just a small token of my appreciation.
    916
  59. Been waiting for this for years. Nobody called this guy out, as he is apparently litigous with any form of criticism Good on you Dave
    908
  60. All good points, Prof. Dave, but you failed to respond to "Dr." Tour's central claim from your debate, which was, and I quote: "AHHHHH! MR. FARINA!!! AHHHH!" Checkmate, Prof. Dave.
    905
  61. "hey im looking for a channel that can help me with linear algebra while also occasionally shitting on flat earthers" "i know just the guy"
    902
  62. I'm sitting at the University of Washington library and am watching Prof Dave. I look around and see three more computers doing the same. Thank you for saving our lives.
    901
  63. I commented on a post of yours and while ago and I was in a really bad place and you responded and at the time I was loosing my faith and I was looking for a fight. I just want to say i truly respect what you're doing and I want to thank you for putting all this scientific knowledge out in a easy to digest way to help everyone willing to listen
    897
  64. I tell everyone about this channel. I've gone through the basic chemistry and am going through the 165 math videos now. Its not for school.. I could never afford school. I'm 41 years old and you're giving me the ability to finally learn all the things I was denied by a pay wall. Thank you so much
    890
  65. this is 10 times better explained than in my math book
    858
  66. "So I was working at the bar, and came up with a fully functioning quantum superposition apparatus that would have solved all the world's energy needs... then this chick walks in. Knockers like the gargoyles on Notre Dame, if you know what I'm sayin'. Anyway, I popped a chub and POOF. The fully functioning, perfect blueprint in my head had vanished. Lost to the aether forever." -Chris Langan, probably.
    855
  67. Thanks Dave. I’m excited to demolish flat earth when I go to Antarctica in December.
    845
  68. Ah, young, innocent Dave. To think you once thought this was simply about the science. If only your younger self could see you now, wielding knowledge and logic like the sword of Damocles, protecting our little blue marble from the flat Earth menace.
    845
  69. Please god, do not stop making this content. So many people don't see the real damage of misinformation and science denial. It's society's greatest threat. I cannot express how much I appreciate you.
    837
  70. your titles make me giggle every time
    831
  71. Ive been following Ben and his videos for a few years now. Lately he's got me so spun up about the upcoming magnetic flip that i started to cruise amazon for things to prepare me for the "Big Event." After watching your video, i unsubscribed from his channel and subscribed to yours :). Thank you sir.
    825
  72. I know this video is pretty old and you'll probably never see this, but thank you! This helped me a lot you often can explain things better than my own professor. You're the best
    812
  73. Btw, @ProfessorDave, if you ever read this comment - just know that what you are doing with this debunking series is making a difference. I myself am quite the gullible individual and a thinker. Not a go-to research type of persons such as yourself. And you TAUGHT me to think and approach with some skepticism and I genuinely appreciate you for that. I only wish I stumbled upon your channel sooner. Thanks.
    807
  74. Thank you for helping me in high school, and now in Dental school.
    804
  75. I have my chemistry exam in 30 minutes and you just explained literally everything I need to know in ten minutes. Can you be my chem professor instead? đŸ˜­đŸ™đŸœ
    791
  76. It's obvious you put a lot of time and effort into this, Dave. I sincerely hope you never feel like any of this work you did was pointless or wasted. It most certainly was not. Just the fact that this work of yours will live on indefinitely on the internet is incredibly valuable to those of us who are susceptible to conmen, like James Tour. This type of content is the antidote to PT Barnum's "sucker born every minute".
    780
  77. Career academic neuroscientist here from a medical school. Thanks, Dave. As usual, you have accurately called out her irrational and illogical gross overgeneralizing and the straw men responses of her science denier supporters. Keep up the great work. đŸ§ â˜€ïž
    779
  78. Please don't send these nut jobs to Mcmurdo Station. We have real jobs and real science to do.
    765
  79. Question 3: Dave: "Define the word "kind" as you use it." Kent: "Define the word "define" for me first so I have some time to get you off-topic again and so I can then find a loophole and swerve around stating something so that you think I really am crazy which I#m not because I'm making money off gullible people here. Can you rephrase the question?"
    760
  80. Dave you helped me all throughout high school, and now here you are helping me the night before my linear algebra exam while I'm in college studying for an aerospace engineering degree. You are the best !! :)
    757
  81. When I started following her, I thought it was really worth it. I can't believe she made this U turn. Really disappointed. Please continue debunking these surreal delusions.
    733
  82. If you don't have time to watch the whole video, here's the debate in a nutshell. Dave: Evolution is consistent beyond reasonable doubt. Kent: but muh book Dave: Ok, since the bible is your only evidence for creationism, let's talk about the bible. Kent: but thats not the point of the debate Dave: Polyploidy is an example of instant speciation. Kent: but no new information Dave: Do you know how meiosis works? Kent: why rabbit no have wing Dave: Every mutation is new information. Kent: proceeds to use bad analogy Dave: Explain your analogy. Kent: proceeds to not explain analogy Kent: strawberry taste terrible Dave: All strawberries are octoploid. Kent: but still strawberry Dave: You are a con man who lies to simple minded people. Kent: dog dont produce non dog Kent: insert bad analogy about common design Dave: Cars are not biological organisms. Dave: Do you know what a paternity test is? Kent: how protist become human Dave: No one says that. Kent: but the chart Dave: We're not getting anywhere with this, so let's talk about paternity tests. Kent: but protist cant become human Dave: Let's talk about fossils. Kent: you cant prove fossil had children Dave: That fossilized organism doesn't have to have reproduced. Kent: sure but you cant prove fossil had children Dave: Are you deaf? Kent: protist cant become human Kent: im trying to help you understand Dave: No, you're lying to people to make money. Kent: ad hominem alert Kent: 2 + 2 = 4 therefore evolution is a religion Dave: What? Let's just talk about fossils. Kent: ok lets talk about how protist cant become human Dave: Let's talk about how you keep repeating the same talking points over and over. Kent: lets talk about your ad hominem attacks Kent: why bacteria no have wing Dave: Bacteria are not multicellular organisms. Kent: hits spongebob with hammer why are you so dumb Kent: i taught biology for 15 years Dave: No, you lied to children in a church. Kent: im not lying you are Dave: Fossils are organized in a pretty particular way. Kent: you have been brainwashed (even though clearly im the one whos lying to people to make money) Kent: this coffee cup is designed therefore everything is designed Dave: Can you stop saying that? Kent: con man does what con man must to survive Dave: The rocks got rained on which produced organic molecules which organize themselves into what we call life. Kent: so you come from rock Dave: Actually, you believe that you came from dust. Kent: you dare use my own spell against me Dave: Craig Venter made synthetic life. Kent: haha see intelligent designer Dave: Sorry, that doesn't disprove abiogenesis at all. Kent: so youre saying craig is dumb Kent: wait he copied it into another cell Dave: Well, he made a new organism. Kent: but he didnt create life Dave: That's what life is, dingus. Kent: you cant observe abiogenesis Dave: Can you see atoms? Kent: can you see gravity? get rekt Dave: You just proved my point. Thanks for playing. Kent: fuck Kent: you want me to pay to brainwash people (even though im clearly the one brainwashing people) Dave: You're gonna pay for that? Kent: yes i pay every tax i owe (even though im clearly a convicted felon) Kent: whales swim in water therefore fish Dave: I swim in the water too, therefore I am a fish. Kent: what James: You guys are very good debaters, even though Kent is clearly the one dodging direct questions, but I wasn't paying attention so yeah. Kent: here is the theory of evolution proceeds to explain the big bang, earth formation and abiogenesis Dave: You have no idea what you're talking about. Kent: but protist cant become human Kent: you admit that you come from rock Dave: No, you did. Kent: but it rained on the rock therefore you are rock Dave: Your mother ate pizza while she was pregnant, therefore you are a pizza. Kent: strawman alert Dave: Not a strawman, dingus. Kent: i have studied science my whole life (i mean if i actually studied science i would know that evolution is true but i have to pretend i love science so gullible people fall for con men like me) and i know that dog dont produce non dog Dave: Why do I care what you say? You're not a biologist. You haven't provided any evidence for a designer. Your only evidence is "some book says a thing", if by "some book" you mean a book that contains slavery, incest, and rape, then yes, the bible is evidence of immorality. Try again, slick. Kent: but coffee cup Dave: There's no hope for you. Kent: hits spongebob with hammer stop being dumb Kent: majority opinion is wrong Dave: Science is not an "opinion". Try again. Kent: but dog dont produce non dog
    719
  83. It says a lot when all the comments below are praising Dave for an easy understandable video. Perhaps it is time for our Department of Educations to start taking notes!
    717
  84. Don't worry about degrees bro. Legends don't need any such degree for reputation or value. They earn value through their legendary work. You are a legend bro. And your work is legendary(which you are doing in youtube). Many people are getting such degrees, but many people are not becoming Professor Dave. You are benefiting SO MANY students around the world(myself included) with your digi classes with your easy way of explaining things. You are spreading knowledge, spreading it in a simple and easy manner. And knowledge should be always spreaded like this.. simple and easy, for a proper world. Yes, the world is not yet proper with the educational system. Education is knowledge. And if knowledge is fun to learn, only then we can learn it. It cannot be learnt if it is presented boringly and scarily. So you are definitely doing good work for the world. That is what is most important. Just keep up your good work sir. Remember, your work is not just good, it is IMPORTANT. And i will try to donate you in future to help you more.
    715
  85. Professor Dave should have my professor's salary. My prof would not teach this to us and would say we should have known this already because it was taught in high school even though it was not.
    709
  86. The fact that you can keep this under 10 minutes and include everything is amazing. There's literally a 1 hour video on the exact same thing.
    705
  87. that was insanely well explained. you deserve every single subscriber.
    704
  88. Your videos were what initially inspired me years ago in elementary school to become an evolutionary biologist. Now I’m a senior-year high school student interning with the largest research college in my state. Thanks Professor Dave!
    695
  89. Gotta love how with quarantined schooling teachers have given up on teaching and recognized that people like you have been the ones actually teaching us.
    691
  90. In these 16 minutes I managed to understand what my science teacher couldn't teach me in 3 weeks tysm
    687
  91. Also, I was on a PA school board when the Dover Trial was going on. The ID people lobbied us HARD bringing in 10 boxes of materials--one for each school board director and the superintendent. Among the items was Behe's book. We politely told them to go to hell.
    682
  92. I wanna learn Calculus. But somewhere in Grade school I missed catching up Math. So Im gonna start here.
    677
  93. I lost my shit multiple times. Your wit is incredible. Thanks for the content Dave
    671
  94. When I graduate med school I will be making a hefty donation to this guy. He has saved my butt.
    650
  95. This paltry contribution is way overdue but I hope that despite the late arrival, this pittance helps you keep up with the great work you do 😁
    645
  96. Thanks for the comedy gold, Dave. When I see you smiling I know you're in for the kill, and you never disappoint hammering these clowns.
    642
  97. If my professor taught this clearly I could keep up with class
    642
  98. my uni's dean of science ('actual' chemistry professor) links your vids when he taught chem in my BSc. That's more important than a professor title in my opinion; you're very good at what you do Dave.
    640
  99. Dave's opening 8 minutes: high speed science presentation Kent's opening 8 minutes: rant from the crazy guy at the Golden Corral buffet on Sunday after church
    630
  100. You are wrong. You said none of his minions would even listen to your video
. I was one of them. Subscribed back in 2011 and I have been following since. WAS. All I can say is THANK YOU!! I was sucked into his bull like he says the sun is going to suck the life out of most of us. This video is over a year old and I would love to hear an update video from you in what has happened since then. My husband was a surgeon and a smart man. He was easily turned by Ben, which is sad because he went in a prepping spree
 spent all of our retirement setting up our home and lives to survive the doomsday predictions then took his life. People like Ben can be very dangerous to even learned men and women. He talks so fast, and since none of us are physicists and can even follow what he is saying, we buy in. THANK YOU for slowing his speak down and explaining it. Sad
 so very sad. You HAVE turned a minion away. I suspect I’m not the only one.
    625
  101. Dave this is a great summary! Thanks for fighting the good fight on behalf of all of us!
    623
  102. Every Christian "Conversion" story be like "Yeah I was a staunch Atheist for 30 years and I had a PHD in Evolutionary biology, but then I heard the kalam argument one time and instantly converted over to Christianity right there on the spot, invalidating my years of study"
    612
  103. I am 10 min away from a test and I just learned the last thing I needed to know 😭 thank you so much!!!
    609
  104. 4 minutes with you is more effective than 120 minutes with my teacher
    598
  105. How hilarious would it have been if the View went to commercial break and they had Don Cheadle sitting there instead of Howard?
    597
  106. Terry is what stupid people think a smart person sounds like.
    583
  107. I know a lot of youtube creationists who have been pushing the Tour series for the past few months. It must be very embarrassing to back someone and have them so thoroughly shown to be uninformed/dishonest? Dave, my favorite part was the "Deceptive Tactics of Id proponents", because you so succinctly summarized exactly what dealing with these people is like. These guy (Tour, Jeanson, Sanford, Carter, Tomkins) have the incredible ability to do decent science when it doesn't threaten their YEC, but revert to a highschool level understanding the moment evolution or abio enters the picture. It's a powerful cognitive dissonance OR a downright chilling deception. And when they do attempt to address the gaping holes of Creationism, it becomes appearent it isn't about answers, but the illusion of answers, if only to placate the flock into believing that "everything is under control, we will be vindicated in the end". Great work!
    582
  108. Every Discovery Institute debunk puts the widest-ever grin on my face. Thank you. I hope you know the political and societal significance of the work you do!
    577
  109. I just want to say thank you! My entire study group has been trying to interpret our professor for weeks now, our test was two days ago, and we learned our entire unit from your videos. We all got A's. We were all sitting around the tv watching your videos as everything just completely fell into place. We must have said, "Oh my god, it's so simple though!" every 3 minutes. Thank you so much! People don't hear that enough, so just to let you know, you are well appreciated.
    570
  110. 5:31 "the reaction order HAPPENS to match the stoichiometric ... but this won't always be the case" right there, professor dave has done what no fucking textbook in the fucking world has ever done. it has pointed out something that a student might mistake, by thinking the way a student might. hats off. well done. please write a text book or ten for students who wouldn't know any better and make that mistake. i'm a 30-something year old engineer, and i'm dead serious. you are the man.
    568
  111. I love your intro. Please never change this at any cost. I love it.
    562
  112. As someone who is deeply religious - I appreciate your call out in the beginning of the video that this is not a debate on whether or not a deity exists. Something I feel too many religious persons do is try to justify the existence of God using empirical means, when that’s just not possible, and in my opinion, just not meant to be. Religion exists to answer fundamental questions of the soul - our purpose, our destiny, etc. I’ve always tried to keep religion out of the realm of science, as that’s not what it’s there to explain. Conversely, the “evidence” of God is intended to be personal and private - something that connects with the soul. I don’t believe we will ever look to the stars and see empirical evidence of a God, as it’s meant to be a personal discovery. As always, Dave, I appreciate your thoroughness and high quality content, even if we disagree on the existence of God.
    550
  113. Well Professor Dave, you've gotten me through four chemistry classes and now we're on to anatomy.
    540
  114. Every month, when I look at my credit card report before paying it, there is a line called « Patreon membership ». My reaction has been the same since the first time : « Yup, totally worth it ». I will never understand why science deniers are so often loud and proud of it, but I’m glad there is still some excellent science communicators like you out there.
    536
  115. This man literally made an 8 minute video that covered 2 lectures of Orgo class. Where can I donate?
    536
  116. I realized, when James was showing that spectra analysis and going "If you're a synthetic chemist, you'll laugh" that... dude's desperate to be respected, huh. He's pretending that his flock are all just like him, professional scientists who think the same way he does, instead of anti-science zealots who want to strip funding from schools and universities. It's why he gets so mad when people criticize him from the angle Dave's been, attacking his competence and ability to read papers, because it hits him right in the sorest spot he's got; the fact that he's thrown away all his credibility to give talks at megachurches. Your followers aren't your people, James. They don't know what you're saying. They're not synthetic chemists, nor are they any type of professional scientist at all. They're looking for any reason to justify their distrust of education and their desire to use political power to influence the direction research takes. You're never going to gain credibility with them, man. Stop.
    531
  117. I debated hovind once. Well, three times actually. Thanks for the memories Dave
    526
  118. People like SciManDan just debunk flatearthers, you my friend utterly destroy them. Really well done thank you for that.
    525
  119. You helped me shame my flatearther dad over Christmas... He's no longer a flathead
    520
  120. 7:53 x = 1.3 * 10 ^-3 not -9 for anyone who found it confusing it's just a mistake in the video
    516
  121. This kind of narrative is plaguing European region too and yet somehow we don't have a science communicator and/or debunker of this magnitude and style. So I decided to support Dave as Patreon, hoping to help to make the channel even stronger and because of it, just maybe, to see a spill-over of his style onto "my" continent. Btw. I hashtaged Dave's channel in one of the comments in Piers video and mentioned that Dave reacted. ;) Let's see what happens!
    512
  122. As one of the poor undergrads who had to take a class with Tour, I appreciate this video haha! Keep up the great work, we're cheering you on from Houston :D
    500
  123. Professor Dave deserves our tuition fee. I'm learning effectively to him rather than university professors tbh
    497
  124. How far we've come in just my, as yet short, lifetime. As a teenager they were still mapping the human genome. Now we've figured out how and where to edit that genome to solve diseases. Caution is warranted, but I wish more people were impressed and inspired by this than afraid.
    496
  125. Hey, for real thanks for making this. In hopes of not heaping shame upon myself I will come out and say I needed to see this. I feel extremely foolish and embarrassed for letting that particular brand of fear grab me. Anyone else who was on the edge of that rabbit hole, it’s ok to step back, we all let ourselves slip and get caught up.
    495
  126. I used to be on the "Ur mean! be more diplomatic!" train, but by now I've watched a large number of intellectuals and kind people patiently sharing their knowledge and life experiences, representing a more rational and compassionate worldview for years. I've watched them waste years of their lives reaching across the table, gritting their teeth and surrendering to the tone policing while everything they are and stand for is under a deliberate, dishonest, cynical and often aggressive attack from people who only care to control their audiences for wealth, power and control. Being nice clearly hasn't worked, seeing the current state of affairs. So I'm all for exposing these people and showing no mercy, whether it's science denial, bigotry or both, as they tend to go hand in hand.
    487
  127. As a lab spectroscopist, I am shocked by the temerity of James' assessment of that NMR spectrum. The inability to understand the concepts of S/N ratios and equilibriation effects would instantly lead me to question how he even got his diploma in organic chemistry.
    482
  128. As a Christian man who grew up thinking science was created to destroy the faith in God, I'm glad I found your channel. Your videos helped me have a better understanding of how science explains our world and universe.
    482
  129. Hey Dave, in our interview with you and Aron Ra, we pressed you on your use of rhetoric. After realizing what kind of person you're dealing with, I realize now that your use of words were necessary. I hope more people look past James Tours stunt and sincerely look to the peer reviewed primary literature to understand what is actually going on with Origin of Life research. Your friend Derek
    475
  130. If Richard Feynman was "The Great Explainer" professor, you are his closest associate! Thank You for such a cogent video sir.
    466
  131. Thank you for being one of the only voices I have found, that not only debunks the epidemic of bullshit surrounding our lives, but also treats it with the contempt and anger it deserves. Your videos help me cope with a world gone mad.
    466
  132. So good this explanation makes MIT lectures look like an overpriced DLC pack
    464
  133. THANK YOU DAVE! And thank you for putting the shoutout of Rice University students who have had to deal with the constant ignorance and reeking arrogance of this piecemeal scientist in an introductory organic chemistry class. As a Rice student myself, I want to add on and confirm that last semester's class with him was such a drag and it was only your presence that helped me get through it. Whether it was your basic and easy-to-understand videos that filled my knowledge gaps (resulting from precious time wasted on discussing pro-pollutant stances and the process of producing chemical weapons) or your response videos that allowed me to watch my professor get gloriously dunked on, I have much to thank you for, Dave. EDIT: Holy... I wrote this comment with five minutes left to spare in the video, and missed the craziest part. If you come to Rice University (unfortunately unlikely, because of how spineless Tour can be), I will be there to support you!
    462
  134. Most underrated science channel. College hack
    451
  135. I just unsubscribed from Suspicious Observers because of this video. Thank you Dave. I'm not proud to admit that as a non-scientist, I fell for the razzle -dazzle. I'm embarrassed that I watched his videos regularly for over a year. But I'm glad that someone is here to counter his content with critical thinking because for those of us not well versed in cosmology, his videos are an easy and shiny trap to fall into. I just subscribed to your channel as well, for good measure. Thanks again for the quality content.
    450
  136. If I had been in the audience, my question to James would have been: "Did you give Dave that nice present at the start of the night in a cynical attempt to preload the audience with the concept that you're the 'good guy' in this scenario?" Because I'd love to see how he would attempt to explain that very obvious rhetorical trick away.
    450
  137. Professor Dave, I hope my comment makes it to your eyes at some point. I know you’re a busy guy so reading every comment on your YouTube channel is likely impossible. But I’ll leave this in the hope that you see it at some point. Mostly I want to say thank you. My daughter has some slight learning disabilities and her mother, my ex wife, is a flat earther. My daughter is 15 but with her learning issues has roughly a 2nd or 3rd grade math and science capability. Her mother had at one point attempted to “teach” my kid flat earth garbage. Basically, she was unsuccessful in part because I found your channel. The higher level debunks were a bit over her head, as physics and some other things are a bit out of reach for her still. But your videos that used zero science and only needed observation are the thing that made the switch flip in her brain. So you at bare minimum helped a LOT in saving her from the flat rabbit hole. We watched several of your other debunk videos and a lot of the more intricate science started to stick with her as well. Then, as I searched around on your channel, I found your tutorial videos. They’re absolutely amazing and are helping her with every aspect of math and science in school. They’re presented in a way that’s perfect for her. So we’ve been going through a bunch of your older videos and hitting all the stuff that’s at her level. And that level is going up very quickly! Plus, it’s given her a way to get legitimately interested in science, which had not been the case before. Your channel has become an invaluable resource for my family. I thank you so much!
    446
  138. Why can't every physics teacher or a professor explain it that simple
    445
  139. cant thank you enough for this video. I went to khan academy, and 3blue1brown and didn't understand a thing, finally, before I gave up on it, I came to your video and understood everything. You made it way easier and simple to understand. You are a very talented man !! thank you. !!!
    442
  140. I finished watching all 165 of your math videos and would like to thank you for preparing them.
    441
  141. Dave, reading through the comments, it’s uplifting and encouraging to note the number of folks who were rescued from the abyss of anti-science fundamentalism. The world needs more of you, Dave.
    439
  142. Hi Professor Dave. As a ninth grader, it's very hard for me to find what happens at a molecular levels- be it for such chemical bonding or even physical phenomena such as refraction. This is because frankly people don't care and make the effort to understand; or because some explanations are too complex and beyond my level. Hence, I'd like to sincerely thank you for uploading these helpful videos. Without all the glam and hype, you explain concepts in such an easy to understand manner. In fact, I'm really surprised that not many people know you. Whenever I search for a concept in YouTube, I make sure to specify your channel! Thanks once again! A.H.A
    439
  143. This man has taught me physics, organic chemistry, a little biochem, and NOW ANATOMY?! I cannot thank this dude enough for his simple breakdowns of all my hardest subjects. He deserves so many teaching awards.
    438
  144. your method of teaching proves why textbooks do not need hundreds of pages
    434
  145. The way you make physics easy and interesting is rare, most youtubers and professors make me want to drop the book on my head, and on top of that I'm studying from Physics by Serway as my main source so it's not much help. Thank you once again! You're the BEST!
    430
  146. Great job again, Dave. I'm epidemiologist and rheumatologist, and to a large extend disagree with Hossenfelders viewpoints (and style for that matter). I would love to show her around my 12 phd 3 postdoc research team and demonstrate what we are doing, and what we deliver. Keep up the solid work.
    428
  147. Thank you Prof Dave! About a year ago Ben's channel came up in my feed and I started watching in the mornings. When the fearmongering got deep, I became a Suspicious Observer of HIM prompting me to do my due diligence that I, in retrospect, I should have done initially. Found you and you confirmed my suspicions! Thank you!
    428
  148. Professor Dave, I hope your debate with James Tour inspires other scientists to grow some balls and join you in calling out these grifters and educating the public. I'm sick of fundamentalists controlling scientific narratives and progress because of "divine providence". I'm sick of going to my local Barnes and Noble and seeing Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan grouped together with goobers like Deepak Chopra. Keep up the good work, sir.
    426
  149. Hi Professor Dave. I took the time to translate the subtitles of this video to french so that it hopefully can touch more people. I tried to stay as close as possible to the tone and spirit, even if translation doesn't always allow it. Happy to help. Thanks for your great job.
    421
  150. I am not blaming others but I kinda wouldn't have failed my first year if someone would've taught me like this, I had 0 interest back then hahah. You are an amazing teacher!
    417
  151. Extremely helpful. My teacher encounters some inability to teach this stuff for some reason.
    417
  152. This was an exceptional video, so big thanks for that. I've studied physics for a good time in highschool, and I thought I was really good at it. Until I got to a CS college and started to study calculus and how it is related to mechanics. Then things got a bit messy and now I am recovering the stuff I thought was self-explanatory at first. I think it was the video I needed to clarify the confusedness in my head. Keep up the great work!
    414
  153. I cannot express how much I love that you always say "Neo-nazi Eric Dubay" every time you refer to him. But here's 5 bucks haha.
    413
  154. Thank you Professor Dave for exposing these stupid liars of Discovery Institute
    412
  155. Not enough people are calling these tools out
    407
  156. Want to update: on my A&P quiz I passed! Missed only one question. Got 92%. Thanks a lot!!!
    405
  157. Jonathan Wells was a grad student in Molecular and Cell Biology when I was a grad student in Zoology at Berkeley (late 1980s, early 90s). Had lunch with him several times. He tried to give me the impression he was just a confused grad student, trying to reconcile his faith with his work. Nothing could be further from the truth. His entry into MCB was directly funded by Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Yup, before he was a schill for the discotute, he was a moonie. People like this are literally programmed from an early age NOT to tell the truth. They literally CANNOT be honest with you if you ask them pointed questions. It's sad and pathetic. There were MANY heated arguments between MCB and the other biological sciences about them letting him even BE a student there. Sad to say, money talks, all the rest walks. MCB was happy to take moonie money.
    403
  158. WOW!! This guy is very good.. I been struggling with this for days, reading a lot and getting more confused. He made it simple to understand. Why cant more teachers do this???
    402
  159. Why can't we have professors like you in class???
    395
  160. You saved me. This makes so much sense. Usually my math teacher is great at explaining, but I could not get related rates for the life of me. I can't believe it makes sense.
    391
  161. I look forward to Tour's 370-part response to the debate.
    391
  162. Dave, you are really an amazing science communicator. Would love to see you more "out there" talking and discussing. You have a way to be able to dumb it down to an appropriate level, without being condescending, but still able to fully and clearly get the points across.
    390
  163. A few months ago I also was a "flat Earther" thanks to you I understood the logic behind things. Thank you. And for all the rest of my friends who are still in this brainwashing try to ask yourself, "What if he's right?" Find the truth for yourself and do not believe everything you are told without knowing whether it is true or not.
    389
  164. Dave. We need more people like you. When Hitchens died there was saying: don’t mourn him, become him. Atheism is still looked down on in society. People may think one way of me and when we get to the topic of religion and they find out I am atheist their perspective of me changes to the negative. Please become more outspoken. Debate and educate.
    387
  165. Hey Dave, thanks for dumbing it down to a level I could understand. I watched a video about flat earth a while ago, and I actually KINDA started to see what flat earthers were talking about. Now, I grew up KNOWING the earth was round, but started to doubt it, (and other things) at a really low point in my life, which also happened to be at the start of this whole corona shit show. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you "Thanks👍" for putting that video up. You keep it interesting with your little snide, but yet witty & smart commententary at the same time. Keep making videos😁
    386
  166. Thank you for not being like other Chem professors who pretend these particular reactions are so simple. The language itself is confusing and the Chem Department doesn't try to simplify despite the the thousands we pay them to TEACH US! THANK YOU!
    381
  167. The structure paper he did at Babraham is trash. I was at the Sanger Center at the same time as him and all of us students would meet up in the EBI regularly. His supervisor had a huge fight with him over that paper and refused to be a co-author. It's unheard of for a student to publish without their supervisor being on the paper like that. It was a huge scandal. And he told us he had done the work to prove creationism, and even described how he'd "fixed" the result by how he framed what counted as a functional protein. He is a dishonest, garbage person IMHO.
    380
  168. I have seen you since I was in junior high school. I go to these videos everytime. It’s far more complete as compared to other videos. I grew up with you. Now, I’m already in pre-med. Thank you for sharing the knowledge all throughout the years!
    380
  169. 2 hours of lecture, 1 hour of class asking questions, 1 hour of review next class... Students confused. Watch this 12 minute video. Concepts understood.
    379
  170. About a year ago I dove deeply in quantum mechanics, almost as a hobby. Determined to understand the significance of the finding the Higgs-Boson particle, and why the construction of the LHC at CERN, led me into the depths of quantum mechanics. Not once in the dozens of hours I spent reading about quantum mechanics did I see the simplicity of the standing wave of an electron, and its relationship to the Schrodinger equation, like I just saw in less than 7 minutes. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort Prof. Dave!
    379
  171. It's wild that once upon a time, you called Dr. Tour a "respected chemist". No doubt he's got credentials, but there's nothing respectable about his particularly unlettered antics during his "debate" with you, Prof. Dave. Any semblance of respect he once held is greatly dimished by his inability to have an intellectually honest discussion.
    378
  172. I'm in year 11, and we have so far had 4 weeks of term, in chemistry class I've learnt next to nothing, that's from 4 weeks! In just half an hour I'm almost learnt all of what has been taught for the whole 4 weeks, thank you very much Prof. Dave!
    377
  173. Getting myself into med school with your help one topic at a time
    373
  174. Goodness how far he's fallen. I had a fair amount of respect for Tour in the past. I've even previously taken to reading over some of his work with graphene (along with other projects) over the years. Nothing truly groundbreaking, but he had a fair talent for information organization and creating great research briefs. Compare that to now, where he somehow still managed to get eviscerated in a debate format / setting of his choosing, with a sympathetic moderation team and a crowd of his people. I'm not even mad at the guy anymore- I just feel shame. I'm embarrassed for him and anyone who believes him without scrutinizing what he says I'm ashamed for him- it is almost painful that he is throwing so much away for blind loyalty to fringe religious dogma. His flagrant mischaracterizations and blatant lies deserve nothing more than harsh rebuke and shame- he insults all of academia with his lies and he insults the religion he's attempting to prop up by reducing this argument to "telling lies and hoping the congregation doesn't check." If you follow him, you should feel insulted too. And this is all because he can't handle another one of those perceived "gaps" being filled by academia? I hope Tour gets out of this line of work and gets some perspective, I'm really rooting for the guy.
    369
  175. Thank you so much Professor Dave. I'm a 49 year old maintenance technician and am interested in studying to get a BA in mechanical engineering. I use your physics and math courses from time to time as a way to keep my mind fresh and pass time in an educational way. Recently my 14 year old son has showed an interest in science, particularly astronomy. Long story short, I turned him on to your channel and he is now a well-spring of knowledge. Keep up the good work Dave.
    368
  176. Hi Professor Dave, I was originally a mathematician working in topology but I eventually transitioned to what I call "applied pure math" and eventually to machine learning. 42:12 just aggravates me because creating algorithms to work through data is what machine learning is about. He is just denouncing a whole field of study into something that is basically an impossible endeavor. Now, for those who are interested, I will try to explain how the scientists processed the blackhole data. They used three algorithms: 1) An algorithm to clean up the convoluted data. We call this deconvolution. Simply, this process uses fourier transforms. This algorithm is called CLEAN and has been improved over time. 2) An algorithm for regularized maximum likelihood estimation with sparse modeling and L1-regularization. The definitions and methods are a bit technical here, but it is basically an algorithm to: - Pick the right samples so that it will be more informative and accurate - Prevent overfitting (when the sample is too specific that the model cannot be applied to the whole data/the general case). 3) Regularized maximum likelihood algorithm with maximum entropy regularization. This algorithm is for processing VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) data. This is what creates the image. VLBI means using radio waves to predict the shape of the object. As a final note, these are not arcane methods known only by a select group of people. The packages used to implement the algorithms are available on github. https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging (For VLBI data manipulation) https://github.com/astrosmili/smili (sparse modeling for Interferometry) Other than the regular python data processing packages these are the ones they used. Robitaille should have looked at this before he makes his baseless claims Feel free to reply if anyone wanna ask anything
    366
  177. I'm a physics and chemistry teacher and I be watching your videos to help explain things to my students. Thank you!
    364
  178. please guys DO DO DONATE its people like him doing great job helping millions with their studies,let the donations be a token of appreciation on our behalf.God's blessings.
    362
  179. I hate math for the last 20 years but all of a sudden I realized that why should I fear to learn it. As I have only one life and I want to explore it. So decided to learn but after searching too many channels, @Professor Dave's Explanation made me to subscribe his channel. Hope I get support from the Admin and Community. Thank you.
    360
  180. Beer's law? Aye, I'll drink to that.
    360
  181. Your video on Quantum Mysticism freed me from Quantum Mysticism. I was a follower of Leo Gura at the time. I still remember him telling us in one of his videos that we are vampires who need to burn away in the sun. I have already thanked Aron Ra for his help. So it's about time I thank you.
    358
  182. I self learned linear algebra with the help of your videos, the appreciation is not describable. Thank you so much professor Dave
    357
  183. Thank you soooooo much for making these videos. I know you have helped tons of students understanding the subjects more.
    357
  184. Hey, im a teacher in Croatia. I teach elementary chemistry to 7th and 8th grade kids. Kids fall for this kind of stuff so this saves me time finding all the shit they say ( not only those two ). Pure gold. Thank you, thank you so much.
    356
  185. I really admited "Dr." Tour's brilliant points he made recently, including the following brilliant, peer-reviewed insights, such as: "AHHHHHHHH MR FARINA!" and who could forget his groundbreaking commentaries, such as: "AHHHH CLUELESS!" I can see why the Discovery "Institute" stakes their reputation on brilliant innovative "scientists" like this man, and Casey Luskin and probably Kent Hovind.
    355
  186. I can find the “thumbs up “ icon, but I can’t find the “standing applause “ icon. Great presentation!
    351
  187. Professor Dave brings me into med school and now through it. This man is a genius !
    350
  188. I work for a university. I watch Professor Dave's videos because he explains this stuff better than my own faculty.
    350
  189. Thank you for giving your time to something like debunking flat earth 🌎. I learned a ton from this talk.
    349
  190. Recently deconverted from christianity, debunks like these definitely helped. Seeing these religious scientists like the frauds they are made me appalled and helped me realise some of the damage done from religion. Thanks Dave for the always insightful content that you create and the dedication you put into these videos to seek truth in a world of lies and fraudulence
    348
  191. I say this with conviction. When my son gets a little older I will be using your content as well as scishow to support my sons education. When that happens, I’ll be a patreon👍 I hope your still around next year✊
    344
  192. I’ll be sending one relating to your flat earth videos đŸ‘đŸ»
    342
  193. There was a time i was travelling down the conspiracy path. Thanks to you along with a few others I was pulled from intellectual disaster
    339
  194. Hey Dave, I have a fairly damning piece of evidence that Sabines E-Mail was likely self-written - at 9:44, where it says "I understand that all what I wrote [...]", this is just plain German poorly translated into English, and very characteristic of Sabines English. I'm working on my B.Ed. in English and History and am a native German myself, and I hear these kinds of idiomatic mistakes all the time. The dead giveaway is the "what", because it's... let's call it clumsy English, but makes perfect sense in German. According to her, the anonymous E-Mailer supposedly worked/works at a top level position in an American university, though she doesn't specify if they're American or not - so either this supposed top level researcher from a prestiguous American University is a native German with a similar level of english proficiency as Sabine, or the author of the E-Mail is Sabine herself. Makes ya wonder which it is, eh?

  195. I've binged all of your kinematic videos, after feeling lost in physics 11 for ages. I can't thank you enough. I feel like it's starting to make a little more sense now.
    338
  196. I have a hard time understanding physics when there's no too much theory, but your videos are the only ones who make me understand 100% everything in physics. I want to say that thanks to your videos I got the best score in physics of 100%
    336
  197. I love you bro. You saved my life for orgo in undergrad, now you're saving my life in dental school. I needed someone to just organize everything like the way you did in that chart. Now it all makes sense. Thank you bro!
    336
  198. The fact that Prof Dave directly contacts the maligned scientists was so powerful the first time I saw this video. I've since realized that this is the normal way that research is done. Since my view of science was programmed by pseudoscience propagandists, it was eye opening to realize that the big hats in science put contact information right on their publications to facilitate discussion.
    329
  199. Professor Dave is the reason I am no longer a young earth creationist
    329
  200. Thanks for taking the time to cover these higher-level topics. I know they don't perform as well as some of your lower-level videos, but this is incredibly helpful to college-level students such as myself whose professors glossed over most of this information.
    327
  201. I just wonder how nasa went back in time to indoctrinate all those greeks and egyptians
    326
  202. I'm a senior biology undergrad and I've learned all of this several times over, but your video really helped me kind of glue them all together if that makes sense. I actually have a better visual understanding of how DNA functions, as opposed to just words on an exam.
    325
  203. It baffles me how you're able to put out this incredibly high-quality content so consistently and most channels/networks can't advance past a black screen and 20min of "uhh so umm"
    322
  204. Thank you for your debunking, I can't bear to listen to 3+hrs of this crap, but I appreciate you bother scrutinising all these horrible toxic BS artists on YouTube.
    322
  205. I must say, it's been really satisfying to witness Dave's slow transformation from mild-mannered science educator, to end boss of pseudoscience debunking. And this series has been the culmination of that slow burn.
    321
  206. This has truly got to be one of the funniest attempts at a "debunk" by easily two of the most individually morally bankrupt christians on the platform. Seriously, in just the first 5 minutes I couldn't stop laughing at them calling you a 'communist' and gawking at you 'not being gay'. At least they got one fact right. They're definitely comedians, if absolutely nothing else.
    321
  207. I absolutely love your videos. I know you're struggling with viewership but please don't leave youtube, you're an amazing YouTuber and are of so much help! You're the reason I've been able to learn calculus, vectors, trigonometry and everything else in 9th grade. I love you man!
    319
  208. Once my physics course is over, I promise I will donate to your channel. Thank you, Professor.
    316
  209. I've been working with origin of life researchers the past 6 years and you did a wonderful job summarizing the field. I'm impressed how well you summarized this. That's why I support you on Patreon, brother!
    313
  210. Hello Dave! I'm graduating college tomorrow with a biology degree and I wanted to thank you for these videos you make. I owe my A in Organic Chemistry I and II to you and this playlist. Thank you for everything you do!
    313
  211. Will be surprised if this didn't get de-monitised with the increased swearing as you got more frustrated with increased alchohol 😁 which was entertaining. đŸ€Ł So here are a couple of Euros towards a new bottle
    311
  212. As a former flat-earther, you have proven to me that my camp was wrong and now I see the world is actually round, a round Earth is the correct way of looking at it and is simply the correct description. I'm so glad you took the time to make this video and read this comment to it's end, I never thought Earth was flat. Trying to make you feel your efforts are worthwhile.
    311
  213. Multiple days of class and it just wasn't clicking. And it takes one 10 minute video to cement it. Holy hell.
    310
  214. Math, chem, astronomy, Italian, bio, and anatomy among other things. You've got a helluva melon on your shoulders. Thank you so much for saving my grades, especially during a time when in-person classes aren't a thing!
    308
  215. Why did I watch this entire video? I already know all this stuff. This is the magic of Dave, just very easy to watch :) Great job! Sincerely, a heart doctor.
    307
  216. Hi. TESC 2017 grad here! Your wrap up on the truth is one of the better I’ve seen in the space. To compound things, students had been already been protesting the administration for a safer campus since 2016 and had been protesting for the removal of campus police after they took in two POC students for questioning from their dorms at 2-3am over an incident that had been resolved. Things were already tense on campus so some clown misunderstanding Day of Absence and then running to Fox News to cry which ended in multiple shooting and bomb threats which interrupted classes, you can imagine it was a really traumatizing experience for the people that actually matter, the students and staff. Students were doxxed, guns were fired in the air around the dorms, hate symbols were graffittid on campus. It was awful. My last classes before graduation had to be held off campus because no one felt safe. Anyway. Thanks for getting to these guys. Brett should be paying for my therapy with all those intellectual dark bucks lol!
    307
  217. 27:00 James Tour is only a couple of steps away from unironically saying "spectroscopy needs to be in a container"
    303
  218. Professor Dave, that’s the best H-R diagram description I’ve ever seen! Most H-R discussions are simply temperature vs mass explanations. You correctly make it a “roadmap” for the life of high/low mass stars. Even textbooks I’ve read don’t make that connection.
    302
  219. There is a simple way to understand science.. Just take your phone/pc --> youtube --> Professor dave explains.. that's all
    298
  220. Kent calls Dave stupid for believing in science whilst believing in a book where God turns himself human to sacrifice himself to himself so that his creation of humans can be spared from the eternal curse he cast unto them.
    296
  221. I may never fully understand all of the language, but you make the concepts so easy to understand. Thank you. PS- I just started reading your book "Is That Wi-Fi Organic", and it's amazing!👍
    295
  222. I literally have a midterm in 2 hours you are a godsend
    288
  223. Prof Dave, I just wanted you to know I used this video my High school senior year, in college chemistry, and here I am again using it for my mcat. Thank you isn't enough but here goes: Thank you, Prof Dave
    288
  224. As a physician who encounters the damaging effects of science illiteracy every day, Dave articulates perfectly what we all want to say.
    288
  225. It's so cool that you cover every subject I'm currently studying. After every class I have, I watch your videos about it and they help me understand every detail even better
    287
  226. Hi Dave, I am a reseacher in a field that is somewhat novel (started in 2009), liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins. It was discovered that certain proteins can spontaneously form membraneless organelles, usually in the presence of RNA. It has been a new evidence that supports how life could have started and evolved only in the presence of RNA and proteins. These organelles, similar to membrane-bound ones, provide unique environments that can concentrate dynamically biomolecules and enzymes in order to promote catalytic activity. And as you stated to argument with Tour "why would there be a need for all 20 amino acids in the early biogenesis?", in fact most proteins that form membraneless organelles are very simple and repetitive and often contain only a few amount of amino acids, the most common being glycines, which are the simplest amino acid. I am sure Tour knows about this field because it has been very much talked about, but must have ignored it because it does suit his premise.
    287
  227. Coming back to this video, wow I forgot how Dave sounds when he's wearing kid gloves. His voice is so light, he's so generous...generously good faith, overly so in hindsight, etc. Dave is a True Class Act. Makes watching his later "sassy" response videos to Tour even more satisfying.
    286
  228. I've been following you for several years now. I'm a science educator myself and you do an awesome job! Keep it up.👍
    285
  229. I'm a sophomore in college. I'm learning linear algebra this time, and it was hard because the professor's lecture at my school was too difficult. I found your channel while I was looking for a supplement, and it was very helpful. Thank you for this. I hope you will continue to make good videos.
    283
  230. Dave, I have no idea if you will read this but - Thank you. Just, thank you. I don't understand how you can find the time to put all these people in their place and continue to create videos, explain things so well, and just do what you do. You are so amazing and I hope in the future your other videos (The ones not debunking fake science) will reach the levels of success your other ones have seen.
    283
  231. This might be a good place to shout out some other YouTube channels that do deep dives on these various types of creationism and all produce top tier content: - Gutsick Gibbon (Erika) - knows paleoanthropology (human evolution), debunks young earth creationism extensively - Aron Ra - knows paleontology and evolutionary biology, argues against various flavours of theists in biology - Creation Myths (Dr Dan) - knows genetics, disproves very specific claims of creationists mathematically - Forrest Valkai - knows a lot about biology, great for education of science newbs and ex-YECs - Dapper Dinosaur - knows a lot, debunks all kinds of pseudoscience, kinda like Prof Dave but more livestreams - Based Theory (Grayson) - knows abiogenesis, debates many topics in molecular biology and geology - Age of Rocks - very small channel, has great explainers on radiometric dating and how it works - King Crockoduck - knows a lot, had a famous debate with Kent Hovind on age of the universe
    280
  232. you're way better than my textbook and my professor combined
    280
  233. 2 years ago this video helped me pass my general chemistry course on college, I’m so happy it reached this much views!!! Ever since I’ve been learning about different topics in your channel such as physics and italian. Thank you Professor Dave!!! You’re the best!
    280
  234. As a paleontologist and university professor, I truly appreciate your video. Very thorough job! By the way, the Cambrian Explosion is being referred as the Great Cambrian Biodiversification Event to stop Creationists from misrepresenting the word “explosion” for their nefarious messaging. The DI propaganda makes me cringe. I’m glad you spent the time to debunk their insane messaging. It concerns me with interest dropping in the natural sciences at the university level that the DI propaganda will take advantage of it.
    279
  235. More understandable and efficient than reading 20 pages of my textbook :)
    278
  236. I teach high school science so I already use Professor Dave Explains videos. I think I will start all my classes with this video on Monday. It is an excellent answer to the eternal student whine of "When will I ever use this in the real world."
    277
  237. Thank you. After 30 years and no degree from UC Irvine, I understand this better. I opened my original calculus book and I'm going through all of it again now. Your video helps greatly!
    276
  238. 2 weeks ago I looked for a video of someone debunking Chris. Of course Dave comes through! Thank you for posting this.
    274
  239. I’ve learned more from Professor Dave than anyone else. I’m a 40+ high school drop out and I find it so easy to learn the way he teaches. If you happen to read this, Thank you Thank you Thank you Prof Dave
    272
  240. I started from lesson 1 and finished now. I couldn't even solve the simplest algebraic equation and even had trouble doing some arithmetic. Now I can even do calculus. I am planning to study physics so I decided to go through the math playlist first, and then the physics playlist. Thank you so much Dave, you are a really awesome person. :)
    271
  241. Wow you deserve MANY more views than that. I have been on the hunt for good math videos for my kids and i have been through HUNDREDS of them about slope, etc. Hands down this is the most clear, concise and uncluttered explanation out there. Gold medal to you!
    267
  242. it’s time for finals again so you know what that means! binge watching professor dave’s videos!
    266
  243. Our science teacher played this video in our class and heck it was awesome and really helpful. Thanks proffesor!
    265
  244. This is probably the most underrated channels on YouTube. I have only recently started watching your videos and I can already say that you deserve at least a million subs.
    265
  245. Thank you for your sacrifice, Dave! I hope your mental health can recover from making this.
    263
  246. This guy is awesome and sits among very few in the league of educating / Tutoring YouTubers.
    261
  247. No longer believe the Earth is flat because of this video. GOD! All that wasted time and energy! ditto you crushed it better than anyone
    260
  248. Wow this made learning the biochemistry chapter 4 in my MCAT books much easier to review before doing the sample problems at the end of the chapter. Thank you so much for clearly explaining the concept, it's been really helpful!
    259
  249. Wow he really took adavantage of my add and anxiety. I’m 15 and suffer big anxiety so I watch most of his videos thinking he is filling me in but I’ve always felt that the stuff he says sounds just so unbelievable. L thank you for showing me this video. Honestly I haven’t watchhed his videos for at least a week and I’ve felt much better. I can’t thank you enough I can finally focus more on my basketball and my life
    257
  250. Absolutely crystal clear concept while clearing every aspect
    257
  251. I wish to say, at the outset, that I am NOT a scientist (although many people in my field have been). I hold several degrees in philosophy, including a PhD from Princeton University. And yes, I subscribed years ago to SO, primarily because I liked the graphics Ben uses in his videos. Recently, since he started the "next-end-of-the-world" business, i.e., the micronova that he predicts is coming "soon", I've started looking at him, well, "suspiciously". A great deal of the people in his comment section are obviously frightened to death of that "future", and want detailed information as to when, exactly, that is going to happen. Ben never pins it down, except to say it will be somewhere in the near-future. I do not like being part of a doomsday cult. Thankfully, I've never contributed a cent to him. Right now, he is starting what can only be described as a "compound", in the desert southwest. Of course, many people have contributed great amounts of money to this effort. Based upon what I've seen, I believe that he knew that getting a law degree was a mistake, on his part. He needs to purchase multicolored robes and build a "Church of Ben" ... using other peoples' money, of course. Thank you for this video, Professor Dave. I have unsubscribed from his website, for when I asked him for the scientific data supporting his hypotheses, he merely suggested I watch his videos. I suspect that many of the downvotes on this video came from Observers. As an official "heretic", you can readily understand why I will continue to keep my location and true name secret.
    256
  252. Thanks! Dave, you deserve a trophy for getting through all 200 items of that stupidity. Thank you for making it somewhat tolerable.
    255
  253. U saved me from being a "flat earther "
    252
  254. And I'm back again after 2 years. I passed chemistry and biochemistry because of this brilliant man!
    252
  255. "You study how life formed?_Have you made life in a lab!?_" "you're a detective investigating a homicide? Did you do the murder again to prove it?" "You're an Abraham Lincoln biographer? Did you birth and raise an Abraham Lincoln?"
    252
  256. What makes Darwin the more remarkable is precisely that he crystallized the early concepts of natural selection on speciation and adaptation before the modern understanding of evolutionary biology and the molecular basis of genetics. In essence he described the machine and predicted it’s behavior before the hood was lifted.
    251
  257. I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR DAVE! 😂 ❀❀ Your a god's gift for chemistry majors! 😂😂😂
    249
  258. I have to comment on this video. This is by far, the most CLEAR, CONCISE, PERFECT explanation on aromaticity. You hit the mark on everything.
    248
  259. I read Dave's book no long ago. I really enjoyed it. I have to say that I'm egotistical enough that I thought I probably knew all the stuff in this book, but I wanted to see what other people didn't know. 😅 One thing I learned once again is that I'm not as smart as I think I am. I actually learned quite a bit about things I thought I already understood. And I learned it in an interesting way. I say I read, but actually I listened to the book (I have trouble with my sight recently), and I have to highly recommend the audiobook. Dave is the narrator and if you like his videos, you'll like the audiobook, as well. He knows exactly what needs emphasizing, which really adds to the experience.
    247
  260. most math channels on youtube spend like 25 minutes rambling before they get to the actual point, this dude always keeps it concise and straightforward and it boggles my mind how much easier it for me to learn with his vids than anyone else's. cheers mate
    246
  261. Guys, this person, Professor Dave, he is literally role model to me. He taught me chemistry, because of him I made it into the medical school, he teach me allways something new about biology and now I am getting perfect at Italian thanks to this amazing person, because Iam just part of Italian, living in Slovakia since childhood, so I really need to work harder to be proper "half" Italian. Thank you once again Professor Dave, you are one of the greatest person I know :)
    243
  262. When you were about to talk about ma boi Leo my blood boiled but then when you displayed his bs unravelling I finally admitted to myself he's a fraud who's gone off the deep end.
    242
  263. It's insane that he makes videos about so many different things and also uploads on a daily basis.
    241
  264. Thanks Dave, so sorry that this guy is an Aussie, we have our share of clowns here too. Appreciate all your content, not just these highly amusing and necessary debunks of broken grifters.
    240
  265. I'm a victim of religious extremism. My parents homeschooled me. They gave me books from Christian authors and told me mainstream science was evil. Some lies I was told were about evolution, being fake, and an excuse to mass genocide people. I was told this was a christian country and provided with a book called "America's providential history" which I found out isn't historically accurate. My parents kept me in fear of vaccines, the government, and I never got a high-school diploma when I "graduated" homeschool, cuz there's no standard. I was intentionally isolated from TV and people. My parents build a doomsday bunker in the middle of nowhere in Idaho. All this to say, this thought process of the extremely religious, harmed me. I never got a chance to go to college, and I'm only just now learing about biology, evolution, physics, etc,. Religious abuse ruins lives. You're doing a great thing, Dave. These people need to be called out. I wish that I'd had your videos when I was 12.
    238
  266. My boy Professor Dave coming to the rescue to an AP Chem teacher that doesn't know how to teach. Your explanation is amazing, it would be almost impossible for people to not understand.
    237
  267. Solution to the problem:                                                                                                                                                                                         r(x) x r(y) = < -2x,-2y,1>         del x F = <x,0,-z>,  (z = x^2 + y^2 --> -z = -(x^2 + y^2) = -x^2 - y^2)                                                               Integral: 0<x<2, 0<y<2     <-2x,-2y,1> (dot) <x,0,-(x^2 + y^2)> dx dy --> -2x^2 - (x^2 + y^2) dx dy = -2x^2 - x^2 - y^2 dx dy = -3x^2 - y^2 dx dy.  Would be helpful to first solve the integral in terms of dy instead of dx, this makes the solving a bit easier.hope it helps.
    237
  268. "Quite infuriating"? Man, you said it! I am a retired electrician who washed out of civil engineering because of calculus and specifically, trig identities. To this day, I have math books beside my bed, in the bathroom, in my car, etc. I really would like to get a grip on this stuff and it has turned into a kind of grudge match between the math and my little brain. I found your video very well presented -- not some guy scribbling illegibly at warp factor 9 -- and the content moves along at a rate where even an idiot like me can pause the screen and work through the material to catch up to you. Well done!
    236
  269. Thank you for making the Internet a less stupid place to hangout.
    234
  270. It is the hit before my big test and I’m studying and the same guy that helped me pass calculus last semester has chemistry tutorials as well! The profound genius that is professor Dave is unmatched.
    233
  271. Wow. Please change your name to “Professor Dave Saves the Day”. This will be the third class you’ve helped me study for. I don’t know what is about your videos, but they are seriously incredible for an advanced student with ADHD. I always brag on them and share them with peers.
    231
  272. Professor Dave you’ve helped me get through junior year as a biochemistry major, Anatomy and Organic Chem were my hardest classes. Thank you Professor Dave đŸ˜Šâ€ïž
    231
  273. Hi professor Dave, just wanna drop in and say thank you. I watched your tutorials to cram for my university joint entrance exam. I don't have the money for tutoring, but I managed to collect enough money to rent a home wifi so I can watch your videos among other things. Your videos are very concise, which I like. I managed to get accepted (to study mathematics) and your videos played a huge role in making that happen.
    231
  274. You're literally saving lives professor Dave.
    231
  275. You saved me from failing my physics quiz.
    230
  276. 3 years into my BS, Professor Dave is still the best teacher!
    228
  277. The most simple explanation that I have found on the entire Internet that explains Image and Kernel after searching for 2 weeks!! THANK A MILLION!!!!!!
    226
  278. As a biology major, you got me through biology, physics, and organic chemistry. I recently changed my major to psychology and now I couldn’t be more excited that you can guide me through my new classes! Thank you for all you do in making science fun and accessible!
    226
  279. Your empathy for Palestinians has made me determine you're a truly good person. Thank you Dave for all you do, and thank you for voicing support for the marginalized.
    225
  280. hello dear professor david. i have been a physics teacher for 23 years. i think you are a very good teacher. i wish you succes.
    223
  281. I like to think all the other con artists, creationists, etc, are mad at the globe busters. "This is your fault. You got him started on us. He was just quietly making his silly shill videos until you picked a fight. Now he's destroying us all!"
    223
  282. You should try explaining the Lorenz transformation for time dilation to one of these jokers, I had the misfortune of developing some of the early GPS end user software and the project was hampered by an electric universe manager. We were however successful and he was cured of his cult devotion but it was painful.
    219
  283. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to chat about genetics, Dave!
    218
  284. I'm a senior in college and I've been watching your videos since sophomore year. You sir are a lifesaver and a gradesaver.
    218
  285. Hi Dave, I just want to say I feel very strongly about what you are doing debunking all these crackpots. It means a lot to me on a very personal level. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Disinformation on the internet is a plague.
    217
  286. Came here from Khan Academy. Much clearer presentation than the current Khan Academy video on limiting reagents. Thank you so much!
    214
  287. James shouting Mr Farina will go down in history as one of the best YouTube memes of all time
    213
  288. Sir 'Professor Dave Explains', i just wanna let you know how grateful and lucky i am. watching your calculus video is enlightening. i am from philippines, currently out of school. i am doing some review on my math subjects before re-enrolling again. i am also a self learner, and thanks to you because i am on a great progress with calculus (self taught). i never learned it from the school, i learned it on your calculus videos and some old books. you saved me. im hoping that someday, if i happen to meet you in person, i have already achieved my dream of becoming a good mathematics teacher. Thank you so much sir.
    211
  289. no distraction, no stupid pictures, no , annoying background music. superb quality of contents, precise , no BS. perfect educational video
    211
  290. Hey chemistry jesus do you still read comments, give me a heart if you do..And thanks for the video
    210
  291. professor dave, you helped me through general chemistry 1 and 2 and organic chemistry and calculus 2 and physics mechanism, and now linear algebra. I am a heavy youtube learner, I never go to class I only learn by watching videos on youtube, and let me tell you, your videos are SERIOUSLY THE BEST in teaching the material, you are talented in teaching, you just make the material super easy for a 10 years old kid to understand. thank you.
    210
  292. Loving this astronomy series. I'm a 26 y/o high school educated military veteran that's starting to consider what I actually want to go to college for. So, thank you, Professor
    207
  293. This is like one of the best YouTube channels I have ever discover
    205
  294. Where have you been my whole life? At least you're here now when I need you most Chem Jesus.
    205
  295. 2020 - Still going strong! You the man, thank you for making OCHEM clear and understandable!! #DAT Prep
    205
  296. I almost cried out of happiness because I found your chanel
    204
  297. Carry on Sir. In a very short time, you always make the toughest the easiest one. Your lessons always inspire me. When I search any topics on Youtube & your tutorial appears before me, I became very excited to see yours 1stly. 😎 Take a bow 😍
    204
  298. I love you professor Dave, you know all about the science stuff and you made everything as easy as a piece of bologna sandwich â˜ș
    204
  299. Thanks! What a treat, Friday, wine in the cooler, a good evening meal waiting, and Professor Dave debunks the next Discovery Institute liar.
    203
  300. I'm a pharmacist and teach pharmacology and psychopharmacology. I'm impressed with your content here. I honestly can't find any errors in your content. Great job. 👍
    202
  301. You’ve cleared an entire semesters worth of work up for me in 10 minutes. Thank you so much!
    202
  302. you're honestly such a livesaver. i feel so lucky to have stumbled across one of your videos! keep it up man you're helping alot of people with these videos!
    202
  303. This channel is criminally underrated.
    201
  304. I love how you break everything down and your use of visuals. You have the best videos I have found to help me learn. THANK YOU!
    200
  305. I can almost hear the gray hairs Dave is getting responding to these two jackasses. Thank you Dave for subjecting yourself to this tripe for our entertainment and to expose these clowns for the charlatans they are!
    200
  306. Speaking of the relevancy and the quality of the information, THIS IS THE BEST EVER on the entire YouTube! Cheers, Dave!

  307. Bravo. Have a nice meal and a couple drinks on me, Dave. You earned it! Nicely done on this debate, given who you had to deal with. Intellectually dishonest "intellectuals" are the worst. You're doing important work here and with your channel. I'm a scientist and professor of neurosciences at UCSD School of Medicine. If you'd ever like to confer on any brain-related topics or just bullshit over coffee, let me know. Cheers!

  308. As a chemist with a PhD in physical chemistry, I just gotta hand it to you Dave, you've nailed all the same points I've tried to make to Tour's cult. We know his cult won't listen, but hopefully this gets through to those sitting in the middle of the debate. My biggest complaint about Tour's rhetoric (apart from the clear lies and dishonesty) is his insane criteria for OoL researchers. He has set up his rhetoric such that he can never lose (to the eyes of his scientifically illiterate cult). He can always point to one of two things: a) Dirty NMR b) Relay synthesis / purchasing reagents / doing chemistry in pure solutions / purification or isolation of intermediates He expects OoL researchers to do both--use crude mixtures at each step, and get clean NMR. He knows an organic chemist cannot achieve both in virtually all cases relevant to OoL. So he can almost always point to either of these, and then just pretend the rest of the paper is bunk.

  309. Yo, that segment from Simulated Sun was awesome! I had no idea Dave did music or anything like that, it sounds and looks great! I’m gonna get on that right after I watch the rest of this video. I just had to comment how awesome I thought it was, I’m surprised he doesn’t talk more about it or mention it more often, or maybe I’m just oblivious and have never noticed.
    195
  310. Dave, I'm a big fan of Sciman Dan and his videos that debunk the flat earth conspiracy. I can't remember how I got directed to your video but I'm glad I was able to see it. Your video was just a perfect rebuttal and one of the best flat earth debunking videos I've ever seen. Great job! You've just gained another like as well as another subscriber.
    192
  311. I want to cry with joy at how easily you explained this, thank you for alleviating a huge frustration!!!
    192
  312. I can't believe people like u still exist.....you are a very hardworking person that motivates me the most....be healthy and stay safe professor dave.
    192
  313. Hey professor Dave! you are my hero and I would love to be as cool as you someday. It tickles me the way you combat flat eathers while also helping me learn the material my engineering professors can not. You have made my school life much better since i have stumbled upon your videos and i can not thank you enough. Please keep up what you are doing and know that you are a more than a professor you are a HERO!
    192
  314. It's truly impressive how well Professor Dave was able to maintain his composure in that environment. I'm glad he had the courage to do this. I was once one who was "reassured" by idiotic arguments similar to Tour's that I accepted uncritically, forcefully silencing my own doubts in favor of the fairytales I desperately needed to be true. Happy to say that's no longer true of me thanks to content such as this. Keep it up Dave!
    192
  315. I was never taught like this in school because even our teachers didn't know all these. We directly started with dy/dx without understanding what they mean. Thanks professor Dave. I'm a software application design architect since a couple years and still watching this now
    191
  316. A must watch Calculus series for all who are studying this subject. Clear presentation that includes organized content in a textbook format with intelligent, concise and step by step explanation of concepts and worked out examples. I enjoy learning from these videos. Thanks.
    191
  317. Second year med school student here. I always try to find errors in your biology videos but usually there are none. Same goes for this one. Good work!
    190
  318. You are incredible. Some feedback: I love how you speak clearly and slowly. You pause at the best times so that we can process and take notes. You explicitly explain not only the process, but WHY and HOW this all makes mathematical sense. Thank you so much. My AP Calc teacher is amazing, she really is. It's just that after a long day at school it is hard to remember and process everything. I view this as a supplement to my learning process in Calculus (one of my favorite classes)
    189
  319. I look forward to the day that YouTube is authorized to distribute academic awards to awesome teachers for awesome content.
    189
  320. Damnit. This series isn't receiving nearly enough attention. Dave has put together one of the most excellent astronomy series' ever made (I've seen A LOT!) and hardly anybody is watching it. This saddens me deeply. Honestly, Dave's knack for making complex subject matter incredibly easy to grasp & understand... I'd love to see some of his work make it into classrooms. If it were up to me, his entire channel would be required viewing. We'd have a lot fewer "flat-earther" buffoons running around, for one.
    187
  321. you have gotten me through my chem and math exams. I don't know what it is about your vids, but they're just so clear. Like when I'm struggling with something I always check for your vids first
    186
  322. Hey Dave, I’ve watched you for(I believe) around 2 1/2 years now. I discovered you in my freshman year of high school toward the end of first quarter when I was really struggling with Physics, which I eventually passed because of your videos. In fact, thats not the only class you’ve helped me through; so far you’ve helped me get through Physics, Biology, and now you’re helping me through Chemistry. Having ADHD, providing the information in distinct, easy-to-follow videos as opposed to a textbook was very helpful. You’ve become my go-to when it comes to learning all-things science without having to read through a high school textbook. I probably have an entire notebook’s worth of reference just from the notes that I’ve taken on your videos alone(though the notes are a bit disorganized and, quite literally, all over the place; I don’t tend to keep them all in one spot). I’ve even recently started on your series on Economics in my spare time because I’m doing well enough in my other classes to take on more. Even if we set aside the fact that you are single-handedly leading me through high school, you’re an amazing content creator. I’ve probably watched your demolition of anti-science hacks about a million times. I’ve done my best to watch through most of your debates, though some of your opponents tended to talk over you and repeat themselves over and over to the point where I grow bored because I can refute some of their claims myself. I even have a tradition where, whenever you release a new Debunks/Debates/Discussions video, I go the stove, boil some water, and make a nice bowl of ramen noodles for myself to eat while I watch the video. I’ve even started using your stuff in my debate club, especially against people who think like Creationists and Flerfs. I’ve seen one or two minds change after I’ve linked your content. I eventually found myself using your mannerisms and tone during debates, which is honestly great, because if I’m wrong about something, it hits a lot harder and I actually learn from the experience. Another thing I’ve learned from you: if mistakes are made obvious for all to see, there is a greater incentive to correct them. Thanks for making my high school so much easier, thanks for giving me something entertaining on a normal basis, and thanks for even helping me change a few minds. Stay awesome.
    185
  323. Before watching : I know nothing about calculus After watching : Wow, learning becomes easy when the tutor is amazing
    184
  324. Outstanding video and explanation! I did a PhD in organic chemistry many years ago and I'm now in my 9th year of secondary teaching, planning an A-level lesson - Wow do I wish your videos were around when I was at Uni!
    183
  325. While this video was made months ago, I know that Dave still replies to the morons in the comments who sputter and mumble about how the Earth is still flat. It warms my cold dead heart to see comments from only hours ago completely destroyed by Dave's replies. We all need entertainment in times like these and seeing fools getting absolutely blown out of the water by basic knowledge and empirical science is not only amusing to me but inspiring as well. Dave, you're a champion, you're a great teacher and since I know you're seeing this, I hope you have a merry christmas and an absolutely fantastic new year. Have a good one, from down under, mate!
    181
  326. as a second year pharmacy student, I really thank you for all of your organic chemistry videos and these, keep them up
    181
  327. Always a great show, Dave. Its wild how these people can exist in the 21st century, especially ones as loud and ignant as this guy. Every time he spoke my head was swimming, and I wasn't even drinking along. đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«
    180
  328. I'm a hobby (astro)physicist but psychologist by trade and I thought of a psychological model to go with the flat earth society and why it is so much more prevalent in very meritocratic societies - i.e. the USA. A large part of US culture is Calvinistic in essence saying with hard work come more blessings. This translates into the "American Dream" where anyone can become anything regardless of heritage only depending on their own talents and efforts. Unfortunately this also puts a lot of blame on those who, well, don't get very far on the social hierarchy. The mind is wonderful at compensating for negative thoughts and emotions, rationalising them away unconsciously in amazing ways. My hypothesis is now, that most flat earth followers are a special type of narcissist personality who fail to reach a societal level they think they deserve. You can then either reevaluate your self-image (which is painful) or you re-evaluate society. By subscribing to a conspiracy theory you not only elevate yourself to an elitist, enlightened level only attained by few, you also simultaneously degrade every person that you previously had to "look up to", e.g. academics, politicians and "smarter" people. Furthermore, you find others with exactly the same mindset and company is always good. That is also the reason why challenging any flat earth follower with rational arguments will most likely amount to nothing, because following your logic they would have to challenge their self-image and re-evaluate their social standing. And the unscientific part of me relishes the thought of a perfect trap where you either have to get down to the bottom with your argumentation or admit you fit into the diagnosis of an anti-authoritarian narcissist... But that is really just a side note.

  329. Virgin Flat-Earthers: - Demonstrate with numerous flawed models that don't fit reality, contradict each other, or just don't make any sense. - Use big words to look and sound smart but ultimately don't understand most of what they're even talking about. - Reject any form of proof provided to them either because they can't understand it or don't want to admit being wrong. - Sometimes use cheap tactics like name-calling, profanity, or condescension to get a rise out of their opponents. - Have questionable educational background if any. - Struggle to disprove firmly established scientific facts. Chad Professor Dave: + Defends his points and destroys theirs with facts and sensible explanation. + Does not require two-bit words in discussion because he knows what he's talking about. + Takes the "proof" he's given, actually studies it, and ultimately disassembles it like the bootleg Jenga tower it is. + Is an absolute sir. + Has an abundance of proof in his videos regarding the legitimacy of his intelligence, knowledge, and credibility. + Has an epic color Beatles poster.
    179
  330. I know I'm biased, but, THIS WILL BE THE BEST ECONOMICS SERIES EVER.
    176
  331. Prof Dave, thank you so so much! You literally helped me survive my first year of engineering (calculus, chemistry, and physics) and now I'm back for my second year! Your visuals are so amazing and they make everything super easy to understand!! I just want to let you know that you're doing amazing work and we stem students appreciate you so much!
    176
  332. You just saved me another panic headache. You explain things so well, even my engineer of a father recommended you over his own explanations. Thanks a lot!
    175
  333. Thank you, Professor Dave! It was a pleasure chatting with you. I think you're a true hero doing work that's vitally important.
    174
  334. Best 10 minutes and 56 seconds of my life. Such a clear explanation!
    173
  335. Professor Dave, I've only watched a few of your videos but I have to say, thank you! I guarantee you that many formerly (myself included) homeschooled, religiously indoctrinated kids benefit greatly from you and people like you. So many people don't seem to realize that there are many kids who are being brainwashed into ID/Young Earth Creationism. They don't realize it, so they don't think it's important to go after the Tours and Hovinds of the world. Much love and respect ❀
    172
  336. My man Dave is about to hit 1 Million subs in the next few weeks. Educating people around the world. So proud of him.
    172
  337. I know this is such an old video. I watch everything, and saw this again, and this iamLucis' s video continues to be the most INFURIATING piece of content I've seen. I keep up with Standing for Truth, Answers in Genisis, Raw Matt, Erica, and you, Dave, and it goes on. I have a 15 year old. He and his friend group are all science-minded, very intellectual, invested in knowledge, worldly, ect. I'm not trying to brag AT ALL. My point is, I know he and his peers are inundated with simple content like this and some of them don't have the background to know "this dude is bullshit." They just don't! And we live in Metropolitan DC! What is happening outside of the "intellectual elite strongholds?" And people get plugged into channels like this, and subsequently "suggested" even MORE content like this, and it fucking terrifies me! IamLucid has this swagger that appeals to young people and fits in the platforms, The way he states things as fact - so simplified, taken out of context or just entirely misrepresented in a way that "makes sense" is terrifying. It essentially regurgitates words and concepts that many people SOMEWHAT recall, but never truly understood even during HS science. "Yup, I know those words, and the scientist, intellectual elite is using that to indoctrination me and make me think things and do things that infringe on MY rights." And our educational system ((de-)funded by individuals that want the population to become less educated so they can have greater control) is effectively working. I am so demoralized! I appreciate that you do what you do and I love that you have developed this platform that is reaching millions of people. I still despair that we are reaching such a small percentage of the population. You are doing God's work! (OMG, don't kill me, that was the worst joke ever). I have to believe that there is a quantity of this new generation that will overwhelm the current zeitgeist in about 20 years. My greatest fear is the possibility of the EXACT opposite. What have I brought a human being into? I feel terrified at times, and so guilty. We are in a tailspin. Not just America, honestly. We're the worst currently, but I see it everywhere now. Thank you for your work. Not just de-bunking, but particularly your educational content. You have a beautiful talent for scientific education. You are much appreciated by many of us!
    170
  338. Back in my teens I was a Christian who was extremely interested in Christian apologetics. Now in that one video where you classify them, you spoke of a least unscientific kind- still unscientific, just less so than the dudes believing in Young Earth and all that nonsense. I was that kind of guy. Mostly because I come from a European Orthodox millieu that never had much of a problem with science in comparison to American protestants, in a post-socialist country where scientists are all but idolized. It was the philosophical arguments I believed were the only legitimate venue for genuine Christian apologetics. Now, when I am an atheist, I can't wait to watch you tear through that notion and see if I arrived at some of the points you mention during my deconversion. Btw, you played a massive role in that as well as educating me a great deal in the natural sciences that were largely left behind during my humanities focused education. I can't thank you enough for that.

  339. Breaking News: YouTuber puts all of the country's Calculus teachers out of business!
    170
  340. Hey Dave, long time viewer. I know this won't get a reply since I'm not some insane rambling idiot, but I appreciate you man. Every video of yours, I see you taking time out of your day and interacting with comments for videos over a year old. Gotta love your dedication to calling out stupidity and pushing critical thinking. Hope your weekend is good man
    168
  341. I know you wont respond to this Dave, and I dont intend for you to do so. However, I do see you responding to negative comments frequently, so I assume you read every comment. I just want to tell you what a huge inspiration you are for me and how much I enjoy your content. Thanks for all the high quality, educational videos. Continue your amazing work.
    168
  342. These videos are excellent. He's so good at condensing all the information together in a way that doesn't overwhelm you. He gets right to the point -- no fluff, but somehow also gives enough details for it to all make sense. He's got a real gift for communication!
    167
  343. Please never stop doing this work. I grew up in a YEC echo chamber and y’all have helped me break out of it! Y’all are awesome!
    165
  344. The funniest part in all this is how they have an entire board who has to discuss how to manage your interactions with these jackasses, and you're just this guy. It's hilarious. James rants and raves against your calm, clear demonstrations, the "institute" discusses how to manage fallout, and you're just doing your job, debunking this nutjob as a hobby. It's fun. Also, how does one go about "bowing my knee"? Weird.
    164
  345. Tour: "Show me water sticking to a spinning ball! Show me, Dave! You can't do it, can you?! Come up here and show me how water sticks to a spinning ball!" Dave: "My paper shows how gravity works and how the experiment you're asking me to show you is not possible unless we have an earth sized ball to spin, and how we are not actually spinning at thousands of miles an hour like you claim (and why it is silly to say people should be being flung off the planet at such speeds)" Tour: Come up here and show me the water on the spinning ball!! You can't do it!! Gravity is just a theory! There is no consensus on gravity! You are CLUELESS!".
    164
  346. Thank you very much for the video, I'm using this method in my organic chemistry lab. but most explanations went much more in depth than I needed and I had harder time understanding how this process worked than was necessary. This helped me quite a bit.
    163
  347. I cannot stress enough how vital your videos have been to my comprehension of a variety of chemistry concepts. Thank you so much, Professor Dave.
    162
  348. Professor Dave, you have to be one of, if not my number one, favorite channel on YouTube. Unlike some others, I haven't specifically used your videos to pass courses or achieve similar academic success, but rather, as a huge fan of science, it is my utmost pleasure to watch your academic tutorials simply to expand my knowledge and understand more about the world I reside in. You are an excellent teacher; your videos are marvelous at breaking down complex concepts and maximizing the degree to which those concepts can be simply understood by even the average layperson. Meanwhile, your debunks are extremely entertaining to watch and are a very respectable and dare I say successful effort to increase public scientific literacy by exposing the grifters and charlatans that are gaining an unfortunate amount of influence in the modern world. Your channel has inspired me to great lengths and I'm so glad someone like you exists, a man who is willing to put this much work into educating the world. Thank you.
    162
  349. So far I've had 2 Chem teachers for intro chem to science majors. My first teacher had ZERO language precision and my second teacher talks waaaaay too much and takes way too long to explain everything/anything. Professor Dave is very precise with his language and very concise with his content. In a world where Tik Tok, Insta, Reddit and Facebook ruin your attention span the hero we always needed is Professor Dave. If you ever read these comments I want you to know: You're gonna do a lot of good in this world with your videos Professor Dave. I will petition my college to have you come as our commencement speaker once Covid Season is past us. Keep at it. You're the real MVP.
    161
  350. I applaud you for this video. It's one of your finest works.
    161
  351. I love you, Professor Dave. I was teaching face-to-face classes with pencil-and-paper homework, just like back in the day, when suddenly, due to Covid-19, my classes are all online. I can make reasonably good math instructional videos, but not fast enough to keep up with four different courses in real time. I've been wandering YouTube looking for good math videos to fit my learning objectives. This one is great. Thank you. --Professor Lisa.
    160
  352. I've been following him for a while, but something was always bothering me at the back of my mind. Not going to hide, I have a huge interest in the electric universe and that is how I found him. But I figured he was a scammer when he started fear mongering about his diseaster zones. I called him out a few times and he responded with anger and later would delete his response. Anyway, his latest video about the sun changing color finally made me Google, "suspicious observers debunked" and that is how I found you. Excellent video by the way. Thank you.
    160
  353. Swear to god I've had 5 lectures of this and i think this is the most complicated shit. Watch your video and I'm not confused at all. Super easy. Heaven sent.
    160
  354. another dismantling of a liar. appreciate you dude!
    159
  355. Thanks Dave. It is mind-numbing how rampant the stupidity has become. We watched your videos on cellular respiration in class today. Thanks for being a resource for science educators. I don’t have your level of patience with this crap.
    159
  356. I send all of my medical students to your channel for basic science review. But I have to say...If you can sum up all the disinformation you've heard about vaccines in a 30 minute video, you haven't heard very many or you deserve a Nobel prize. :)
    159
  357. I got pretty heavy into Leo Gura when I was a bit younger, and I'll have to say some of his stuff was really good. What I liked about him was that he always stressed the importance of being truthful to yourself and others, and that he introduced me to moral relativism, what the meaning of integrity was, what healthy relationships are supposed to look like etc. He stressed the importance of doing your own spiritual work, thinking for yourself, and being kind and loving to yourself and others. But his stuff on Quantum mechanics, and his tendency to deny science and glorify death really messed me up when I was about 20-21 years of age. I did tons of psychedelics back then, and tried DMT for the first time. All while I was surrounded by people who were really not good for me. I developed Borderline Personality Disorder, tried to take my own life and still struggle with thoughts of suicide quite often. I can no longer stomach much of his newer content, though some of it was pretty interesting It's just too much to listen to him put himself on a pedastal and continually stress the importance of "going deeper". I still believe "consciousness" is a thing that can be tuned up, I still believe in a Spinoza's kind of god, but I also love science and I'm grateful for what science/scientists have done and continue to do. I don't care for magic or chakras or crystals, I never really cared for buddhism either, and I don't think life has any inherent meaning. I just think we all make our own meaning and because I don't want to drive myself bat shit insane I take what he says with a grain of salt these days. Grateful for a fresh perspective from you Professor Dave.
    159
  358. Professor dave i have had two professors explain this to me and your explanation was the only one that actually made it into my head. Thank you!
    159
  359. Going through the entire playlist from start to finish has really given me perspective. While from our perspective the modern times may seem much more turbulent than the past, going through the presidencies, adressing each one with the same, admittadely short format, shows both how the political game has evolved from the days of nobility and imperialism to the days of corporate oligarchies, as well as how similar it remained throughout, with divisions, personal conflicts and temperaments all coming together to influence the political landscape. I apreciate the work you've put into this, and await the next episode 3 years from now.
    158
  360. My professor NEVER said the OR's had to match when we were doing this in class. That kind of upsets me about that. This is actually very useful information. Thanks
    157
  361. Dude, your content is stellar!
    157
  362. Of all the wonderful channels like FTFE and Sci-man Dan, you are the most eloquent, concise and informative.
    155
  363. Wow, I'm just so glad you're doing more than just a conceptual course on quantum mechanics and as always your video's crystal clear and high quality. Thank you so much for what you do for all of us learners and I'm waiting for more.
    155
  364. You could rename your channel "Professor Dave saves your grade in Ochem (or any other subject)" and I don't think anyone would be mad.
    154
  365. Professor Dave>Crash course
    153
  366. I'm a visual learner, and these videos are SOOOOOOO helpful! Now I'm not as nervous about messing up in lab!
    152
  367. Professor Dave WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY PLAYLISTS??? I've been watching for like three months now and I'm still like barely halfway through your educational content You're a freaking machine man
    151
  368. My professor uploaded 120 minutes of lectures about NMR, yet you managed to explain it much better and in a more clear way in just 14 minutes. Thank you Professor Dave đŸ„ș
    151
  369. Hey Professor Dave. first time viewer, was just passing through. I used to teach at University. good video! impressed by two things #1 your overall presentation has a strong "tightness." no unnecessary audio or visual; the student can focus. #2 you gave the students an exercise! bravo [ claps ] .. so rare that people remember that they are talking to a human being, and that there may actually be a learning outcome LOL
    151
  370. Appreciate you calling out these charlatans and knuckleheads.
    150
  371. I’m not kidding when I say you are the SINGLE GREATEST SCIENCE TEACHER OF ALL TIME I’m in respiratory Therapy school and each and every one of your videos from gen Chem to Anatomy has been The sole reason why I’m getting As From the animations to complex ideas made simple....you sir are a genius People like you make this world more intellectual , scientific, and above all better I’m not religious but god bless you professor Dave!!!
    150
  372. Actually he's correct, the DNA polymerase III moves in a direction of 3'- 5' of the preexisting strand. However, the new strand that's being synthesized is 5'-'3. The video is crystal clear .
    149
  373. Everything i search about on youtube, professor Dave has answers for it. ❀
    149
  374. Hey Dave! I’m doing my PhD in chemistry right now and just wanted to say that I really like this type of lower effort video! You’re literally my thoughts out loud whenever I watch this kind of anti evolution crap. Keep it up!! ❀
    149
  375. Phenomenal work. These guys are unrepentant liars and frauds attempting to undermine science communication. Your evisceration of them is skilful and entirely warranted. Also, I learn a lot watching your material - thank you.
    149
  376. This channel is literally the essence of my college existence
    148
  377. Ur a beast...much better at explaining this concept than my teacher.
    146
  378. Thanks. Keep up your educational videos and care for truth. Kudos
    146
  379. Showing this to my students tomorrow. Very well explained. Just Subscribed.
    145
  380. I'm a bit ashamed to admit I still believed some of these things.. My family was really into The Secret, crystals, auras, and I thought I had moved away from it, but turns out I accepted a lot as real science, like the double slit experiment showing everything is a construct, vibrational frequencies, sacred geometry, etc. Gosh, it's so stupid and dangerous now that you actually break it down. The way you describe it as a secular religion shook me a bit. So thanks, keep doing these videos.
    145
  381. This is the best explanation I’ve found thank you so much!
    144
  382. You are truly a life saver. You helped me through organic chemistry and now linear algebra. I wish u were my prof👑
    144
  383. This is probably the best explanation of the distributive property I have ever heard.
    144
  384. The man who carried me through AP chem. Congrats on a million you earned it! You have no idea how many tests I passed because of you!
    142
  385. Someday, our descendants will casually look back at this wacky period in human history. It'll just be a paragraph or two in a high school history textbook, like the Salem Witch Trials or the Second Great Awakening. Most future people will never know just how weird it was to live through this, just as we don't fully grasp what Salem was like for those who experienced it.
    142
  386. The "Doctor" Tour fallacy: Premise 1: AHHHHHH!!! Premise 2: MR. FARINA Conclusion: CLUELESS!
    142
  387. You single handedly made me not only pass but EXCEL in my biology 101 class. Thank you professor dave
    141
  388. I've watched this whole series from the beginning and, as of this video, have surpassed all the mathematics I ever learned in high school. I always assumed this stuff would be out-of-reach for the rest of my life, but here I am at the age of 30 looking forward to trig and calculus. Thank you, Professor Dave!
    140
  389. This. Just this. Thank you for making videos like this, to help ordinary people not well versed in scientific theories or laws that help explain the natural world to defend themselves when faced with morons and nutjobs who have "convincing" arguments that pray on the naive and feeble minded. Your work must continue. The sake of future generations may depend on it if this flat earth nonsense continues to spread
    138
  390. I love how organized this lesson was. Thank you for the clear and informative video, I loved it.
    138
  391. Keep up this important work. We're squarely in a fight for facts versus ignorance now. Hope you're well, man. ☀
    137
  392. Brother, you are not getting enough views for your videos,but that doesn't change the fact that you are one of the top teacher/explainer/YouTuber on earth. Thanks for video
    137
  393. Just ended subscription to his app and YouTube channel after seeing that letter!!
    137
  394. Professor Dave has helped me recover from religious abuse. So thank you, Professor Dave
    136
  395. You helped me pass genetics and O. chem the second time around. Now here I am drowning in physics and I find out you teach that too... BLESS YOU PROFESSOR DAVE :')
    136
  396. Best explanation someone has every given to me about cell signal...Thank you so much professor dave
    135
  397. I was friends with Jonathan on Facebook for a while (might have been 7 or 8 years since our last interaction) and had numerous actual debates with him about ID, IC, etc. While I do not believe him to be a fraud, his tactics for debating have not changed. He is so invested in his assumptions about the existence of God and his role in creation that he regularly ignored major points I made and focused only points he thought he could win. His biological knowledge does not seem to have advanced much. He never got close to winning any of our debates and they typically ended when he would insist that the Bible be treated as strong historical evidence. I would reject that because it is clearly a political document created by the Catholic Church. That would create an insurmountable impasse. He once sent me a very lengthy document he wrote arguing for a historical Jesus. I very boring, heavily biased work that I could make a quarter of the way through.
    134
  398. Looked through several videos describing Gram-Schmidt and this was the most clear, thank you!
    134
  399. I'm so thankful that I took the time to challenge my beliefs and watch videos like this. I have heard all of the arguments made by people like James and I finally just decided I should actually research it. Crazy how wrong the church is and I literally had a pastor tell me don't seek education, seek faith. That was when I realized I should definitely seek education and learn the truth. Your channel really helped me with this.
    134
  400. This man is so horrendously overlooked and ignored. At this point of popularity most people would scare gullible viewers with clickbait but not this guy.
    133
  401. Yes!! Thanks my friend for this huge opportunity. I really appreciate you and keep learning from you. Keep it nerd!
    133
  402. This is waaaaaaay less harder than i remembered, not sure if it has something to do with motivation or simply maturity. Regardless once again, cheers for the video!
    132
  403. I could listen to Dave all day, I even watch his Italian grammar videos. I wish he did English grammar videos too. He has such an easy voice. And, FE busting is the best topping on the cake. I watch all (Now 3) of them over and over. Thanks Dave.
    131
  404. I can’t click on these videos fast enough Dave! On another note, I’ve been reading your book, “Is This WiFi Organic?”, and it’s excellent - you did a great job of compressing really complex chemistry and science so it’s much more accessible so we can call out pseudo science BS like this.
    131
  405. You inspired me to study science prof d!
    131
  406. Professor Dave over here saving my Calc grade.
    130
  407. I have seen this video many, many times and I must say it is hands down the best explanation of implicit differentiation that I have seen. I hope to use this explanation when I am able to teach Calculus one day!
    130
  408. Couldn't focus on reading this in the book because it was confusing but this helped a ton!!! Have my lecture exam next Thursday!
    130
  409. I told everyone in my oc class about you every single of them are learning with your videos now :D
    128
  410. Came for the flat earth wreckage, stayed for my Master's degree.
    128
  411. Thanks! Thank you for making feel like I’m not insane . My family is very much in this group, but not to be mean , they are too stupid to understand any of this . They aren’t trying to be cruel they literally are not able to understand, I’ve kind of just given up .
    127
  412. I just wanted to take the time to genuinely thank you sincerely. For the past 2 weeks in my physics class I have been extremely lost, and your video helped me apprehend the necessary conceptions. Thank you so much.
    126
  413. Professor Dave = BRILLIANT presenter. Your clarity is unmatched in the realm of YT Science channel.
    126
  414. EVERYONE who sees and benefits from this man should donate to his patreon. His back must hurt for carrying all our grades!
    125
  415. Dave, I am a doctor in geology and have been following your content for a while. Your videos are really good and I wish more kids would watch them, especially the anti-science people. Continue to do this very good job.
    125
  416. Meteorologist by degree here. This video is worth its weight in gold. You just summarized my degree in minutes and 100% accurate
    125
  417. Hey, Dave, I Just wanted to say thanks for this information. As an evangelical Christian, I was taught about the literal creation of the earth in six days by God in both school and church. Just wanted to let you know that some of us do listen. I now see Genesis as a religious rebuttal of the pagan worldview of its day, starting briefly with the Babylonians and then the Egyptians. Keep up the good work!
    124
  418. Once again, Professor Dave pulls through with the best, clearest, and shortest video on the topic.
    123
  419. Totally cleared things up, my Anatomy and Physiology prof couldn't teach this well in the hour and 15 minutes I spend in that class.
    123
  420. I absolutely love the diversity of the content on this channel. There’s history, economics, chemistry, biology, and even conspiracy theory debunking. Hope the future is great for you.
    122
  421. "In medical imaging, the acquired data typically constitutes a very large percentage of the final image" Yeah, that's easy to do when the thing you're imaging is 50 cm away and in front of a lead surface that prevents any extraneous radiation from entering the detector. Try pointing your MRI at another galaxy and see how clear an image you get.
    122
  422. Just a small token of appreciation for insisting that we all keep our critical thinking caps pulled down tight on our heads. Luv and hugs from KC
    122
  423. Thank you for defending science, Dave!
    121
  424. Dear Globebusters, feigned incredulity does not a cogent rebuttal make. Guffawing, chortling, and tittering whilst stringing together a word-salad of scientific terms does not carry the day in any debate. The fools that follow your claptrap may giggle along with you but in the end you are just buffoons and harlequins that have no real answers for any real questions, hence the aforementioned feigned incredulity. Professor Dave calmly disemboweled you and your foolish "arguments" for all the world to see.
    121
  425. My absolute favourite past time is coming to your debunk videos, clicking "newest first" and watching you destroy some absolute crackpots. - A physics PhD student who is eternally grateful for your chemistry content, it's honestly helped me so much.
    119
  426. I'd love to see a video about SARS/CoV2. There's been so much noise on social media about it, especially from hucksters who are trying to get their fifteen minutes of fame and not satisfied, wanted a little more time in the limelight.
    119
  427. Just being introspective here, but it saddens me to know that I have uttered these exact talking points with sincerity. Thank you to Professor Dave and other Science communicators for teaching me how stupid Christianity made me sound
    119
  428. Thank you for continuing to take these clowns to school. Here’s $10 to keep it going.
    118
  429. Nicely done Dave. Yes Bob is an absolute fraud. He posted on my channel when I only had a few hundred subs claiming to be a commercial pilot with a multi engine rating. A quick check with the FAA and I knew he was lying. Interestingly any time I ask one of the FEIC speakers if they knew Bob was lying not one of them denies or tries to refute it. They know they can't as he was caught red handed. PS - The Earth is a globe. Our flight plans factor in the curve.
    118
  430. More money than Subboor will ever give you (probably). Thank you for doing what you do!
    118
  431. Congratulations on your success and 10 years, Dave. You've given me a great great deal of entertainment and knowledge over the years. I don't think it'd be inaccurate to say you've been a very influential figure in my life throughout my later teen years. I'm 23 now, and without this channel it would undoubtedly feel as if something was missing. I hope your music hits it off just as well man.
    118
  432.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I know! It doesn’t feel real sometimes. I don’t remember which video of yours it was, but I grew up in a very science-denying Christian family, and one of your videos made me think, “Huh. I want to become an expert on how this works.”
    117
  433. Professor Dave, I always enjoy watch your YouTube videos and admire you for working so hard to educate others. Big Thanks!
    117
  434. Dave, coming from someone who almost went down the whole anti-establishment, Jesus freak, anti-science rabbit hole when I was in a vulnerable place in my life, watching your videos really slapped me in the face with reality. And watching you debate Dr. Tour and the DI, puts a smile on my face because these are the people that take advantage of people that were in the same place I was.
    116
  435. I just want you to know that your videos are literally the only things that have helped me get through organic chemistry. So thank you!
    116
  436. It's really interesting to see how James Tour just... collapsed. I'm pretty sure Dave didn't target him because he thought he was a weak link or anything. If anything, he was the most credible and useful part of the Discovery Institute. But oh my god this guy has just fallen into a pile of rubble. Look at him SHAKE here. He's fuming! He can't handle this sort of thing, he can't handle a challenge to his authority but doesn't actually know how to re-assert himself in an authoritative way. Instead he's reduced to red-faced, limb-shaking shouting and theatrics. Insinuating that because Dave "prepared" for a "discussion" means he's fucking cheating or something, when he's an academic, a CHEMIST, and has to know that you can't possibly expect someone to be able to write down a whole biological pathway on the board in, like, 15 seconds, or a full chemical reaction. That's the kind of cheap shit that only works on people who've never seen any actual scientific primary literature. I don't mean 'laypeople' or anything like that either, I mean that they've never looked at a paper before and went "oh, shit, this is pretty serious huh?" You know, the kind of arrogantly ignorant people that are Flat Earthers, Electric Universers, or Creationists. Dave having the arduous task of explaining a complicated field to an audience primed to ignore him while a bad faith demagogue undermines him should have made this way rougher than it was. Instead, he made the poster boy of a multi-million dollar propaganda outlet look like a rank amateur. Tour is obviously unfit for the task, but Dave really deserves some credit for making Tour lose his cool when his entire plan was to frustrate Dave via annoying internet debate-bro tactics.
    116
  437. That is probably the best explanation on Newman Projections ever. I understood the subject in less than 15 minutes otherwise I'd probably spent at least 2-3 hrs to understand whats going on. Big thanks as always Prof. Dave!
    116
  438. thank God I finally found a person who can explain this clearly so I can understand!! thank you I really appreciate it.
    115
  439. I dont know how to send you a private message, so ima just comment. Professor Dave, you have changed my life for the better! i was never a religious person, nor a flat earther or any other bullshit belive. I just wanna say that your videos has motivated me to learn and study! Knowledge is power. knowledge is cool! Thank you for your awesome videos! - Rad from Norway!
    115
  440. You’re a savior in med school
    114
  441. It's almost 1 am I have my chemistry final exam tomorrow and I've been watching your videos all the afternoon and I have learned more with 5 MINUTE VIDEOS than with MONTHS of chemistry classes. Thank you so much and keep going cause I'm starving for new ones hahahaha
    113
  442. Such an amazing and entertaining group of science proponents. You guys are awesome.
    112
  443. Literally brought a tear to my eye, so well done. Seriously!
    112
  444. I gotta say thank you man, I was starting to fall for some of that EU stuff, and your last video gave me plenty to look into, and I came to the same realization as you did... EU is just as bad a FE~<3
    111
  445. Prof Dave, this series is incredible. I'm in the process of returning to school, and I needed a bunch math through calculus for prerequisites into my desired program. My highest prior math class was algebra. Crunched for time (somewhat), I knew I could test into at least trig just by using this math series of yours. Well guess what? I tested right into calculus. Cannot tell you how pumped I am and how awesome your channel is! I bought a Prof Dave Explains T-shirt and wear it all the time, haha. Love that shirt! Thank you so much. Keep crushing it.
    110
  446. Professor Dave, I kid you not your videos helped me graduate from nursing school. And I became a nurse thanks to you, I will definitely be purchasing your book as a thank you.
    108
  447. This video series has been so important Dave. As a recovered young earth creationist myself, I can see the cartwheels his brain must be doing to deal with the raw, unadulterated cognitive dissonance that you just created. It’s men like him that made my prior brainwashing effective in me. I appreciate what you’ve done to give such a thorough and brutal response. It still helps to see this, even today, more than 18 years since I turned away from fundamentalism. Thank you. Keep it up. I might just find a way to view that debate live, if that ever happens.
    108
  448. Your lectures are a life saver!! Keep ‘em coming!! Thank you!
    108
  449. Been saving my grade since g12. I'm already on my 2nd year college. You doing good man.
    107
  450. I spent several years actively debunking Intelligent Design; and regretfully, the most important thing I learned from that process is that arguing via actual science is a failed venture. The problem is ID, and in this case, Flat Earth believers are troubled by insecurity about their own place in the universe, a lack of critical curiosity, and have anxiety about the complex world. It's a very self-centered emotional position. Until one can address those three emotional issues, science has no value (or more likely, an antagonistic value) to their needs. Clinging on to a simplistic idea about the Universe makes them feel safe and somewhat in control. "Complex" science doesn't do that for them.
    107
  451. Globebuster's Bob's legacy will be the flat earther that proved the earth to be round, globally.
    107
  452. I found this channel in my freshman chemistry class because the chemistry classes provided to electrical engineers sucks here and now as I'm about to graduate I'm still leaning on this man for education lol
    107
  453. Getting ready for the MCAT exam. Your videos are THE BEST on youtube for all of ochem and gen chem material! Thank you so much!
    107
  454. Fantastic graphics! I've been looking for videos for my classroom, and not only are you terrific at explaining things, but you go at a nice pace. Great job!
    106
  455. Your debate with Dr. Tour was a major factor in what finally pulled me out of a creationist mindset and exposed a lot of dishonesty in those kind of apologetics. It helped me start researching fields of science I never knew about and got me to learn about logical fallacies. Also what is your favorite kind of cheese?
    106
  456. Your channel has been incredibly helpful both for my university studies and convincing my skeptical father of the validity of evolution. He was really into Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute, said stuff like "there's no proof for animals being able to change phylums" even when offered evidence of transitional fossils, and how "we don't see evolution continuing to happen today in any species", so these videos have really helped him be more supportive of the field I want to study. Thanks.
    106
  457. Hey professor Dave. I'm glad you're able to advertise your music on your main channel in this video. Tannhauser Gate was my 4th most listened song this year on Spotify, and i love it obviously. thank you for doing all you do to promote science.
    106
  458. Let’s talk about the end of the universe >upbeat music plays
    105
  459. Your explanation is so concise. Now I see that the vector space properties and behavior are the same as we learned in earlier classes, but I don't know what is wrong with college instructors. It is like they can't explain it straight forward. Thank you Prof. Dave.
    105
  460. This is absolutely fabulous! I'm teaching the Endocrine System to my nursing and allied health students via distance learning, and this has proved to be a fantastic resource to help out in the virtual classroom. You're my hero, Professor Dave!
    105
  461. Having seen a few videos from khan academy, worked with various math websites, even tried a book algebra 1 for dummies, this is MILES ahead of everything else. The way you get to the point and pack everything densely, yet still manage to explain everything fully is amazing. This entire polynomials only took me a good hour to master. Thanks!
    105
  462. Dude looks legit shook in his videos, and when he just keeps repeating shit like "boy did I have a heyday with that" it reminds me of someone who just got broken up with saying "I don't even care anymore I'm over it" every 5 minutes to try to convince themselves they're actually over. While being very much not over it.
    104
  463. exam is today what a blessing you are sir
    103
  464. This is the best explanation out of all the other youtube videos. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!!!!!
    103
  465. Hey Professor Dave! I’m an undergrad physics student minoring in math and I’ve been interested in flat earth obliteration for over 4 years now. Your videos are always funny and actually get me thinking about some of the phenomena that I can’t immediately explain! You’re one of the big reasons I got into physics, so thank you!
    103
  466. Professor Dave, I am an MS1(first year medical student) and my first block includes immunology. I wanted to say your videos including this complement protein video are more concise than the lectures from my immunology professor. Thank you!
    102
  467. This channel is so underrated. Professor dave explain every topic amazingly!!!!
    102
  468. You are an angel. I've been trying to study my chem book for over 2 hours now and wanted to cry and you explained it so much better than an entire chapter in less than 6 minutes you sweet beautiful man.
    102
  469. There are two sad things here. First, it is a hear-breaking demonstration of how religion (as well as other beliefs in woo in general) can warp even the most functional minds. Dr. Tour is clearly an extremely intelligent individual, and yet when it comes to anything that impinges on his particular flavor of irrationality he becomes a functional imbecile (I'm a practicing biochemist myself and can attest to verisimilitude of Prof. Dave's expositions vs Dr. Tour's downright dishonesty/ignorance). The second is that Dr. Tour works at Rice University, an excellent academic institution from which one of my daughters just graduated. It is sad to think that some of Dr. Tour's cranial flatulence in this area might at some point rub off onto her alma mater.
    102
  470. I literally watched over 20 videos trying to understand this, and this was the ONLY one that helped. Thank you x100000000
    101
  471. I finished my undergrad more than a year and a half ago, and Dave carried me in a lot of my classes, but I still watch his videos because they’re so supplemental. Keep up the good work!
    101
  472. Absolutely phenomenal summary. My textbook is great at the nitty gritty details, but I was getting over-whelmed and needed a reminder of the big picture. This is exactly the type of supplemental material I've been looking for, definitely going to subscribe. Thank you so much for the hard work and brilliant explanation!
    100
  473. PROFESSOR DAVE sir you just saved my life. No amount of 'thank you's' could amount to how grateful I am for your videos!!
    100
  474. I just finished algebra 1 and 2 and geometry this quarantine, (and also astronomy), time to head out to trigo and calculus. thanks a lot prof dave! I've learned a lot and had fun!
    100
  475. Dave, you need way, way, WAY more appreciation from the internet. Thousands of students like me flock to your channel for assistance/clarification in every walk of education and science everyday, and I am appalled that the majority don't make sure you feel appreciated. Keep being awesome!
    99
  476. I’ve been binge watching your cosmology series and my 5 year old daughter has shown an interest. She particularly likes the music.
    99
  477. MISTER FARINA!!!! Thank you for making these debunks, the world needs them and watching you dunk on these grifters/clowns unapologetically is so entertaining.
    99
  478. i am from india and me and my friends,we are preparing for the hardest exam conducting here and i have literally recommended my whole class so they can improve their organic too.......well 2020 going good so far
    99
  479. LMFAO!!! Omg, I LOVE YOU!!! We played your debunking video at the end of our medical staff retreat!!! Thank you for doing the Lord’s work, from myself and all my coworkers and staff at Montreal Hospitals!
    99
  480. Congratulations Dave! Your hard work and dedication continue to pay off!
    98
  481. Just wanted to send a big thank you for making all of this content! I always wished I would have had the opportunity to take Anatomy and Physiology in college, but these videos help make up for that. Very excited to keep learning!
    98
  482. An update in case you still read comments on your old videos. I just graduated with my Chem B.S in December, and have an amazing industry job now. Thanks for the help, Dave.
    98
  483. 14:45 If anyone debates James in the future I hope they get a chance to corner him on this "stop all research" stance. Cancer research has many more years than abiogenesis and we still haven't cured it after throwing way more money and effort. Should we stop and ignore everything done so far until a fresh batch of researchers comes up with new ideas? James might try and argue that while no cure has been found, we have improved diagnosis and treatment for cancer improving survival rate. If he makes that logical mistake, the gotcha is that he now has implied that all abiogenesis research up until now is faulty or incorrect but he's unable to prove that in the realm of science using peer reviewed papers. If he can't discredit the papers in peer review, then he can't claim the work is faulty and not making progress. If he backpedals and tries to claim abiogenesis isn't making progress fast enough, he then has deal with the issue of time and effort spent on cancer with no cure. So much of his stances rely on faulty logic I can't believe he wants to debate.
    98
  484. It was an honor to have you over for this discussion, Dave, and my gratitude for your generosity in reposting. All the best and can't wait for the next one!
    97
  485. Hi Dave! I love your videos, and am excited to see every new one. I find you to be credible, honest, wildly entertaining, and just plain likeable! I'm an Anti-theist, published author in trucking information, I'm educated, and a debater in Atheist areas. I hold a Bachelor in Psychology, but mostly I'm a trucker, biker, family man, lover of truth and honesty, and have used your information to make points in debates, ROCK ON BROTHER!
    97
  486. I am addicted to this channel
    97
  487. 2:50 Congratulations, FINALLY a video on youtube that explains that the 'observer' in the experiment is not a 'soul' or a 'consciousness', etc...
    97
  488. Dave I’ve been watching you for so long when I was going through school for math and chemistry, now that I’m too far in my degree for your videos anymore I still love popping back in here and there and see you are still on top of it all! Keep up the good work!
    96
  489. Bruh I learned more in 6 and a half minutes than in 20 hours with the teacher That's saying something!
    95
  490. “ I couldn’t get a job as a cop because I didn’t have any insider connections, but i did have a high ranking contact in the CIA.” Okay buddy, I’m sure you did. Take your meds and you’ll feel better soon
    95
  491. I suck at chemistry but only because of your lectures I got highest garde in my class........you're a life saver bro.....
    95
  492. Tomorrow I have a physics exam .thanks for uploading this dave. I am learning physics, biology, chemistry , maths from you. All your videos are short and provides knowledge with clarity. Thanks for everything man your videos mean a lot to me.
    95
  493. Thanks for the series, Dave! I had seen a video or two from DI and James Tour, so given my Christian beliefs, I used to distrust all of science, but your videos made a huge difference. I'll admit that I didn't understand some of the science you presented ( maybe that's why I believed it ), but one day I will, maybe with your tutorials because it's never too late to become smarter. Keep making these videos, because you are making a difference.
    94
  494. After todays smackdown, i had to join your membership. Keep it up
    94
  495. Professor Dave is the best "nerd." You have to love and respect the passion and knowledge!
    94
  496. Thank you ! ♄you saved me from being bamboozled !!!
    94
  497. I can't thank you enough for your colossal contribuation to my understanding of maths and physics. I'm a medicine doctor but I'm fascinated by physics and chemistry. I've read a dozen books about physics but the authors focused on the equations and the formulas rather than the phenomena themselves. Your videos are way better. Thank you again.
    94
  498. currently cramming for my upcoming college admission exams and ur videos had been SAVING me. thank u so much professor <3
    93
  499. I remember when you had just under 20k subscribers - now you have just over 1 million. Proud of you professor! Keep up the amazing work.
    93
  500. Your layout is soooo clean. So simple and straight to the point. Thanks so much
    93
  501. The biggest question is."How can one man master soooo many areas"? Salute you
    92
  502. for coming to Italy, i learned Italian from you, now i am studying at university .. i am still learning everything from you.. i hope the best for you always and everywhere .. i really dont know how to thank you ...
    92
  503. Thanks, Professor Dave. Any rational unbiased person would have declared you the victor in this circus. I learned a lot about science from your videos and I only wish I had you as a science educator in school. Btw, phenomenal book “Is This Wi-Fi Organic?”
    92
  504. Trying to do calculus online for a college course where the professor only teaches what's literally in the book (no further explanations) This was so helpful!!!
    92
  505. Professor Dave, my sweet love. Its people like you that make this life worth living. Nothing I could ever say here could be enough to repay how much you've helped me and countless others. The sheer mass of your contribution to the art of midnight test cramming shakes me to the very core of my being. Truly you have shaped the academic standings and futures of many young lives in this modern world. My feeble words are like specks of dust before your colossal persona of generosity and concise mathematical explanations. Thank you

  506. why am I just discovering him aaa I love how he presents and how articulate he is. not to mention how well and concise he explained it!!!! why is this 6min video way more clear than everything else I've seen up until now? 😭🙏 tysmmm

  507. Globes, globes, flat-earthers’ pain, “Deny the curve, or go insane!” The math is clear, the facts absolute, Yet here you are, stuck in dispute. Globes, globes, the shape of the wise, But flat-earthers cling to their foolish lies. “You’ll fall off the edge!” they dramatically shout— Bro, where’s this edge? Let’s map it out. Globes, globes, a reality plain, Yet you dream of horizons that never explain. “NASA’s lying! It’s all just a scheme!” Chill out, my guy—it’s science, not a meme. Globes, globes, the Earth's mighty design, But your logic’s as flat as a soda past its prime. Gravity’s fake? Ships don’t sink from sight? You’ve got theories that crumble faster than light. Globes, globes, they won’t break your brain, You’re lost in a flat world that’s clearly insane. So spare us the nonsense, get back in the race— The truth curves ahead, and you’re stuck in one place.

  508. Aways remember is that Bob Knodel claimed he was a Commercial Pilot with a Multi Engine rating. He posted that on my channel, he stated it in videos and it was on his FEIC profile. He never was. The FAA Pilot register is a public database. Anyone can check his record for themselves. He is a Private Pilot, single engine but his last medical was in 1978. That means it expired 40 years ago. When I hinted I was going to make a video about it he panicked and started deleting all the claims. We caught him in the act. A 100% proven fraud which means you cannot trust a word he says. Jeran is just as bad for tagging along. I told Jeran privately that Bob was an amateur long before making it public. He did nothing. The fact that he still tags along with Bob confirms he is also a total fraud. Worthless hacks the both of them.

  509. " Professor Dave Explains " . And man oh man , he does.
    89
  510. Thanks Dave! I appreciate all your efforts in debunking pseudoscience and nonsense and I enjoy watching your content. I have even used some of your educational videos to fill some of the gaps in my knowledge. Mech Engineering classes are pretty light on chemistry so its nice to have a good knowledgeable resource to fall back on in an easy to digest format.
    89
  511. I just discovered this channel a few weeks ago when I was looking for a comprehensive review of math from arithmetic to calc II. From what I have watched from the math series, to a few OChem videos and now simultaneously starting the anatomy and physiology vids I am completely blown away by how concise yet comprehensive these videos are. I have yet to see a unexplained leap in logic and have only seen one very minor piece of ambiguity in explanation. This channel is absolute gold; zero fluff yet Dave seems to cover all relevant information necessary to learn and understand a particular topic. A very rare combination.
    89
  512. Professor Dave. You are frik'n smart man. Thank you for sharing this video on YouTube. You're the best!
    89
  513. I've used your videos personally to help my family learn more, I've shown my mother, who at the time, was getting into very scary conspiratorial thinking, how 5G makes kids with autism die, diet soda puts holes in your brain, stuff like that, she's definitely improved and has questioned the stuff she sees, sometimes she asks me directly, soon I'll show my dad some of your videos, cause he seems to be going down the same path in recent times.
    88
  514. thanks sir! i didn’t get it when my teacher told us about this but your short and to the point method really works for me :^D
    88
  515. Everything you say is so much simpler and easy to understand than my professors. Keep up the good work!
    87
  516. Hands down the easiest to understand IR spectroscopy vid I found on youtube. The explanation is clear and engaging.
    87
  517. You are excellent at explaining concepts in a simple manner, thank you for putting these out
    87
  518. Hi Dave. I just found your videos a couple days ago, and love them. You have an amazing skill at explaining science simply and clearly. Thanks for all your videos. In this day and age of growing pseudo science, we need them! I'm looking forward to wearing the t-shirt I ordered.
    86
  519. This is getting out of hand. To think how far we've come in terms of technology and our understanding of the universe and yet more and more people seem intent on dragging us back into the dark ages. From alternative medicine proponents an antivaxers to Flat earthers and Young Earth Creationists, it's an absolute epidemic. And it's only going to get worse as we continue to lag further and further behind in areas like education and research.
    86
  520. You are awesome Professor Dave. I understood this in 6mins compared to 1hr with my professor. You just got a new subscriber, thank you!
    86
  521. I blacked out, and when I came to, I had created an artificial black hole generation machine. Professor Dave, what have you done...?
    86
  522. This is such a great video; explains everything so well, and leaves no leaps of faith! Love how you included how "chemistry happens in picoseconds". Thanks Dave!
    85
  523. Outstanding explanation on how to do synthetic division! Not that hard, really. Just tedious trying all the possible rational roots! Thanks, sir!!
    85
  524. I've studied most of my chemistry lessons from this channel, and I got 95/100 in my finals. Thank you Professor Dave!
    85
  525. I'm a 4th year computer science major taking an astronomy class as one of my final electives. My finals tmrw and I'm ready, but Dave really clutch out here. 11/10 content.
    85
  526. The internet was so much better when it was just us geeks.
    85
  527. Hello Professor Dave, I just wanted to let you know that because of you I plan on being a science teacher for high school students. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me and many others. I know my kids will love you! Thanks again!
    85
  528. This is way better than Crash Course or Khan Acadamy!! Thank you so much!
    85
  529. I love microbiology; it was always one of my favorite areas to work in the lab. Nothing like pulling out racks of cultures you plated the day before and seeing what you will find!! I loved when something rare would show up...not as good for the patient, depending upon what was found to be the cause of their illness, but fascinating for me and great to be able to figure out which antibiotics would be effective in helping the patient.
    84
  530. I'm on my third day reviewing math from the basics until this episode and everything has been a smooth sailing journey thanks to Professor Dave. He explains everything crystal clear and I swear to god, his organized playlist of math video lessons is the best thing that you could find out there for learning mathematics and it will definitely guide you into fully knowing the basics and other info you missed out on or have already forgotten during your high school years (or lower grade level years) of studying mathematics. Dave, I wanna give you a big big hug and a big big thank youuuuuuu for creating these contents! They were very helpful to me, especially during this time when I will soon be taking college entrance exams. Once again, thank you soooo much! And I wish that more people would come to this wonderful and helpful channel! <3
    84
  531. The only 1 stop shop for roasting science deniers and amazing tutorials on a variety of subjects. Thank you Dave!
    83
  532. It's very hard to explain complex things in simple ways. And you have just done that! Kudos!
    83
  533. I am the inquisitive lay person. Showed my friends the millipede and centipede video. Now they are inquisitive and lay
    83
  534. Now I understanding the concept of differentation...your teaching style is superb Professor!!!!!
    83
  535. As comment 101, I have a strange sense this video and series is going to attract some very smart people, and some very obtuse loudhorns. Let the popcorn flow...... This is gonna be a gas 🧐
    83
  536. I’m a Pharmacist and extremely impressed by your presentation. Excellent work! 👍👏👏👏👏
    82
  537. Thanks for the video. You have a great no nonsense way of informing people on a subject. SO much so I bought your book not once but twice and gave the second copy to my daughter to read
    82
  538. This is always a hard topic to teach. This is straight forward and clear. Great video!
    82
  539. I love your series. After im done this playlist im heading right over to Biopsychology!
    82
  540. I'm a SW developer, watching math videos on youtube on my spare time. This was a great and clear presentation. Thank you.
    81
  541. I love your teaching style so much. I literally have an exam today and I was sure I was going to fail because I had no idea what i was doing. Your videos brought me up to speed and now i'm confident that I at least won't fail. I wish I found you earlier because calculus 2 felt very hard and difficult to understand so I avoided the subject entirely. Now you make me think calculus is easy. Really regretting not finding you earlier. Would have had time to do more practice problems before my test.
    81
  542. writing the entrance exam to get into medical school in 2 days, and this video and your skeletal system video helped so much !!! thanks man
    80
  543. I have seen a few comments on here about Dave "stooping to their level" with his harsh words and moderate insults. I would like to encourage everyone reading this to watch his entire series on astronomy including his original lecture on the shape of the planet. If you did, you would see his style didnt change at all with the original flat earth video compared to the rest of the series. He was absolutely polite and respectfull with the clear goal of hurting no one's feelings. Also you would learn a ton of cool shit about the universe we live in and the stages it's gone through. Then listen to how globebusters treated him. You will quickly realize he is simply swinging at the pitch they threw. While you're at it, watch his series on physics as well (classical and modern). Then go talk to your flat earth coworker or auntie or whatever. It makes life way easier and everyone involved gets a little smarter because of it.
    80
  544. I LITERALLY SHOUTED YAYYY!!!!! Congratulations with all the hard work you put in. YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! đŸ„°đŸ„łđŸ„łđŸ„łđŸ„łđŸ„łđŸ„łđŸ„ł
    80
  545. Thanks!
    79
  546. A world designed according to the dozen or so mutually incompatible models that they promote would look like an M.C. Escher drawing.
    79
  547. Professor Dave is the science teacher I always hoped I would get in school, but never did.
    78
  548. I was losing train of thought on this, but all of a sudden this clicked in my head, like a virtual lightbulb going off in my head. After years of being lost in confusion by teachers over complicating this; your simple but EFFECTIVE method made me finally get my head around NMR. Thank you!!
    78
  549. I started watching your videos just yesterday, and although I have just earned my B.S. degree in Exercise Science, these videos are exactly what I need to stay engaged in my field. Whether you see this or not, thank you, Professor Dave. It is hard for me to enjoy studying materials over because of how boring it is, but I love watching these videos. It feels a lot better knowing that this material is not insanely hard to learn and remember when taught the way that is best for me. You are making a huge difference in peoples' lives including mine.
    78
  550. I just finished my first night class for Pre-Calc30 and this video made everything we covered last night make a lot more sense. I really appreciate your efforts. I will watch more of your content as I am also upgrading my CHEM 30
    78
  551. I am a physics teacher and i think that Dave is doing a really great job at explaining things - he has this talent to nail it..
    78
  552. Thank you SO MUCH for making these videos! They are easy to follow and so helpful.
    78
  553. This whole course fixed up my broken basic mathematics which i ridiculously forgot and sucked at which also haunted me now. But this whole course has changed my life. Thanks Proffesor Dave
    77
  554. You're my best teacher without overdoing so you've to carry on hard working to help your students
    77
  555. Your channel got me through Orgo in my undergrad days. Now, in my grad school days, I’m watching again so I can properly explain to my students.
    77
  556. I owe my entire college degree to this dude
    77
  557. Hey I just watched a couple of your videos and became aware of how I have been deceived. To be honest, I wasn’t using critical thinking and discerning truth from fiction. Your channeled opened my eyes to using my brain instead of believing fantasies.
    76
  558. Professor Dave, first, you are AWESOME! Thank you for demolishing that con artist in your debate. I appreciate it more than you know....growing up my religious father beat me over the head with Kent hovinds seminars. He made me watch all the tapes and brainwashed me. He took me to hovinds “dinosaur land” in Pensacola, where I actually shook that bastards hand. I was so brainwashed, that as a child my father made me travel to different churches regurgitating hovinds bullshit to youth groups. Finally I grew up, did six years in the marine corps, and then got my degree in microbiology. I’m no where near the expert that you are Dave, but what I would give to debate that con artist myself. I’m unashamed to say now I am an atheist and not brainwashed by hovinds CULT, because that’s what it is. P.s. your science videos helped me pass all my finals, thanks bud lol
    76
  559. i love you so much man... I've been struggling to understand the Hess Law for months now and you are just a life saver!! You just got me subscribed to your channel
    76
  560. Thanks for making these, gives me hope science will win over misinformation.
    75
  561. 1. Thank you for not dressing up like a nerd (or not dressing up) like many other science tutorial videos out there. It's insulting to us in the science world. 2. I'm a senior chemical engineering student, and I watch your videos all the time. It's amazing how coming back to basics is essential to understanding more complex material. I'd even argue the basics are the more difficult to learn. 3. Thanks for your contribution to teaching science in a way that anyone can understand. Your summaries frankly cover the main points of entire courses I've taken (though I appreciate that studying and practicing the details is very important, too).
    75
  562. This has got to be the best explanation I have seen. I understand it now. You are a good man, thank you.
    75
  563. Professor Dave is the best thing about Mondays!
    75
  564. This was explained exceptionally well! The visuals you provided along with the simple explanations made these formulas soooooo much easier to understand. Thanks You Professor Dave!
    75
  565. I missed the request to send in videos on how your channel has helped me. I wanted to share here. 3 years ago I was a YEC and a conspiracy theorist. You have played the largest role in my conversion. Today I'm a theistic evolutionist. I accept all aspects of science. You may remember during the James Tour saga, you clipped one of my comments to show in your post debate response. In that comment, I had said I was very disappointed in James Tour, but didn't agree with abiogenesis. I have since come to agree with abiogenesis because of your content. While still religious, I have totally shifted how I approach my faith. This shift has also led to me disregarding all conspiracy theories. These shifts in beliefs have drastically changed my life for the better. My overall approach has changed. I now look at studies and experts when making a decision about my health. You helped me shake my anti establishment bias. Water is a good example. Your water series made me realize floride is good. I also check my local water report to see the science behind my water quality instead of being scared for no reason/making unnecessary purchases. That same logic extends to all aspects of my life. Basically you totally changed my life for the better. And the ripple effect of that has positively changed the life of my family. You have had a bigger positive impact on my life than any other YouTuber. The platform will not be the same when you retire. Thank you!
    74
  566. Never, ever stop making these videos Dave I've brought a not insignificant number of people back from the brink using them. ❀
    74
  567. Holy moly professor Dave....you just took something that was frustrating the life out of me because of how convoluted my text book is and turned it into easy to understand knowledge to be crammed into my brain. haha. thanks!
    74
  568. I learned so much in 9 minutes than i did the whole 1 and and a half hour my professor talked about this, 3 weeks ago
    74
  569. What a god of maths, watching these videos and it's changing how I see maths
    74
  570. OMG such a life saver I thank you for you for making these videos. I now understand what's going on in college
    74
  571. Probably your best DI take-down yet, Dave. Really enjoyed this one!
    74
  572. After watching so many videos on the same topic this was by far the most helpful! THANKS!
    74
  573. Share instantly to my students in Taiwan. Brilliant lectures, Pro.Dave.
    73
  574. I'm a chem tutor at my local community college, and I always recommend your tutorial content for those who need a concise & informative presentation on the stuff they just learned. But sometimes I also tell them about how well you dropkick some of these online silly gooses when it comes to basic scientific literacy. Either way, you're a fantastic resource for this stuff. Keep it up! I aspire to know as much as you one day.
    73
  575. Very helpful. I missed a week containing the lecture over Gravimetric Analysis and Titrations in my Chemistry class. This made things much clearer! Please come be my professor! :-(
    73
  576. Dave. I want more Simulated Sun. I want another song by the end of the year. On a real note, thank you for everything that you do!
    72
  577. Thank you! People like you make youtube useful!
    72
  578. Passed my math exam. Thnx from the Netherlands.
    72
  579. Dave you beautiful wealth of knowledge. All of my tuition should go to you, you're better than my professor hands down.
    72
  580. This guy is like the Bob Saget of science youtubers. His normal material is very wholesome and family friendly. Outside of that, he's got some of the best roasts you'll find among the community...
    72
  581. SynthDave explains
    72
  582. You make math seem so easy 😌
    72
  583. I'M SO HAPPY! I'm from Argentina and always recommend your channel for learning, but since not everyone speaks/understands English well enough the language barrier prevented them. Now I can share your Spanish channel and bring more people to watch your extremely helpful videos!! 💕
    71
  584. I skipped a one hour and 20 minute class due to illness. This video is less than 10 minutes and wow you explained so well!
    71
  585. I have so much respect for you, for taking on these idiots. I had to admit I was one of them at some point. I was a born again Christian and young Earth creationist and a pastor. Currently I am an atheist and I understand science, finally. Born again Christians are fed wrong science on a regular basis. And as we know, when human beings are repeated a lie over time repeatedly, it will become truth to them. That's why they are unable to see fact from fiction Much respect for your channel I watch it often
    71
  586. " BRAWNDO got what plants crave! It got electrolytes!" ;) A heart if you understand!
    71
  587. I’m about to get my masters degree in chemistry, and I still go back to your videos to get some repetition on spectroscopic techniques đŸ€­
    71
  588. Flat earthers: "you cant prove any of this because you cant test it and theres no proof and BECAUSE I SAID SO." A- ap physics student (me): we did 90% of these experiments at our lab tables with a school budget of probably 50 bucks and some old parts found at a garage sale.
    70
  589. As someone working on their master’s in genomics, your introduction to the background information is fantastic. Easy for the layperson to understand without over simplifying. Masterfully done, good sir.
    70
  590. BTW, he used your tutorials during his junior year OChem class.
    70
  591. I was a casual subscriber. Thanks for the heads up.
    70
  592. I have recommended this channel for 150+ people who have been very satisfied with u...luv u man!!!!!
    70
  593. I’ve been struggling with getting my GED.. I was supposed to graduate in 2003... I’ve been putting it off for the longest time because math scares me. I stumbled upon your video about Alpha Centauri and I liked it so I browsed your channel and thank you for this. I’m going to start studying again and go for my GED. Thank you.
    70
  594. All of your material is remarkable, but this particular video is invaluable. Your explanation of abstruse subject matter is profound. Contemplating the extended butterfly effect of your teachings is awe-inspriring. Thank you for your indefatigable informative commitment.
    69
  595. I'm currently taking Calculus 1 from home without any video lessons or instructions from my professor because of the current pandemic. This video has gotten me a perfect score on my assignment that is due in 2 days. I understood it well enough to even take it to its second derivative, and that's from a single 12 minute video. I'm excited to go back and work through the proofs for this for a few days once I finish my exam!
    69
  596. I feel stupid for being a sub of his..... not anymore. Omg I'm an idiot I did not notice this stuff just interestd In the sun weather.
    69
  597. Underrated channel Love your content. you are straight to the point without being boring and its well edited and great audio Its a pleasure not to listen to an audio clip that's 80% reverb
    69
  598. I owe so much to your channel, Professor. Your videos are direct and very easy to understand. I'm studying for an admission test and you have been such a big help.
    69
  599. I started quantum mechanics on a masters with no real background. These videos gave me so much insight, a week ago i literally barely understood what a couple of symbols meant. Now i can see all the documentation and understand everything on them. For this i can’t thank professor dave enough. Now i need all the exercises to know how to tackle them!
    69
  600. Excellent explanation. If you can believe, I have been looking for this kind of explanation for 3 decades
    69
  601. Hey Dave, just wanted to give a massive thanks for this wonderful review. It's a shame that even the moderator seemed so heavily biased and didn't jump in to correct any one of the many inaccuracies on Tour's part. It must be so infuriating having to deal with every one of these pricks on a constant basis. Cheers!
    68
  602. Dude! I came to your channel just now, specifically to ask you to please do this video!!! Thank you for all you do to spread good information and teach science! I appreciate you!
    68
  603. The despair in Tour’s speech reminds me a quote "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep." (Saul Bellow)
    68
  604. To the people responsible for choosing the citizen astronauts: You could not possibly pick a better candidate than Professor Dave. He has the unique ability to make complex scientific concepts comprehensible to the general public. He could be your Space Ambassador, posting videos explaining the workings of the spacecraft, orbital physics, etc.
    68
  605. Interesting, yes. Incredibly flawed in it's presentation regarding the argument for theism tho... and fyi, I happen to believe in God while having studied sciences; primarily biology but an enthusiast of physics. It seems to me he's making an incredible number of assumptions about our universe and the unknowns and assigning absolute values to these unknowns. How can we use something as evidence for when even what you're assigning as evidence is completely hypothesized (I may not have worded that well... sorry). How can you assign an unknown, almost entirely unknown with little evidence for or against, as evidence? Even when speaking of the idea of a multiverse, why are we assuming the same parameters for the production of life? Maybe I shouldn't be commenting at 2am, sleep deprived and potentially not making sense but honestly, even tho I do believe in a Creator (perhaps not the fundamental ideals of the western concept), I kind of feel like Dave was coming at this at a more 'scientifically sound' way in acknowledging the faults in the other guys argument for...(?) I think my primary issue boils back to the fact that we seem to be suggesting one or the other; as tho science & belief in God are somehow at odds. I don't believe that. I think these are 2 mutually exclusive areas of study that do not necessarily stand in opposition to the other & I think it's a shame and a great loss that we tend to make these kinds of assumptions.
    68
  606. This 8:11 min. video is much better than a one hour class, and that table at end which comprises all the important details and names of enzymes are mind blowing.Keep helping us like this. Thanks😀
    68
  607. Professor Dave has helped me so much with my Italian. I went through all 121 videos. I'm all the way from South Africa and I am so happy for your work and effort.
    67
  608. I’m taking chem honors this year as a sophomore and I have no idea what’s happening. Thank you so much
    67
  609. This video is worth millions....it helped me a lot....my exam's gonnna commence in about 2 hours and this video just nailed it... Kudos to professor dave!
    67
  610. Thank you so much Dave sir, I couldn't understand this concept in my teacher's 1.5 hour lecture which I understood here with crystal clarity here in 4 minutes!! You have excellent teaching skills, I am a fan of your videos sir !!
    67
  611. this just showed me most of what i was looking for, and then told me so much more in a direction i didn't even realize i was heading.... damn good job here.
    67
  612. Most underrated Channel on youtube! Thank you Dave, you got me through college (I am a verbal and visual learner), I am doing analytical chemistry now, working on HPLC-MS analysis of oil samples in the Arctic environment.
    67
  613. Just wanted to say that I have read half of your book and find it's a great way to introduce people to science!
    66
  614. Was going to drop this class, then I found your channel. You present everything in a very straightforward and engaging way!
    66
  615. Professor Dave Explains > Crash course
    66
  616. This has nothing to do with Nixon. I just want to be the first to congratulate Prof Dave on your absolute demolition of Globe Busters.... To the extent that they have deleted all of their content. Dave..... You F'ing RULE.
    66
  617. I am a calculus teacher and I have looked a few videos on this subject. Your video is the first one I have watched that actually does this mathematically correctly. Thank you! If students simply memorize a process and do not understand what is happening, they are going down a dead end street. Your video was very easy to follow and you emphasized quite nicely the concept of "the derivative of something with respect to something else" - a critical concept as we progress through calculus. It is not about getting the right answer it is about getting the right answer by understanding the mathematics. Thank you! I will post your video for my students in addition to my own videos.
    66
  618. One day, I think you will become a poster channel for students across the world to refer to. I'm glad someone is finally doing it. Thank you Professor Dave.
    66
  619. Professor Dave, you've made my life as a 40 year old working mom, wife and student a billion times better! Thank you! Please keep doing exactly what you are doing for all of us humans.
    65
  620. Dear Dave, you simply cannot understand how many people notice the mario and luigi. And we all congratulate you for not removing them
    65
  621. I wish youtube allowed us to like a video multiple times, everytime you finished a point i went to press the like button only to realise i already pressed it (this happened multiple times)
    65
  622. Yeah yeah i know i'm 4 years late but still dude. Your videos are making my study sessions easy. I recomended you and your channel to everyone in my class. We are all grateful. Keep up the awesome work, cheers from Turkey
    65
  623. This is the primary reason why these Creationist arguments from probability always fail. They always defined the target sequence too narrowly. Yes, the chance of a given molecule forming is astronomically low. But the target sequence is too narrowly defined. For a 500-residue amino, the chances of that particular one forming are 1 in 20^500. But they assume that only 1 in 20^500 sequences work. They have no justification for that assumption. BTW, you might want to see an article where I talk about just this kind of thing: Levenson, B.P. 2022. Probability or determinism: How rare is ETI? Journal of the British Interplanetary Society 75, 348-356.
    65
  624. Your intro really brings me a lot of joy, Professor Dave. :)) Just wanted to point that out :>
    64
  625. 9:34 :ahem: let's see if we find out new information here in the coming months
    64
  626. Thoroughly enjoyed Timothy Nguyens lesson in this, wasnt expecting it
    64
  627. I know it doesn't feel like it, but these videos help people. Thank you
    64
  628. I am so addicted to this astronomy course... Professor Dave your awesome
    64
  629. People like this are underappreciated and lifesavers for students.
    64
  630. Professor Dave I just came across your video and I want to express my appreciation at the very clear presentation of the concepts; not only are the slides very clear, you speak with a certain clarity which is rare to come by in a mathematics tutorial. Thank you .
    63
  631. New marketing campaign: "Diamonds that people are dying to get" /s
    63
  632. Calculus has been independently created/discovered at least 4 times (Pascal has a programming language named after him for his version) and thus we have 4 completely independent, yet internally consistent, sets of notating these concepts. Why did it get reinvented? Lack of local higher mathematics textbooks and education. Thank you for helping to fill this void in the current age, and making a 5th time unnecessary.
    63
  633. Thank you, Professor Dave for creating this page! I'm currently taking CHEM 10 online summer session and your video are extremely helpful. You cut the fluff and get straight to the point, which makes learning the "scary" chem material fun.
    63
  634. I have been trying to learn this for 2 months, and this 7 minute video taught me more than my teacher 😭 thank you !
    62
  635. You're the best, man. I've been watching your chem videos for 2 years now. I'm in my 4th semester of chem and I always watch your videos late at night just before an exam and I always get A's. You're a rockstar and I'm diggin' the new(ish) haircut, it's cute!
    62
  636. If you were my teacher back in good school two things would have been different. 1. I would have had better grades because I understand you unlike my teachers. 2. I would actually have enjoyed what I was learning.
    62
  637. Waiting for Kirk Cameron to start holding up a picture of a Parrocat.
    61
  638. Dave, your debunk videos are extremely entertaining but most importantly, they provide an invaluable service. Especially to those on the fence. You are reducing the world's collective stupidity.
    61
  639. this is my favorite video to eat to, clean my room too, fold laundry too, and have as background noise when I play baldurs gate. The absolute absurdity of this man keeps me hooked every single time
    61
  640. Thank you for saving me again Dave. This will be perfect for my little brother who is struggling with algebra.
    61
  641. This is a GREAT series. Thank you for making it a great way to start a conversation with kids especially when starting at the beginning of the series and going through it piece by piece. It makes it easy to talk about the different functions of the body and then to use it as a starting point to do more research with the child if they have more questions. I love it!
    61
  642. @23:07 Given a clear question "kind or species" Kent evades by asking James if he has an equal share of the time and doesn't answer the question. Dave lets him change the subject... This is Hovinds strategie in every debate he has. As Dave says "slick as a greased pig".
    61
  643. I just want to say that I’ve always enjoyed your content and it has definitely helped me in my education. Some of your content I’ve even used on knewton Alta for chemistry. I admire the fact that you have decided to step into the world of live debates and throughly enjoy watching you do so. There’s a lot of educational channels on YouTube that don’t care to get involved with live debates, but with you showing that your willing able able to shows how passionate you are about these subjects and how passionate you are to help people decipher science from pseudoscience.
    60
  644. Hey Dave. I just wanted to say thank you so very much for the information you put out there. I am a HS dropout with a GED and didn't know what to do with my life. Covid hit and I really found myself reflecting on my past and how my future was going to turn out. Around this time, i found your channel. You have taught me Basic Biology, chemistry, zoology, Astronomy, and exposed me to con men who are frauds and shouldn't be trusted. You sparked my interest in evolution and human history and i am now pursuing an associates in the arts of history and I hope to carry this progress onto university. Your content has changed my life for the better and i couldn't be more thankful. You pulled me out of a RIght-wing conspiracy hell hole and i am more knowledgeable than ever thanks to you. I also just purchased your book and am absolutely enjoying every page i read. Thank you and keep all the good content up ! You help inspire others !
    60
  645. I always love watching yojr videos! Just the right mix of high quality video production and simple language. You get concepts across so concisely but with such precision, it’s fantastic ❀
    60
  646. I am so happy to have found this channel. The content is so easy to understand and the production of the video is so well done. Thank you so much! You make an awesome professor!
    60
  647. If you ever wonder whether or not there are conservative atheists in full support of this series, the answer is yes. If you ever wonder if there are conservative christians in full support of this series, the answer is also yes. I know because I am one, and my dad is the other.
    60
  648. Hi Dave, I would like to thank you for your chemistry clips. I introduced your clips to my daughter when she was in junior high, she is currently in college now taking up Chemical Engineer. She truly enjoyed your clips, it helped her enjoy chemistry. :D
    60
  649. Here for every Professor Dave video!
    59
  650. I'm literally coming here from Khan Academy--thats how high calibre you are of an educator. To be fair, the KA video I didn't like was a one-off, as generally they are pretty good. If anyone is wondering--watch this video by Prof D instead of "Regulation of transcriptions" in the KA MCAT>Biomolecules>Gene Control.
    59
  651. I believed Billy before watching this video and realized I actually know nothing and didn’t even take out the time to critically think and question what was said. I respect the realistic fact based perspective and thank you for the break down of the podcast episode.
    59
  652. Listening to the testimonials was emotional, Dave
You’ve helped improve so many lives with your work
Did you ever expect your life to have so far reaching, world changing effects?
You’re a true gift to the world of science communication
We all love you Dave
Thank You, sincerely

    58
  653. Thank you for another lucid, consumable video. Your work has genuinely gotten me through my semester. Please keep making more content!
    58
  654. Professor, you really have the gift of teaching. The clarity and simplicity of your explanations are amazing! Thank you!!
    58
  655. Professor Dave, I don't know how to thank you enough! I'm in an advanced physical organic chemistry class right now, and we're learning qualitative molecular orbital theory. This video is going to be an incredible asset!! Would you consider making any more videos on this topic?
    58
  656. I've literally never been more pumped for anything more than a pharmacology series from prof. dave.
    57
  657. Astonished with your unbelievable teaching skills, I never understood its concept in my whole life till I came across this video, what a time and life savor, thanks man, much appreciated!
    57
  658. your videos perfectly understood with just basic knowledge. really some of the best quality content i've seen on youtube and i've seen a lot of educational videos
    57
  659. I thought I was doomed, not understanding anything. I came here, spent 7 minutes instead of the 3 hours my teacher spent, and understand everything. God Bless you! If there would be more people like you, planet Earth would be heaven.
    57
  660. I'm about to begin calculus but I'm going through this amazing 'All Of It' playlist to fully understand everything from arithmetic, instead of just relying on memorization and to eliminate any bad habits I've developed. You make math fun even with these short videos and explain everything so well. Can't thank you enough @ProfessorDaveExplains
    56
  661. My organic chem lord and savior
    56
  662. I've said this before, but thank you for helping me deprogram and for having a better understanding of science. videos like this really help.
    56
  663. 3 hours??! Lets go dave, this one should last me until your next video comes out
    56
  664. Hi, Dave! Thanks for letting me share these insects with your audience! Hope to see some of you over at the AntLab channel!
    56
  665. Thank you for your research and analysis. 👍 YouTube started to suggest Ben's videos to me, perhabs because of my interest in real footage of volcanic and seismic activity. I became suspicious of his flashy presentaion of papers and diagrams. Now I got a better understanding of how easy it might be to fall into the rabbit hole by a slight push of YouTubes algorithm. Makes your work in science communication even more valuable.
    56
  666. Live in a poor household and your free content helped me in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and various other topics. I was able to finish school after 5y with above average grades. THANK YOU so much for everything. Im 100% sure that without these videos I wouldnt be able to go to uni next year. Again big thanks from Switzerland! (I was able to donate because im working rn during my gap year)
    56
  667. Thanks for these videos. I studied math and physics. Biology is my Achilles Heel. But just from watching your videos I'm developing an understanding of the nomenclature and the processes of biology. In debates I usually steer clear of the biological arguments. The other day I was unfortunately presented with a peer reviewed biology paper that was purported by an old earth creationist, as proof that there were new species appearing in Cambrian Explosion that had no ancestors. Because of your excellent work, I was able to understand enough of the paper to show that he completely misunderstood the paper. So much so that he immediately backpedalled and instead launched into a diatribe on abiogenesis. The funny thing is he was using all the Discovery Institute talking points, but claimed to have never heard of them or any of the members I named. If he wasn't lying about that, he seemed pretty honest, then the DI has more of an influence than I thought. A bad sign indeed.
    56
  668. I cant expres by the words, how great you videos are, you helped me a lot to get into med school!!! Thank you Professor Dave
    55
  669. I love you Professor Dave! I can't express much how grateful I am for all your effort in making these comprehensive contents in different fields of Natural Science. I am currently taking my Grad studies and I am literally stuck with all the concepts we are learning in class for I don't have a strong grasp of the basic concepts in Biology, Biochem and Chemistry. With your videos, I'm slowly recovering and retaining all the information I have learned way back in my undergrad. Thank you so much. May the Almighty bless you more. (:
    55
  670. I'm happy to see your subscriber count continuously increasing, you really deserve it. I've learned a ton from your videos, and I especially appreciate the self-awareness of how you articulate specific concepts. You have a very clear understanding of what it means to not already understand something, and you tap into that very well. The fact that you include opposing arguments while explaining things is just perfect. Thanks!
    55
  671. Thank you very much for providing such a diverse array of educational materials. We've recently started linking your channel in the description on one of our science Saturday let's plays because we want our younger viewers to come to your channel. We hope it helps you educate some folks!
    55
  672. You made it so simple, I could almost start learning Italian now
    55
  673. Hey Dave, I've been watching your videos throughout college and more recently while studying for the MCAT (which I'll be taking this sunday). Your videos have helped me a lot and I appreciate the quality content you make.
    55
  674. I'm an engineering student whos been using your maths playlist to help me with my upcoming exams and I can't thank you enough, my girlfriend is doing physiotherapy and your anatomy playlist is amazing.
    55
  675. Hi Professor Dave! Your education video is very good! I am amazed at how you approach the Pharmacology topic. It is not an easy topic to explain even for full-time faculties at universities! Well done! Keep up the good work!
    54
  676. I just wanted to take the time to write you a message, and express how much I love your videos, most importantly, who you are and how you express yourself. I could watch you non stop and once I finish watching videos on your channel I will put them on repeat, hopefully at some point will fully understand what you're saying. Thanks for your effort doing this. Very much appreciated.
    54
  677. These videos are sooo helpful! Just what I needed to refresh my calculus knowledge to prep for further education. Thanks, professor Dave :)
    54
  678. Thanks for this adult discussion and fostering knowledge sharing in the face of misinformation.
    54
  679. I'm finding this video suuuuper helpful for my chem midterm tomorrow. It's also posted on my birthday four years ago heheheheh :D That must mean good luck. Thx Professor Dave!!!
    54
  680. Damm I studied this at school and at home for total of more than 5 hours and this video helps me understand it in 7 minutes. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
    54
  681. I'm from Iraq and i students my study in English such as mathematics, biology , chemistry and physics .and i got very much information from you.thank u so much❀.
    53
  682. I love how at about minute 21, you can almost audibly hear Hovind pucker at either end of his digestive tract. His pursed lips when he demands equal time is like a middle aged virgin spinster forced to share the last Mills n Boone on the planet with a bored crack whore. That was the thinnest veil of indifference which utterly failed to obscure the panic which set in when he realised his set moves had been anticipated and preempted.
    53
  683. I can't believe I learned them by heart in about 6 minutes, you are the best Professor!
    53
  684. Thanks a lot . I learned organic chemistry in three days after watching your videos . Really thanks a lot since now I am capable of giving the entrance exam to get into my dream institution . And thanks a lot for helping me take up Science stream . I cannot explain me gratitude in words .
    53
  685. I've started chemistry learning in detail by following your practical courses. This channel provides essential information for students and other enthusiastic readers to a better understanding of general aspects of chemistry.
    53
  686. Wow. I just finished this Playlist on modern physics. I'm a big time science nerd and an elementary school teacher and I have to say I've absorbed more applicable, understandable content from this series than I have in any classroom. Thanks Dave.
    52
  687. Holy crap, it's me?
    52
  688. I can tell this will be one of my favorite PDE series! Along with the Astronomy/Astrophysics, The History of Drugs, and Microbiology/Infectious Diseases series. 😊 Thanks for making awesome content for us, Dave!
    52
  689. This is why i love your channel. I used to like his channel because of the aesthetics, and for us who work 14 hour days, we dont have time to go through any of these scientific journals. Im no scientist, but i do like listening to these things. After your first video on him, i was definitely more suspicious (nice pun) of his channel, and super glad that you made this follow up video that, more effectively eviscerates his malicious lying. Going to be unsubbing today froms bens channel. :) keep up the good work dave. Btw i use your playlists to teach my 8 year olds about space. Its very easy for them to understand.
    52
  690. 5:16 Dave, these videos are hilarious, but your tone of voice makes me believe that covering these immovable objects is getting painfully tedious for you lmaoo take care of yourself
    52
  691. You just saved me so much time and frustration. Thank you so much for helping me pass my exam for anatomy and physiology!!!
    52
  692. Thanks for the video, Dave. I appreciate how you start off by explaining the basics and then go into applying the concept through examples. I find this method very useful when learning. I'm using a lot of your videos for my organic chemistry courses. Thanks again!
    52
  693. Thank you for explaining things so clearly! I'm pretty sure 50% of what I learn this semester (with uni running online while we're in isolation) is going to come from watching your videos - thanks in advance!
    52
  694. Thank you from a former music major turned biology professor! I share a lot of your videos with my classes. I wish everyone knew how much time it takes for you to put that material together. Just a simple recorded lecture takes hours and hours...and hours. I can't imagine how much time goes into the production of each video. I can say that with all of my other teaching responsibilities that I would never have the time to create the amazing materials that you have created. Your material has definitely improved the class experience for my students and I will be happy to contribute to Patreon.
    51
  695. I appreciate these videos. You do a great job introducing chemistry and science concepts. I use them all the time for summary in my NGSS STEM Chem class. Thanks!
    51
  696. You helped me survive organic chemistry when I was in undergrad. Buying this book is the least I can do as a thank you.
    51
  697. Thank you. This made me realise how bad my notes were at explaining respiration. Godsend.
    51
  698. Woah, never thought I'd see this kind of pushback to Dr.Tour. But I'm kinda glad someone out here like you is serving up a good old heaping serving of "humble pie" I used to work as a groundskeeper at Rice University. And believe it or not, I've gotten to casually talk with Dr. Tour a couple of times. He always felt kinda "off" to me when talking to me. As if he never really was talking "with me" and more "at me". Sticking strongly to his Christian agenda. He would always try to sell me on becoming a Christian follower and joining his young adult focused sermons that would involve other Rice students attend there(I was 20 at the time). I've tried pushing back in saying I just find it hard to believe in God given the life I've lived. And boy, just doing that I can tell irked him cause for a brief second I felt the "mask slip" and saw more an agitated Dr.Tour. I always gotten the vibe that this guy wouldn't be ashamed to call himself the second coming of Jesus if it wasn't considered blasphemous of him to do so. This guy really seems to love stroking his own ego because of how much he sees himself as a "goody two shoes perfect Christian" EDIT: Dude, that undergrad satire post might as well be real cause holy fug that was more or less to tee his interactions with me lmao I once in a blue moon still go visit Rice University and now I'm tempted to just bring up your channel name to him just to see how he reacts lol. Keep on the good fight my dude👍
    51
  699. My second favorite President.
    51
  700. That is by far the clearest explanation of Aristotelian logic I've ever heard. Thanks Dave.
    51
  701. So I just discovered that my favorite science channel (you) is producing synthwave, my current musical obsession. Mind blown.
    51
  702. I spent 20 minutes scrolling through the comments on JTs channel. As you would expect, it was chock full of ignorant, credulous, moronitude. The depressing fact is that as long as we allow childhood religious indoctrination, and allow the continued destruction of the quality of education, and training in critical thinking skills, we will have people willing to support pseudo-intellectual charlatans like Tour. Tour himself, like all apologists, has accepted that apologetics is not about truth, intellectual honesty, or empiricism, but about defending the faith NO MATTER WHAT. He knows he must lie to do that, and has accept that fact, and that he must pretend to be telling the truth. This is just part of the job for him. In his mind he is saving souls, so he can justify anything for that cause. So he will never change. The real task here is to prevent more people from being indoctrinated and from being insufficiently educated, so they do not get suckered into apologetics bullshit like that. It is people like Dave would are serving the greater good, who challenge these liars and provide content that exposes them. Thanks Dave for all your work. You are a legend!
    51
  703. Hey Dave, I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your content, rational thinking, and especially your crisp articulation that cuts straight to the point in all of your posts/content. It's really VERY refreshing and I'm sure it takes a lot of your resources to bring us such great content. I'm going to sub now for you and your hard work and great content. We all need to support Professor Dave and others like him in these unprecedented times of divide and pseudo-science snake oil salesman and their ideas. Not trying to shill, I just respect science.
    51
  704. Keep up the great work, Dave. Battling misinformation is one of the worthiest causes of our time. Hope all is well up the 5.
    51
  705. I’m a Conservative Christian (not a creationist though) and I really enjoy your content Dave. I read comments from people accusing you of being an asshole but you’re never rude or insult people until they do it to you first. You seem like a very reasonable person to me.
    50
  706. After watching the first entry I decided to check back when the series was complete. Now that it is, I binged it start to finish and was not disappointed. This is a colossal piece of work, Prof. Thank you for doing this!
    50
  707. I am 7 decades old, and I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Fantastic job!
    50
  708. It's pretty bleak living through this alt-right timeline. Thanks for shining a bright light on it all. Perhaps there's hope yet.
    50
  709. Exposing these frauds is, in my estimation, the most important thing you do on your channel, Dave. Thank you for all of this.
    50
  710. The frequency and quality of your videos is astonishing, you are an academic powerhouse. Thank you for continuously carrying my GPA throughout my undergraduate studies!
    50
  711. Professor Dave you are literally the best chemistry teacher! I had this topic in many hours either in school or now in university and i watch this and it makes just sense! UNBELIVABLE!
    49
  712. That C13 NMR he ranted about made me so irritated when I watched that video a couple weeks ago (when he released it). The amount of dishonesty you have to have to intentionally crop the figure to hide the part of the figure that describes the peaks... And what's worse is that he also cropped the caption. He cropped the figure to fit his own made up narrative, so it would be easier to attack that made up narrative... I pointed that out to his cult, but they didn't care.
    49
  713. Dude you are saving me in college. Thank you so much.
    49
  714. Excellent and clear content. You have helped me go through calc 1 with a horrible teacher. You're always the first one I reach to when I need to learn Calculus. When I graduate and find a job, I'll for sure donate you 30$ for helping me so much in my studies.
    49
  715. 0:47 well i would not say intelligent.
    49
  716. I was studying for my first Gen Chem exam and was so confused about IE and EA but you made it so clear- thank you!
    49
  717. Thank you soooo much for creating free content for medical students. Many students like me can not afford even low membership fees of websites that have been designed for medical students and your channel is one of the most precious resources for usâ™„â™„â™„đŸ™
    49
  718. Thank you so much for these videos! You explain things so well and you make it engaging and interesting. I can never focus well in my physics lectures and the labs are an absolute joke. Your videos are a huge help because you explain things quickly and concisely and you're enthusiastic. I have a math professor like that too and everyone loves him. Sadly, my physics professor just doesn't know how to be concise or engaging in the slightest. I wish you were teaching my class. :)
    49
  719. I'm an Italian teacher and these are spot on! They are so very helpful and I feel so fortunate to have found them...GRAZIE MILLE!!!!
    49
  720. Man, you deserve so much to be Big. Just keep going, i've found your channel last week and you're already my go to teacher on youtube.
    49
  721. Thankyou professor Dave i was waiting for this series😍
    49
  722. 1) 02:50 - 04:43 Whoa, you have explained this topic very easily and understandable :) I was always wondering why we calculate "λ" from exactly this condition: det(A - λ*I)=0. Now I know that, thanks a lot :) 2) 07:53 - 08:24 and 10:12, 11:14 - This is also a very useful knowledge. You not only learn HOW TO CALCULATE, but also EXPLAIN WHY it is calculated exactly that way.
    49
  723. Went from watching your videos in my undergrad to pass classes, to now watching to help study for the MCAT. Grateful for people like you, you make the world a better place!
    48
  724. thank you Professor Dave! I learn math on my own and your videos make my life easier and more fun.
    48
  725. You might not see this Professor Dave, but I literally spent days trying to understand this topic, literally almost no video could help explain it for a person like me. You explained the theory and how to apply this knowledge with such simplicity. This just made my day! Thank you so much Professor dave. You are amazing!
    48
  726. I'm a PhD geochemist who uses computational chemistry to study metal/mineral interactions, plant biochemistry, and isotope geochemisty of biomarkers that could be relevant to finding extraterrestrial life. You not having a PhD is irrelevant, Dave. James Tour doesn't have the expertise or any evidence to back his claims. You are presenting facts based on evidence. Right wingers, creationists, and other hacks like to attack the messengers who are delivering facts that have been reported in the literature. Thanks for standing up for science against creationist nonsense.
    48
  727. As an A&P Student who is struggling with this subject, I have to say, thank you!!! This is the first time calculating a partial pressure has made sense to me!
    48
  728. you are the best thing that has happened to chemistry
    48
  729. Thank you for your hard work professor Dave!
    48
  730. I’m one of Ben’s casual subscribers. I assumed he was slinging real science until one day, roughly a year ago, when I watched a video where he made bad arguments against global warming...and made me...SUSPICIOUS. 😅 I no longer found myself tuning in as much, but still threw one of his videos on every so often. Today I watched one that started with a whiny disclaimer about how YouTube cannot silence him...caught Trump vibes, read through the idiotic comments (an echo chamber for right wing conspiracists), and now that I see what this is all about, I feel thoroughly duped as a viewer. Unsubscribing from Suspicious Observers. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the video!
    48
  731. Totally just subscribed...Science well explained and digestible enough for the non science brain😂.... Awesome! đŸ‘đŸŸ
    48
  732. omgggg I'm gonna cry. I was literally struggling with this and you just saved me with your crystal clear explanations that my lecturer wasn't able to provide. Thank you so much and I hope you can continue making these kinds of awesome videos and keep helping out students.
    48
  733. I watch the ads so that dave gets paid
    48
  734. This is really helping me out with the lab report I forgot I had, thank you!
    48
  735. Thanks, Your explanatory videos are much appreciated đŸ˜ŠđŸŽ‰đŸ€˜đŸż
    47
  736. Just wanted to say, I appreciate what you do here. It's far too often I see even people supporting scientists and in science in general that don't understand how important what you do is. I've been telling people how bad it is that we have flat earthers and this other stuff for as long as I remember hearing about it, basically, and that people need to combat this stuff and I get told by people all the time that it's a waste of time to even talk about it.
    47
  737. Writing engineering physics tomorrow and confidence is rocket high cause of this video... 😊
    47
  738. I'm in the first grade of high school, and you are the first and only person that got me interested in chemistry. I was always interested in physics and biology, but not this. Thank you Dave, you just made me feel smarter.

  739. Dave, when you made the shift to include this type of content, I wasn't sold. My emotional reaction was that of course there are dumb people in the world, and I don't need to pay any attention because I'm not enough of a sucker to fall for the obvious cons like electric universe or young earth. I use the channel to assist me in seeking to further my understanding of as much as I can, as best as I can, and I didn't like that when I viewed the new stuff the shift in content made me feel like I was being both patronized a bit and also expected to join in on some good ol' public point and laugh shaming. I was wrong. I needed to have it shoved in my face exactly just how much noise this post-truth moment in our history is producing, and just how far through humanity that the moment has penetrated. I needed to have it pointed out again and again, till the point of numbness to it, and again and again further, till that numbness transitioned to shock, then faded to incredulity. I took the time to have a few careful conversations with people in my life and discovered that even among my close family and friends there are those who have started to fall for the amplified false consensus that science is dogmatic. These are generationally challenging times, and I'm not certain that the wanna-be aristocracy isn't winning. I now watch every single one of these videos I can, both so that I can reccommend them to the people who need to see them, but also to remind myself just how extremely far the pendulum is trying to swing. This is a fight worth fighting. Thanks for showing me that, Dave. I'll keep fighting with you, in my tiny and mostly insignificant way. Perhaps all of our insignificant actions together can defeat the forces that wish to keep us that way.

  740. Thank you for this video, sir! My vision for beginning a math video series has "everything" you did here: limited review, error-free content focused to match the title, and scripted conversation. I love the graphing technology and the exit ticket. I watched dozens of videos and got very discouraged before arriving at this one. Awesome job!
    47
  741. no way he has a parsec diagram on his arm ahaha thats too much
    47
  742. I just have to thank you for this, you are a good man.
    46
  743. Who are you? You don't seem to be an ordinary person.. you're amazing and extraordinary đŸ™đŸ€
    46
  744. I'm studying plurals in my college course. This was very helpful. I watched it a few times. Many thanks!
    46
  745. Thanks! Engaging videos for my college lab students since we are virtual.
    46
  746. It is 6:38 AM, this is due for today, I'm studying at uni, this problem sheet counts for my finals, you saved my life, thank you so f*cking much!! <3
    46
  747. You are the greatest science teacher on YouTube
    46
  748. I had no idea Dave made music. Had to take a break from this video and jam to simulated sun. Just awesome music, you rock Dave!
    45
  749. Thank you Professor Dave this was epic!

  750. I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian cult (Mormonism). About 25 years ago (I'm now in my 40s) I rebelled, essentially because as a teenager, I didn't want to go to church, wanted to drink beer and was interested in more than singing hymns at scripture group with the opposite sex. This was a very difficult thing to do (understatement) and caused huge friction between me and the rest of my family, and whilst I eventually realised that I never really believed in any of it, it's become more and more apparent to me over time, how the brainwashing and indoctrination (that which the religious constantly accuse the non-religious of) has affected me, and that of my siblings into later life. I have the utmost sympathy for, and understand, how those brought up within that sort of suffocating and controlling environment, find it difficult to impossible to break free from. The imprisonment of the mind that occurs during those formative years is powerful and stays with you. In challenging or leaving you risk complete isolation from your family and those you love, and your peer group, which up until that point has been made up almost exclusively of other church members. I could talk all day about this, but I'd just like to say that Dave's material has become invaluable in countering the current forceful claims of my brother that evolution is BS and abiogenesis is fairy-tales (as he ironically and mockingly likes to put it). I don't claim to fully understand all of it, but I think this is crucial in pushing back against this sort of misinformation online. Unsurprisingly I've seen multiple times past friends and peers within the church 'go astray' in their teens, as I did, only to return as committed and vociferous exponents of the church as adults, and its absurd claims, which only seems to confirm that the indoctrination is powerful and complete. To give you a flavour of what I had to go through, I was told that because I was an apostate, all of my family would go to the highest tier of heaven (they believe there's three of them), and I would be relegated to the lowest tier, and would have to spend eternity on my own, whilst they would all be having a good old time enjoying the top tier benefits, whilst being all sad because I wasn't with them. This is one of the guilt trips they teach young and impressionable kids. Keep it up, Dave.
    45
  751. I was not understanding this at ALL before I watched this video. You are a master of Ochem!
    45
  752. I appreciate the free physics lessons here. I absolutely love physics! This isn't much, but go buy some coffee or something to help replace the brain cells you lost "reasoning" with this guy.
    45
  753. If it counts for anything, I have a phd in theoretical chemistry and Dave thoroughly mops the floor with Dr. Tour. It’s quite astonishing how narrow-mindedly but yet confidently a scientist can approach fields outside their own expertise - ending up with completely irrelevant analogies. The rest of us in the figurative lecture hall are cringing in our seats for this one dude who just won’t shut up

    45
  754. Its unbelievable how talented you are at teaching. I've been subscribed for about a year now. From general chemistry, to Bio II to cell bio, and now organic, its outrageous how clear and concise you are. Wish you the best success
    44
  755. You have a serious gift Professor Dave to take complicated subjects and explain in a way that anyone can understand. You are what the late Dr. Sagan was hoping for in terms of science literacy and science education.
    44
  756. You're amazing!!! I'm so happy you started this series because I'm going to study micro next semester and your videos help a lot!! thank you so much!
    44
  757. EXTREMELY well done intro on the biophysical mechanics of addiction. I'm a C.A.C. I (Certified Addiction Counselor) in Georgia, and am gonna email you about maybe using this video in a group and/or lecture, so please keep an eye out. THANKS MUCH PROFESSOR!!
    44
  758. Thank you this really helped me while trying to learn in this pandemic
    44
  759. thank you for posting content like this! us nursing students appreciate it since pharm is only taught briefly but we're expected to know so much of it!
    44
  760. a medical student who's forever thankful you are GREAT sir
    44
  761. I love watching this channel. It makes me even more excited to finish my undergraduate studies so I can move on to Med school
    44
  762. So thankful for your channel. Now to watch this video over and over till my brain remembers it! đŸ€Ł
    44
  763. Good day Prof. Dave, for about 2 years now, I have been watching some of your Chem related podcasts here in YouTube. And this one (you made) on Aromaticity is nice and impressive. You're really a smart Prof. with great teaching skills. My subscription for your YouTube channel is totally worth it. Your chem podcasts are really helpful for some of these chem topics I didn't understand earlier in my classes. Well done on the good works you're doing out here. Many thanks to you.
    43
  764. This may be a long comment as I reacting as I watch! Damn.. So I have been watching Suspicious Observers for over a year now. I do think that solar activity has the greatest impact on earth next to the moon due to its proximity. I'm about 2 minutes into your video, and the manner in which Davidson communicated with you via email is extremely immature and beyond uncalled for. It is one thing to speak immaturely such as in his "salt streams," which I view as humor more than anything. It is another to communicate directly with an individual that way. I fully acknowledge that I am prone to cults because I was raised in one (Pentecostal Christian) and later fell for vegan propaganda in my early 20s which has taken me over a year to heal from. I at least never donated or spent money on Davidson, but I do feel like I have wasted a lot of time. 5 minutes in, and I am disappointed to see that Davidson completely misrepresented the paper concerning radiation prior to earthquakes... I also appreciate the point you made about physics and how one can only extrapolate so far. I remember as a child in the Pentecostal cult, which is a doomsday cult faction within Christianity, I used to be terrified of the Rapture. I would have nightmares of the world coming to an end. The pastor swore up and down every year that we were close to the end and that Jesus was returning, but we were still alive every year. And yet this pastor had nice cars and guilted the congregation into giving him more money. I'm 16 minutes into this video now. I just wanted to say thank you. I've unsubscribed from Suspicious Observers and will not entertain that man anymore.
    43
  765. Learnt more from Professor Dave than three years of A level/GCSE chemistry
    43
  766. I had high expectations after the previous two videos and those expectations were met. Holy hell you're really good at this
    43
  767. Congrats, you have 10 squared likes
    43
  768. In fact, you are the best ..i was facing many problems in my study but with your videos everything is simple and quite easy, thanks a lot
    42
  769. Everyone understands what you say because you don't say what is happening, you say why is it happening, thanks for shared knowledge ❀
    42
  770. I just finished Calculus 1 with an A (your videos saved my grade) and I still don't know how to do this. I hope I finally understand it this time.
    42
  771. I've been hesitant to take the COVID vaccine because of all the contreversey. This video really opened my eyes. Thank you Dave
    42
  772. Thanks for this breakdown. Math is much more fun when rules are broken down and explained first. Props!
    42
  773. CLUELESS!!!! AHHHH! MR. FARINA! Do you remember in your first ever vid about this clown, you said he was respected in his field? It's crazy to see how much respect this guy how thrown down the drain just to keep the DI and other places paying his bills. I guess even knowledgeable scientists have their price.
    41
  774. Super underrated channel
    41
  775. As a physics major, this is one of the best explanations of wave particle duality I have come across, and while I havn't actually messed around with the schrodinger equation yet, i have done the double slit experiment, worked with standing wave equations, ect. This is brilliantly concise and amazingly informative. Thank you sir.
    41
  776. thank you for making education and knowledge accessible for students all around the world! you have helped over a million students feel more confident in chem tests, and you are excellent at explaining complicated textbook terms!!
    41
  777. Today I used your video on neural integration to teach my anatomy class. It had been useful for having my students learning the science and at the same time practicing with scientific English 😊
    41
  778. Hey man, sorry if I come off as a bit aggressive. You seem like a pretty cool dude and you are helping people. I'm honestly just nitpicking.
    41
  779. You’re really helping me getting through midterms! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for more videos on this subject.
    41
  780. You are awesome! I am teaching my daughter perpendicular lines and use your videos as a reference guide when I am setting up my lesson plan with her. I love teaching algebra, but have never been a graphing lines person, but your breakdown helps me be a more effective teacher for her and she’s totally getting it!
    41
  781. Awesome video, dude!! My teacher here in Brazil indicated your videos for us to study more in this quarantine time. You rock man!!!
    41
  782. Thanks so much for this professor Dave! In all honesty I was avoiding this video because I saw it in my recommendations and I thought it would be complex and hard to understand. You explained it all brilliantly and make me excited to learn more about this! I’ll surely be checking out the rest of this series and be doing some reading on this. Have a great day and keep doing what you’re doing please!
    41
  783. your videos are literally the best source of information, and best explanation of chem concepts that I have found. They are detailed, yet not overwhelming, and the comprehension checks at the end are Au!
    40
  784. Straight up had a dream Prof. Dave broke into my house at night to teach me physics
    40
  785. I don't know if you'll see this Dave, but I really can't thank you enough for what you do for the science community. Because of people like you, I'm able to intelligently explain why creationists are wrong. I grew up in an evangelical conservative household where the mere thought of believing science over their religion would have gotten me punished. I didn't feel like I had a voice growing up and you've really helped me feel like I have, not only the ability, but the right to speak up and defend objective scientific facts. Sending love from the hell hole that is Oklahoma. I hope I get the privilege of meeting you one day.
    40
  786. I just discovered your channel today while I was searching for info on electrophotometry for my lab class... These videos are amazing I learned like a bunch of things I didn't get at school thanks for your hard work, professor.
    40
  787. Bro i literally JUST learned this in my summer lecture today. You come in clutch Professor Dave.
    40
  788. I saw you shared your video about the stellar life cycle and it reminded me that I need to catch up on this playlist! I absolutely love your content man!
    40
  789. Professor Dave actually made Calculus 2 fun.......this is insane, thank you so much!
    40
  790. I'm in college algebra and I was seriously struggling with this. I did not get a good grasp from my professor. I watched videos from my online textbook, khan academy, and multiple random vids on youtube before I found yours. Thanks so much for the concise explanation!
    40
  791. I have been so stuck on my homework with this subject - It finally clicked! Thank you!
    40
  792. 5 years ago Dave sounds so calm. Like he still imagines a world where applying logical content to idiot's brains could change their mind. None of the dead inside scolding condescension of a man who just fights an unwinnable fight because it's the right thing to do.
    40
  793. Was just going through Organic Chemistry when the notification bell rang and there was our Professor, as always helping me out😁 Best wishes!
    39
  794. I feel like I’m going to be watching you a ton next semester in physics. Studying to be a radiation therapist :)
    39
  795. This is very helpful thank you for posting Professor Dave
    39
  796. He deserves more recognition! He makes everything so easy to understand. You're doing a great job, professor Dave!
    39
  797. It feels like yesterday that you had 100k subs, been following you since those days and I still watch your videos. Thank you so much for carrying me through a lot of hard subjects with your really good explaining techniques and good visual presentations. Can you please do more med school stuff?
    39
  798. I really thought it was flat, but now I don't anymore - thanks to this great video - thanks professor Dave - you gave me the facts I need.
    39
  799. My son is 8. He likes science, enjoys debunking videos and I have finally got him into your channel (when he's not playing fortnite, lol). You really do have the perfect channel. You are the GOAT at debunking pseudoscience bullshit AND you are a good teacher of ACTUAL science.... just the perfect channel all around. And please debunk more flat-earthers, you are GREAT at it.
    39
  800. His vids are the best and most uncomplicated on YouTube
    39
  801. I appreciate the work that you do. There is sooooo much I don't understand about chemistry, but I learn a little bit with every video. I also bought your book, and I'm really enjoying it, especially rereading the parts that are over my head. I'm slowly beginning to gain a better understanding, and you are largely responsible for teaching an old dog some new tricks. Thank you, Dave. I appreciate you.
    39
  802. just dropping by to say thank you for this series! i've been looking to study these topics independently as a hobby but i was always overwhelmed by the mountains of information i had to sift through. being guided through the basics has been the most helpful thing! many cheers, professor!
    39
  803. You make me love maths more and more your explanations are so clear easy to understand prof Dave thank you đŸ™đŸŸ
    39
  804. Dave your material is so well well organized for class room work and tests
    39
  805. Thank you for this! I seriously never learned to derive the quadratic formula in HS. I always just did it. But now I LOVE knowing the whys of math. Thank you!!
    39
  806. The dislikes are from the math professors that could not do as good of a job of explaining these concepts as you did. In all seriousness, these videos are amazing and I will definitely be visiting them frequently
    38
  807. I know that you get that kind of comments everyday and by few people, I don't expect you to even see it, let alone read it. But anyways I want to write that in case you do. I stumbled upon your channel just 3 months ago and I can't get enough of you. I love your attitude towards these frauds, being angry at ignorance and mad at scammers shows that you really care about science and truth, I feel the same if someone does similar things in IT field. After some point you just break, there is enough dumb scams you can hear before you start to do something about it even that you know 99% of these people can't change. I came short of your videos, 3 months were enough to watch everything but with your upload schedule every other day I have something amazing to watch. Thank you and I feel bad that I'm watching it for free, I promise you Dave at the time I get a job (unluckily 6 months of internship weren't paid) I'll donate to you as much as I can for everything you taught me and for all of the laughs you provided which had made my days. Also I started learning English 2 years ago and it's amazing that I can understand advanced scientific concepts because you teach them in a expanded (as in not that basic) but easily understandable way that I feel like 13/14yo natives with elementary physics knowleddge would get them without any problems. YOU ARE JUST A GOAT.
    38
  808. Damn the best teacher in the history of all my physics teachers I think I’m bout to pass heheh
    38
  809. Excellent video Professor Dave. As a mathematician / mathematical physicist, I have been angered by the misappropriation of physical concepts by the woo-peddling brigade. There is a significant amount of misunderstanding of quantum theory, even by people who work in the field (and in particular, the limitations arising from the Copenhagen interpretation). The misunderstanding arises because the evolution of a quantum state is not unitary if we restrict attention to a subsystem which interacts with the rest of universe during a measurement. The density matrix formulation both explains how the Copenhagen interpretation arises (with the correct probabilities, and the "collapse of the wave function"), in a way that evolves continuously (implementing decoherence), while preserving unitary evolution of the quantum state of the universe as a whole. (An analogy is that a rotation in three dimensions, if restricted to a plane may look like lengths are preserved if the rotation is that plane (isolated quantum system), but a rotation out of the plane has a projection that shortens lengths (measurement operation, interaction with the rest of the niverse). Thus the restriction of the evolution to the subspace is not unitary, and information about the vector out of the plane is needed to fully describe the state. If that information is not known, we can make a probabilistic interpretation of the evolution, this is the analogy of the density matrix approach). This makes the understanding of the double slit experiment much easier (specifically when the detector is switched on). The results of the double slit experiment are best understood using the concept of decoherence. If we examine an isolated system (no detector) the evolution of the quantum system and that the rest of universe are independent, and as such an initial pure quantum state evolves to a pure state given by applying the Schrödinger equation. The interference pattern is a result of the wavefunction being decomposed into two parts (comprising of the particle passing through each of the slits) and recombining on the far side with different phases. This is the wavelike behaviour. In the presence of a detector, the situation changes. The system and the environment (rest of the universe) are no longer isolated from each other and information can flow between the two (indeed, a detector is not a detector unless this is so). If we try to analyse the quantum system in this context, we are restricting attention to a subsystem of the universe, the equations that govern the evolution in that case are best described by a density matrix formalism (e.g., Master equation in the Lindblad form), this allows a pure quantum state to evolve to a mixed state and for information to be passed out of the system (and its entropy to increase). This evolution is non-unitary. In the density matrix formalism the detector forces the off-diagonal terms (in a suitable basis of eigenstates of the operator associated with the detector) to tend to zero very rapidly, the resulting density matrix is interpreted as a probabilistic mixture of quantum states which are no longer capable of interfering with each other (due to the vanishing of the off-diagonal term). This gives rise to the particle-like pattern in this case. In short, there is no mystery about the double slit experiment from a quantum mechanical viewpoint and no requirement of consciousness (human or otherwise) to be involved. The truth is that the quantum state of the universe evolves unitarily but that non-unitary evolution arises inevitably when a non-isolated subsystem is under consideration. I made a video going through the mathematics of the double slit experiment in great detail (deriving the pattern) on my channel for those interested in seeing the details.
    38
  810. You are amazing! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS I WILL INDEED USE IT FOR MY CLASS TOMORROW FOR COSMETOLOGY
    38
  811. This guys nickname should be “Wrong Swanson”
    38
  812. Hey Dave, just wanted to say I'm a big fan. Not just of your tutorials, but of your vehement defense of science against pseudoscience. Sagan would be proud of you.
    38
  813. Always the best explanations are found in your channel.You're doing a great job by helping many.
    37
  814. Just bought your book on Audible. Really looking forward to listening to it! Keep up the good work, Professor Dave 👍
    37
  815. Hi Dave. I’m 27 years old who’s a vehicle mechanic and never been to college. 5:03 Is there really a sex party induction? If so, I must be missing out
 đŸ˜…đŸ˜‚đŸ€ŁKidding, I’m kidding! But seriously, it doesn’t take a genius(no offense) to know that the Earth is and always has been a sphere with Antarctica at the South Pole, not some dillusional, disproven disc surrounded by a supposed continental ice wall, with a cult of slackjaws that need a re-education.
    37
  816. hey man you are doing great keep making such videos. i dont why you get less views. but keep doing this you are really inspiring me and my friends to learn.
    37
  817. Arguing against conmen as well as providing excellent science videos that I use in class and also to educate myself! Excellent work! Thanks Dave!
    37
  818. I wish I had your ability to communicate effectively even when angry. So thankful for your efforts in science communication. I used to watch her videos, but stopped watching years ago because I noticed she started talking about non physics stuff too much, and was trying to be “edgy”. Had no idea she fully jumped the shark into science denial.
    37
  819. Thanks!
    37
  820. Thank you for these videos! I've been having so much trouble in my 200 level Physics class, it's been driving me INSANE! These are a great overview of key topics!
    37
  821. What I was trying to understand for few hours now, you explained clearly under two minutes. You are very talented. Keep up the good work!
    36
  822. I wish math teachers used these methods around the world; we would still have math haters; but those who really wanted to learn would have a much easier time.
    36
  823. Hey Dave, raised hardcore fundamentalist Christian. I come back to this video every couple months so that I keep it memorized. More than once I have been asked how I could possibly believe in the big bang and I just quote you verbatim hahaha. You are one of the main reasons I was able to escape the doctrine. Thankyou :)
    36
  824. I'm going! This will be epic!
    36
  825. I know it’s currently trendy, but your two flat earth debunk videos where the best attack on the anti-science movement I’ve yet seen on YouTube. Even out of all the popular debunkers out there who produce weekly content on it. You just communicated the points so brilliantly with the perfect level of sarcasm. Anything that attacks anti-science/conspirational thinking would be amazing as it frightens me how it’s taken hold.
    36
  826. Thanks Professor Dave, these charlatans need to be held to account. Would love the see a debate with Deepak, but I fear the Gish gallop and nonsensical wordplay from him would make it an exercise in futility
    36
  827. The fact the DI is still paying clowns to come here and post insults towards Mr. Farina is the clearest sign Farina did significant damage to their egos. 👍👍👍
    36
  828. i got déjà vu watching this and i just realised why you helped me pass chemistry last year and now you're helping me with my italian
    36
  829. I canÂŽt even count the AHA moments IÂŽve had watching your vidoes
    36
  830. My personal favorite is Only Bad Astronomers Forgot Generally Known Mnemonics
    36
  831. You're a king. At this point I probably owe you my first born child because of how often you've saved me :)
    36
  832. You are a magical legend of a man who flattens the flat Earthers and helps me with my Algebra homework. Thank you, Professor Dave.
    36
  833. I'm enjoying your teaching process.
    36
  834. You have no idea how much I do appreciate "this" video! I almost quit linear algebra until I find your video. Thank you so much.
    36
  835. You literally just saved my physics test. Thank you.
    36
  836. So far this playlist has been amazing! I'm looking forward to watching the rest.
    36
  837. Thankyou for the video on Phase Changes, Heats of Fusion and Vaporization, and Phase Diagrams.-Alexis Kironde
    36
  838. Feels like you know exactly what I'm studying at any given point 😁
    35
  839. Basically Teddy actually was the man that L. Ron Hubbard only pretended to be.
    35
  840. My only favourite teacher in this entire universe..... I understand everything by listing it once and my school knowledge takes about 2 to 5 readings, thank you to let me imagine and learn about the universe 🌟🌟🌟
    35
  841. Is it just me or is the peak of "Mt. Stupid" (Dunning-Kruger land) rising exponentialy in 21st century?
    35
  842. Your videos are explained so well! Thank you! The time put into these animations really reflects the viewers ability to understand it as well! Keep it up! Also this unit is actually pretty interesting. I never thought I would hear myself say math is interesting but seeing how calculus finally folds out is kinda cool.
    35
  843. I'm only on 4:26 and this is already so informative and reinforcing my knowledge, thank you so much!
    35
  844. Between your arse whopping with James Tour and this- looks like I have no excuse not to support on Patreon now. Thanks for promoting education, rationality, and empathy in society!
    35
  845. Finally getting into amateur astronomy and this playlist is everything I needed!đŸ€“ My oh my the universe is fascinating đŸ€© Thanks Professor!
    35
  846. I'm getting really tired of the tone policing of Dave, even the subtler tone policing, "That's not how I would have done it." For one thing, Tour was constantly screaming and lying during the debate, and I'm frankly impressed that Dave stayed as calm and poised as he did under those circumstances. Second, Tour and his followers are ideologically driven to remain willfully ignorant on OoL research. If calm, purely research-base discourse was an effective way to convince this crowd, then they would have already been convinced by the thousands of researchers doing amazing work every day in the OoL field. No, this crowd needs to be shocked out of their willful ignorance; it's the only thing that might get them to realize how inappropriately and embarrassingly they are behaving. Keep up the good work, Dave. đŸ’Ș🧑‍🔬
    35
  847. Professor Dave you are an angel ! You are my hero. I so absolutely only wish good things for you. You saved me. I am taking a thermodynamics class and I was completely lost on the vdWaals equations at 5:30. I just learned how its the same equation just rearranged. I dont know how I did not see it, I am a little dumb when it comes to this topic. But its people like you that make it so much easier to understand. I have been stuck on this for 10 hours and you just explained it to me in 5 minutes. I know we are just strangers on the internet but I fucking love you.

  848. During my undergrad degree, best prof in youtube. Still the best, pursuing my MA degree rn.

  849. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week Dave! We all appreciate what you do! I hope your week is awesome! 👏
    35
  850. Dave. Wanted to send you a message saying thanks. These debunking videos are fun to watch, but I also wanted to tell you that your science information videos are a great public service
    35
  851. You are a humble dude to sit there and take their disrespect after asking for respect from you. Also, moog synth in the back is a win đŸ‘đŸ»
    34
  852. If there's anyone reading the comments from the Space for humanity organization, please let my boi Dave in. He taught me so much. I happen to think I did well in Orgo because he helped!
    34
  853. You can't believe how much i appreciate this. I really want to learn math all over again but i was so lost on what book to read or when to start untill i found this channel. Thank you so much for making these !
    34
  854. I was the questioner at 1:48:46 (right after Aron Ra). I was pleased that James felt the need to continue his rambling non-answer for 45 seconds past the allotted minute. Dave, I hope you enjoy my gift from the subsequent meet & greet <3
    34
  855. I found out who you were through your flat earth videos, stayed for the ones that are saving my ass in high school. God bless.
    34
  856. Thank you smmmm!!! You're honestly physics Jesus who's going to help me more than my physics teacher ever will for HSC
    34
  857. Dave, I love you dude. I am reviewing A Level physics after graduating with a physics degree 11 years ago and I've forgotten everything. You explain everything so well, it's amazing. Thanks a bunch!
    34
  858. hey professor dave, as someone that has trouble just reading stuff without seeing things like the animations, i want to say thank you even now like 4 years later as a pre-med student i can say i actually stand a chance of winning awards at my university all beacause of the major boost in assimilation of lectures using your videos so thanks, keep rocking and stay true.

  859. I was subscribed to actualized.org, for about 1 year when the content was pretty normal. Here is how I view the situation. I think that the guy (Gura) started in good faith, without planning to become a cult leader. His first content was quite rational and discussed normal self-actualization topics, including meditation practice (what I was interested in). Then he had a sudden derailment as he started to trip regularly on psychedelics as a "shortcut to enlightenment", and in particular on 5-MeO-DMT, which is said by many sources to have the most intense effect on deactivating the brain circuits that generate and regulate the function of the "self". This experience of "ego death" is often described as the dissolution of any difference between anything that exists and anything that is present in the mind, so that "you are nothing and you are everything". This can happen also by meditation. Problem is that the meditation gives you a context to integrate this experience, as just an experience which gives you clarity on the actual functioning of the mind. In "healthy" tradition, it does not lead to negate any form of reality nor giving you delusional metaphysical beliefs. Insted, if/when this state is experienced from a solypsistic and self-delusional (maybe paranoid) attitude, you may conclude that there is no external reality and that the consciuous experence IS the reality (and ALL of it). Then you quite naturally go saying that you are God (and God is the universe and the universe is God) and that anything that exist is by definition existing in your consciousness, which is all there is. When you just have a LSD trip, you might believe that you are God for 8 hours, then you come back and that's it. In the case of Leo (who said he used DMT on almost daily basis for weeks and weeks to reinforce this system of beliefs) and many of his followers, the solypsistic attitude is intensified by a shallow study of non-scientific philosophy, belief systems and unsubstantiated Deepak-like "mind theories". They prevent you from inteprteting the "Enlighment-like" DMT and ego-death experience as just another biochemical phenomenon. From here, becoming a crazy cult leader is a small step which might be made even in good faith. Once you justify everything that happens in your mind as manifestation of God, any inconscious and natural attachment and desire (desire to be worshipped, gain power over people, money and sex) kicks in and goes on autopilot. It happens all the time in almost all spiritual circles. See Baghvan Osho or Joshu Sasaki Roshi or dozen of others. Sorry for the length :) Nice video, thank you!
    34
  860. I discovered your channel while I was studying for a test and I just have to say THANK YOU!!
    33
  861. Came for Humor stay for Science lessons. Can you please debunked if any in "Lloyd Pye Everything You Know Is Wrong"? From 1999.
    33
  862. love your videos covering space and all its wonders, keep up the good work!
    33
  863. Love your work Professor Dave but I think I might disagree with you a little bit on the beginning of the Paleozoic being able to have species radiate because there were no predators. During the Ediacaran most animals were soft and that's why there's very few fossils of them but then during the Cambrian you see hard shells on a lot of the animals. Why would animals need to develop hard shells if not to protect from predators? What about Anomalocaris or Opabinia? Did you mean during the neoproterozoic (Edicarian) there were no predators? Predation has been present since single cell prokaryotes otherwise our theory of the development of eukaryotes goes out the window. If I misunderstood your premise I apologize. Thank you again for your great videos!
    33
  864. Based on how quickly part 2 got published after part 1, I'm sure parts 3 and 4 are already well into production. Still, there is one point that I hope you hit on again: Tour's insistence that he is not invoking God or creation when he disparages OoL research. It's something that Tour's acolytes keep parroting in the comments. The fact is that he's actively trying to discredit an entire field of research he is not a part of. The only motivation for doing so that makes any sense is so he can continue to insert his personal god into the gap that still exists. If the field of seismology conflicted with his interpretation of scripture, you can bet he'd have much to say on that field as well. Bottom line, in the broadest possible sense, there's two possibilities for how life arose from non-life. It either happened naturally, or it didn't. If it didn't happen naturally, what choice is left?
    33
  865. Just As always , the best courses in the world
    33
  866. Indeed you deserved to be called my talented online professor, I am enjoying a lot from your turtorials.
    33
  867. These videos are under-rated. They are very informative.
    33
  868. Most of your commenters COMPLETELY miss the point of Dave's video. Dave is critiquing Sabine's method of communication to the public about academia's problems. He is NOT dismissing the fact that academia has problems, far from it, as he has stated in this and multiple other videos of his that academia has fundamental problems such as obscenely high tuition rates and false academics. The thing that Sabine is doing wrong is when she makes these videos critiquing academia, her titles and thumbnails lead suggestible people to completely distrust academia. This is NOT FOR DEBATE, this is what is happening. Sabine's method of critiquing academia is not adequate, and gives the growing anti-science rhetoric some credence which humanity simply cannot afford. Dave is absolutely correct when he says that anti-science sentiment will be the end of humanity. We are witnessing it seep through politics right now in the way of anti-vax and climate change. There are people literally calling for violence to meteorologists for manufacturing a fucking hurricane. When Sabine said in her comment that this minority of people aren't a huge problem, she's dead wrong. Also, don't take this video as a science communicator going after another science communicator. Take it as a peer-review of content. Sabine's content has a conflict of interest going on, and this video is addressing that problem. If Sabine is wise, she would listen and change her style to best fit what a science communicator should do. This is NOT to say that Sabine should stop critiquing academia, but she needs to change the approach she addresses such criticisms. Rant over.
    33
  869. "Alt-health" lol. I'm gonna use this.
    33
  870. Super helpful!! I'm taking a chem course in college and this helped me understand how the material I've learned is connected! Thanks
    33
  871. It feels so good to have completed all of this. Never would have believed I'd have gone through a full algebra course so long after leaving school as I've always seen maths as a bit of a blind spot, but I feel so much more confident in going onto more complex maths now. I can't thank you enough Prof Dave. You are a hero!
    32
  872. Your explanations are otherworldly!
    32
  873. I know this vid is 4 months old but I wanted to say thanks for the great debunk. I followed Ben’s channel for quite a while before I decided to fact check his claims. Once I had a sniff it was abundantly clear the guy is totally full of it. I was drawn to his channel because he had Robert Schoch on a live stream, I’ve found Robert’s theories about the Sphinx in Egypt intriguing
 Problem is having guests such as Schoch who actually has academic credentials lends some credibility to Ben’s theories. Someone needs to have a word to Robert so that doesn’t happen again! This guy really needs to be exposed, his channel has 500k followers! He’s not just scamming folks, he’s scaring people. Shameless and despicable! Thanks again Professor Dave
    32
  874. I have generated many synaptic transmissions via watching this video. My neurons thank you! ^.^
    32
  875. Love that AronRa showed up! Thanks for enduring this torture for the greater good Dave!
    32
  876. 30:07 Sounds like Bruce was taking the actions someone might consider, if they were being chased or harassed by a crazed lunatic.. Anything to tell them what they want to hear and deescalate the situation, as you slowly back away.
    32
  877. can't decide if he is Science Jesus or Chem Guevara
    32
  878. Thanks! I used to follow her. Have listened to a lot of her videos. When she started using the victimization routine. I stopped. Just another Jesus routine. "I'm the only one who knows. I'm the only one who can do anything about it. " "follow me and you shall be free"....."đŸŽ‰đŸ˜‚â€đŸ˜‚đŸŽ‰đŸ˜‚â€đŸ˜‚
    32
  879. This is HANDS down the best explanation I've heard and I've almost watched every video on YouTube and have many books. Books by Degrasse, Hawking, R.Dawkin, L.Randall and S.Simon. you've beat out those guys on the best brief description
    32
  880. Thank you so much - once again, you've made a complex topic so clear. I love augmenting my class material with your videos. and they've been a lifesaver!
    31
  881. Hey Proof. Dave ... Haven't forgotten about my promised donation to you for your help with orgo chem in general. It's been a few months. There has been a major delay in my tax returns. The beloved IRS. Anyway will be sending you something soon. It was to be in March but that wasn't the case. I continue to be a huge fan of the science you bring to Life via you tube !
    31
  882. Thank you. Have been watching your DNA videos to supplement my biology class at UT in Arlington. Work in Engineering for the VA hospital and decided to study nursing. Thank you for clarifying!
    31
  883. Dave, you have helped many people see through the bullshit. Fortunately I am one of them... Looks like I got lawyered by Ben... He talked the end of days and I was enwrapped. However, I'm not going to just take this guy's word for it right? I'll have to dig in and confirm his thoughts. Your video is the answer I've been looking for. Thank you for digging into his horse gobble
    31
  884. tthank you so much for making this video I really had no idea where to start with these problems
    31
  885. Thank you sir for these organic chemistry classes . It is very helpfull during this lockdown periods.. From India
    31
  886. was so frustrated in my bio lecture and this 6 mins video helped me understand EVERYTHING in 6 mins that I have to comment thank you huhu
    31
  887. aaaaa god bless you!!!!! i had to study about 200 slides based on this but you managed to make me understand so much better :(( you are amazing professor dave!!!
    31
  888. After seeing this I think in India only focus is on how to put values on formula... many teachers actually don't know why they are doing so... You are doing great job..keep it up sir
    31
  889. I did my thesis and my PhD on TLR4! 😍 Really loved this video, concise but very informative
    31
  890. Hey Dave. I have a decent amount of debates under my belt with YEC types. I've never debated Hovind, but I am pretty sure I can give you a couple of tips to help in these types of debates. Please DM me. I'll just leave a few pointers here, but if you DM I can send you a text file or power point with a lot of things to bring up. Here's just a few: First of all realize you're talking to his audience, not him. He's a con man, you won't convince him. But, if you make you're points crystal clear, you can and will get through to some of his audience. It's of supreme importance to remain polite and civil at all times. You can be making the best points and the most logical arguments, but if his (or any other persons) audience views any type of snide or rude comment, however minor, they can very easily dismiss you're actual argumentation. Bible Stuff: I often use my biblical knowledge against YEC since I was raised Jewish, reading the O.T. in Hebrew and it's one of my mother tongues (Modern Hebrew is, but Biblical Hebrew is much simpler than Modern Hebrew). You're a science guy so I don't think this would appeal to you, but there are really really good reasons why Jews don't go to church; Christians fundamentally misunderstand the Jewish Scriptures. The more fundamentalist the Christian, the more they misunderstand the Old Testamant. Again, DM me and I can send you lots of info. I'm an Atheist FWIW, but understanding the religion upon which their faith is based and exploiting their misunderstandings is a powerful tool. Science Stuff: Ken't always, for DECADES, uses the "dogs produce dogs" line. You need to just explain a nested hierarchy in the simplest terms people can understand. I use folders on a computer as an analogy. Animals are the C:\ folder an the farther you go into vertebrates, mammals, apes, etc. the more folders you're putting inside each other. So dogs will always produce dogs, just like anything in C:\animals\vertibrates\mammals\ will always be a subset of the animals folder and C:\. This can be worded much better, but I hope the concept is clear. History Stuff: Make Kent go on the offense. Kent loves playing defense, he'll tell you what he doesn't believe but he rarely will tell you what he does believe aside from "dogs produce dogs" or "animals bring forth after their kind". An example would be that YEC's must believe in a hyper form of evolution because explaining fossils, not even ancient ones, just fossils from the last ice age (like ground sloths, neanderthals, denisovans or any extinct human species actually) all needs to be explained in a 6,000 year timeline. How can he account for the tremendous varieties of different types of human like creatures from Heidelbergensis to Floriensis. These would have to had existed at the same time as extant humans. He needs to account for history, as in we have buildings and civilizations that have been in use for more than 6,000 years. Anway this is just a sort of off the cuff rant, but I've seen you debate a few times and you said you'd like to be more of a public figure, and I think you should be - you're an extremely gifted science communicator. I've been in this space (philosophical, theological debating) for about 7 years now and I actually think I could help you quite a bit. Feel free to DM me anytime.
    31
  891. First minute: I'm a big & long-time fan of Dave Farina; however, I can't include him as a tranquil science commincator such as Sagan or Nye. Dave passionately burns more than other popular science communicators. It's like comparing soft drinks with hard alcohol. Surely, Sagan & Nye have their moments of tough talking, but Dave goes all in with the tough talking without crossing the line of basic respect for his fellow humans. I don't think he's as eloquent as Hitchens (is anyone as eloquent as that man? RIP), but what Dave lacks a bit in eloquence is made up by his broad understanding of science and his remarkable defiance against anti-science.
    31
  892. Once I'm able to get some money together after I finish Med School, I'd bend over backwards to support your channel because I don't think I'd be here without your Organic Chem and Biochem videos!
    31
  893. I'm a sophomore in highschool and in biology we took a biochem basics test and I made a 40 and it's worth 50% of our grade, we get to retake it tomorrow and your videos are making me confident I'm going to pass
    30
  894. It's a shame that this video doesn't even have half a million views :/ This was very informative and you've helped me with a better understanding of my own skeletal structure. I'm not trying to be a doctor or anything but...Knowledge is power. So thanks again.
    30
  895. Said it before, say it again. That Scorpio-Grimes-Millhouse portrait is off the hook.
    30
  896. Thanks! For going back and forth with me, I know you probably got a million other things you can do. So thanks
    30
  897. Thanks for everything Professor Dave. I have been a subscriber for a long time. Also, please never stop making these amazing videos!
    30
  898. I am so mad I took a flight down there from NYC to be at the Debate and because he "reserved" so many seats I couldn't get in I was a few people behind Aron Ra glad he got in love your work Dave you are great I listen to all your stuff while working and gaming my wife thinks I am weird that i listen to your science stuff alot lol
    30
  899. I love ur way of explaining professor... am big fan than just student
    30
  900. loving the uptick in debunking content dave. when will you get around to debunk the tripe of Ayurveda, homeopathy and other nonsense like the kind sadhguru spews?
    30
  901. Professor Dave you deserve the best, you supply education to those who don’t understand in class and also those who can’t afford tutors all for free. There is no way I can thank you enough for all your help you are the reason I pass my exams thank you for your priceless help
    30
  902. OMYGASH! I LOVE YOU! I HAVE SPENT AN HOUR FINDING THE RIGHT EQUATION. THIS IS SO AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ♄
    30
  903. Watching through all the testimonials, it made me emotional, so I can only imagine how great it'd have made you feel seeing how many people you have helped. Congrats on the 10 years! Here's to many more.
    30
  904. Dear Dave. I just finished watching the video where you trash a flat earth bald guy. Then realized, by googling your name, that you are the same dave that refreshes my physics back from college, gives me useful tips to address my own teaching and reminds me why I was trapped by the wonder of science. I usually turn to your channel when the traffic on Mexico City wants to drawn me, and you give a good amount of oxygen to the situation. On behalf of my students, my kids and miself, thank you for your kind and serious dedication to explain things. You make the world a better place.
    30
  905. Because of your tutorials, I’m able to get into my ADHD-fueled, obsessive rabbit holes about cool space facts. Thank you, Professor Dave. Real random question: I love looking at pictures of nebulae taken with MIRI/NIR/Ultraviolet cameras to see each detail (unseen stars in the background unobscured by dust, particles, etc). Out of curiosity, What would those nebulae look like from a naked eye POV if hypothetically we were in a spacecraft close to those nebulae? Would we see a lot of dust surrounding those nebulae and light from forming stars lighting up the dust in their centers? I apologize if this question is confusing but I’ve always wondered.
    30
  906. I just graduated with my undergrad and I had never thought of the different spatial orientation view... The way you explain things makes so much sense! Thank you!
    30
  907. As a Trump supporter, I object to this piece. There are too many facts and not enough biased opinions.
    29
  908. Thanks a lot... I used to hate organic chemistry.... But because of you I'm starting to get better.... Professor dave, you the real MVP!!
    29
  909. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting up all these SUUUPER helpful videos. I understand so much more because of you, and am feeling inspired by chemistry instead of dreading it!!!
    29
  910. Professor Dave, I can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into making this content. I can assure you it‘s been very helpful for students all over the world ! I‘ve recently started a quantum chemistry course at university and came to understand it better after watching your series. If you are interested, please make a video on experimental application of quantum mechanics (for example, Hartree-Fock approximation) or elaborate on various interpretations of quantum mechanics (I find the many-world interpretation particularly mind -blowing :). Thank you in advance!
    29
  911. The best lectures on YouTube that I could find.. Straight to the point; very clear with the concepts and very very helpful. Thanks a lot sir. Keep going and all the very best..
    29
  912. This makes sense?! You put my math teacher to shame
    29
  913. Hi Dave. I check out your stuff all the time. I am very entertained by your attacks on pseudoscience. Keep it up.
    29
  914. In a country full of pea-brained maga dopes
be a liberal with Dave’s demeanor! No, seriously, this is what we need in politics. We need to stop softballing everything and start telling it like it is. Professor Dave has come a long way since the JLP interview. I wish he had this energy back then against Jesse and Ida probably been pulled from the maga echo chamber a lot sooner!
    29
  915. Thanks for this thorough and exhaustive video. I will show my kids this when they are older to learn to spot this kind of ID rubbish.
    29
  916. I've come across your videos just recently and am so happy I did; thank you SO MUCH for you crystal clear understanding of these concepts!!
    29
  917. Best explanation ever. This has helped me a lot with Simple Harmonic Motions and Theoretical mechanics.
    29
  918. Yep Professor Dave’s paying me to be here 😂😂😂. I love watching you bury the frauds. Hope he fires back for more video’s from you. Cheers from Australia.
    29
  919. Excellent, concise breakdown
    29
  920. I had already said so a couple days ago but I feel the need to say it again now that the debate is up on your channel. Nice job Dave.
    29
  921. Thanks! I need a drunk Dave debunking deranged dunces. Cheers. I got Talisker.
    29
  922. Excellent explanation, much more useful than the lectures at university. Appreciate that.
    28
  923. >'Why do you bring God into this!?' >Meanwhile 'JesusAndScience' in top left corner:
    28
  924. Thanks!
    28
  925. First! Thank you for these contents we appreciate you so much. You are an amazing teacher. You are changing students’ life; we are all thriving because of you.
    28
  926. Dear Dave, I really love your content. I am going to start studying biochemistry in Oktober, and I often watch your educational videos and your videos debunking pseudoscience. Can i get a comment heart?
    28
  927. This video was so informative. Thank you again Prof. Dave ! I'm taking Physics II now, and i'm getting so interested in waves. Physics I was such a bore in comparison
    28
  928. He is also the reason why over 70% of undergrads in first year chemistry/physics passed there exams, he explaineds confusing material so well, thanks professor dave
    28
  929. I can't stress this enough.... THANK YOU
    28
  930. Man, your calculus playlist is the friggin best! Thank you sm <3
    28
  931. I literally watched this video right before my organic chemistry exam and it saved my life, thank you Dave!!
    28
  932. Man let me tell you , you are highly talented covering almost everything...Hats off to you sir. And yes , happy new year
    27
  933. This is a high yield biochem topic on the MCAT and I’ve yet to see a clear and concise video covering the basics until now. Thanks for the years of help!
    27
  934. I love your content. I've been watching all of your debunk videos for some years now, not just the flat earth ones. But as a black man, I'll never forgive you for posting this during black history month. 😂😂 Now I gotta remember that this clown got dunked on for the foreseeable future. 😂😂 Keep exposing these clowns.
    27
  935. Thank you so much! You made inverse functions easier than my professor did.
    27
  936. Wow, this was super helpful!! The way you explained it and made it so simple makes me feel dumb for not getting it in the first place😂
    27
  937. Dear Dave. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. A complete and articulate video like this takes a lot of time and effort to put together. Your efforts are recognized and valued. I've been a fan of SO and even got the app. (I drank the KoolAid). I really appreciate your disambiguation of his crazy conflations. You did it with style and class. I realize this video of yours is a public service announcement and no-one is paying you to do it. I'm sincerely grateful of your thoughtfulness and consideration.
    27
  938. I ❀ the way you explain the lesson step by steps and very clearly . You makes it easy for the student to clearly understand the concepts
    27
  939. After 11 years I just completed my PhD in British Literature. I can feel your frustration in dealing with nonsense like this. Thanks for the laughs. I recently bought your book. Is there other way to support your work?
    27
  940. The "down" rant starting at 32:18 is worth ÂŁ5 of anyone's money. Glorious
    27
  941. I'm in pharmacy school. I loved your videos for my pre-req classes like organic chemistry and biology so I am thankful you did these as well! Thank you!
    26
  942. I'm currently tutoring some of my friends AP Physics 1 and C: Mechanics, because of your vids, my tutoring is much MUCH easier then it initially was!! You deserve much more views and subs!
    26
  943. This is one of the wildest debates I've ever seen. Dave- you fucking crushed it we need more people like you. You have a special talent for exposes pseudoscientists & hucksters, and while your youtube work is impressive- I don't think there's many people out there who can do what you did in a live setting. Your calm demeanor & tenacity in showing what a liar he is clearly got to him and by the end he really came across as an obvious grifter
    26
  944. Thanks, Dave. I'm a faithful Catholic, which is no way inconsistent with my belief in science and the work scientists have done 'forever'!! I DO sometimes wonder if God thinks, "Oh, Me...what an eejit!!" about some people.
    26
  945.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  @Dave here is my analysis of QF63 Sydney to Johannesburg . https://youtu.be/1OqMSAPHUOM ps, Wolfie funded this trip, and it was offered to various flat earthers and they said "no".
    26
  946. Professor Dave! I have been watching your videos for at least a year now. You got me an A- in Gen Chem 2, are currently helping me ace Organic Chem 1, and microbiology! THANK YOU. YOU ARE THE BEST <3 I only wish you were my actual microbio professor, then I wouldn't be so darn confused.
    26
  947. Oh great i got here early enough that dave might read my comment!!! Here is my chance! Dont blow it johnny
. Hi dave:)
    26
  948. He knows a tot about science stuff
    26
  949. Genuinely some of your best work ever. I've watched tutorials of yours for subjects I already have qualifications in, just because of how enlightening and yet still concise they are, but the background information for this video is on a completely different level.
    26
  950. Kudos to you man! You are the best explainer of science on the Internet. Not like Fermilab PHD guy who can talk for 10 minutes without really saying anything. You need to be hired to write a school books!
    26
  951. I like your videos. I'm going to a 4 hour test without books or any other help in biochemistry Tuesday morning and I'm watching your playlist about biochemistry and it is really good 😊
    26
  952. Dave, you are 9 kinds of awesome! Keep up the amazing work! The word salad was incredibly difficult to listen to.
    26
  953. Thanks!
    26
  954. A very good explanation sir, you are a solution to my problems in chemistry thanks for the video
    26
  955. I absolutely love this video. It is so good and spot-on that I showed my 12 and 8 year old children the video at breakfast. Sure, the math and science were beyond them for now, but they got it. Yes, “Birds have wings, oceans don’t,” made them laugh. They laughed harder at the idea that people think the Earth if flat. Many questions were asked about how people can “think” this way and what are cults. Then the bus came. Dinner will be fun. Thank you for this. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
    26
  956. It is sad that, in recent years, many cosmologists and astrophysicists have published books demystifying dark matter, the big bang, etc. and putting them into proper scientific terms and promoting critical thinking, admitting what we do and don't know. But news media is using these books to promote that these model are wrong and debunked, producing a horde of people who think everyone else in the world is wrong.
    26
  957. As a graduate student researching these cell types, excellent job making this video Dave!
    26
  958. "I am the math PhD with the largest number of followers on Twitter." When I'm looking for credible sources on any subject, my first step is always to sort by Twitter follower count. Then I eliminate anyone that's not been a guest on Joe Rogan, and ask chatGPT to choose among the remaining names.
    26
  959. Give Dave more comments people. He is awesome!
    26
  960. You didn't just solve my chemistry problem, you solved my life problem! Thanks Professor Dave.
    26
  961. I am from India and I've been your fan for a long time......I just wonder why your videos don't get a millions of likes....
    26
  962. The only reason I pass my Italian classes is because of Professor Dave đŸ’™đŸ˜‚đŸ˜©
    26
  963. Professor dave is a chemistry expert and his videos are helping me cut down my study time by hours. Thank you Dave
    25
  964. Professor Dave, I started watching your Chemistry videos as a freshman in high school, and here I am 5 years later watching your Organic Chemistry videos as a sophomore in college. I am blown away by the way you explain complex topics so simply yet comprehensively. I am feeling more confident about medical school now. Great work as always, and may the best things in life find you wherever you choose to go!
    25
  965. Just realized this was the guy that helped me pass my college biology course. What a diverse channel!
    25
  966. Ahhhhh Professor Dave saves trigonometry students again
    25
  967. Hi Professor Dave, your videos are insightful and helpful. Please keep it up! I'm sure you are helping loads of people in the science and medical fields. :)
    25
  968. The problem is that the media is obsessed with "but both sides" stories, so they constantly set up random kooks as having equally valid opinions as the consensus of the relevant field. Thus, over the past decades, the American public has been trained to disregard the opinions of the experts and just believe whatever they feel like believing.
    25
  969. Man you're genius. Every problem just make sense.
    25
  970. Hai Prof Dave, Im a teacher/ lecturer in chemistry and currently doing my chemistry education masters as well. Thank you so much or your videos. We use ur videos to understand concepts much easier also it helps me in teaching school level students too. Mainly because u touch the fundamentals which even most of the chemistry teachers does not explains. So thank you for helping me to improve my knowledge in chem as well as to be a good teacher in chem. God bless you....
    25
  971. Babe wake up, new Professor Dave debunking Dr Tour just dropped
    25
  972. Thanks, Professor Dave, for giving a base in doing integration! I am now confident to work out any integration problem.
    25
  973. I've watched this so many times now and it still makes me laugh!! Professor Dave, you are my new HERO!! This is absolutely PERFECT and subjectively the greatest and best video on YouTube. Flat Earth objectively and irrefutably debunked. A work of art and genius. THANK YOU Professor. You are awesome
    25
  974. Physics professor here, Eric is charlatan. Yes he is educated in physics and can talk about it at length but he only does so to impress people with big words when he knows they don’t know the terminology he is using. This interview was a perfect example of his grift. He endlessly went off on diatribes about graduate level physics to show how much he knows yet he could not explain why 1x1 does not equal 2. He is unwilling to educate on even the most basic things. His entire brand is showing off his vocabulary to the uneducated and giving them some plausible room to think that this super smart sounding guy who can talk physics terminology is sympathetic to their anti-science nonsense. But if Eric actually did educate his audience they would eventually realize that he is just verbosely reciting standard graduate level textbook information and does not posses any radical insights on physics of his own. He wants to be seen as a revealer of the dangerous hidden physics information that “they” don’t want you to know about so he repackages completely standard modern textbook physics as though you could only learn these truths from him, makes sure to make it as needlessly verbose as possible, and then aligns himself with crazy crackpots in a common struggle against the physics elites. Btw his criticisms of academia are often not wrong, he just selectively uses those criticisms purely to create a self important renegade complex to elevate himself
    25
  975. I am not a chemist, but here my small support for all who can benefit from such videos, more than I do
    25
  976. Beautifully explained. No hyperbole only good scientific information.
    25
  977. I was subscribed to S0 for about 2 years. Diligently watching each new video first thing in the morning and keeping the app on my phone. I did find it annoying that I could never figure out how the app worked. It didn't really tell/show me anything. I would get alerts, but they were never explained. I just attributed it to my phone being crappy or me not being smart enough to understand these complicated scientific ideas. Luckily I just unsubscribed 2 weeks ago. It took his white privilege, trump loving, election tampering is a real thing, conservative rant in the comments section of his January 6th video to get me to pull the plug on him and his conspiracy theories. A few days later YouTube suggested your video and here I am feeling like an idiot for following this garbage science for so long. But still, thank you for confirming that I'm not missing out on anything important.
    25
  978. I am watching your videos since my GSCEs; I moved to the UK when I was younger and it was really hard to study in English. But your videos made so much sense to me, that I was able to get into the uni. Now I am in my last year of Biochemistry course (bachelors) and I am still watching you! I cannot thank you enough. The impact you make is unbelievable <3
    25
  979. Thank you so much Dave! This video helped me fully understand something I couldn’t wrap my head around over the course of a 2 week unit.
    25
  980. Thanks! Ugh. Not even 6 minutes in and I'm already tired of James again. I'll watch it but only in pieces. Thanks, Dave.
    24
  981. Not exaggerating but I swear down, your videos are sooooo much easier to follow and understand. You just seem to make all the pieces fit together! Thank you a million times over for your videos, they are saving my sanity! 😂
    24
  982. I stumbled upon "Sky Scholar" while researching my next video. Almost as soon as the video started, I realized this was a crank. Thankfully, YouTube recommended your video which was more than the perfect antidote. Well done!
    24
  983. I will re-watch this brutal flat-earther take-down until the eventual heat-death of the universe. Edited to include: "...a 15 degree per hour drift."
    24
  984. Ahhh i cant believe that i just found out about this channel now! This has already been amazing and i love it instantly! :)
    24
  985. Thanks! I really enjoy your series on James and the other creationist fools from DI. Keep up the great work Dave
    24
  986. omg this helped me so much and tomorrow i have a test ont he muscular system, i aced the skeletal system wish me luck thank you very much. BTW i love your intro!!!
    24
  987. Omg you have no idea how much your videos tutorials help me to understand. I’m definitely doing better on my class
    24
  988. Thanks for making my 3 weeks in quarantine in Italy still a bit useful in terms of learning Italian. Can't wait until Coronavirus is gone and I can put these things in practice :P
    24
  989. Your explanation of electrophilicity at 1:40 is so good! Really clicked for me.
    24
  990. Great video. I was an avid watcher of Ben's videos but will now unsubscribe đŸ‘đŸ»
    24
  991. You're the best because you delve into more specialized topics, many of the great YouTube channels cover mostly ap level. Thank you for everything you do professor Dave.
    24
  992. Dave, you know what makes these videos so good and entertaining? You! You sound so excited to be teaching! 😃
    23
  993. I have children from ages 1-7 , and I like to research about their development on my own, so I know most of these concepts by now. However, unlike some videos I've watched from others, you included even more intriguing details, and what to expect moving foward. Wonderful. I believe every parent should inform themselves of these milestones. Another great video from this channel ! 👏
    23
  994. Thanks for being a great teacher and debunker :)
    23
  995. We love you Dave!!! -The Board of Mrs. Kelly’s Class at LFC in Allen, Texas
    23
  996. I've been really enjoying learning from your book, Is This WiFi Organic. I've also really enjoyed learning various things from your channel. I'm just a simple layperson, I'm not going to school for chemistry, or physics, or any of the other topics you cover. I'm simply curious about how stuff works. Thank you so much for your incredible content.
    23
  997. ultra based response. also, who's next on the debunking bucket list? (I'm guessing you're continuing the "Destroying the DI" series, in which case 🍿🍿for part 5!)
    23
  998. Good stuff! Thank you for making these debunking videos
    23
  999. Professor Dave, please make more of this type of content, it's awesome! P.S.: I was one of the casual subscribers to S0 and unsubscribed after watching this video. :D
    23
  1000. This video is perfect, it said so much that needs to be said. Predatory actors often target good causes, and something as objectively positive as black unity becomes a blindfold. You don't want to be the guy to oppose something like that, it isn't socially acceptable and it's understandable why. These guys should have been shut up a long time ago, but it's nearly impossible to look like the good guy if you're the one to do it. Much respect for daring to say what many people were thinking but what no one else with this sort of reach would.
    23
  1001. thank you!
    23
  1002. Every time I come here I'd get so fascinated by not just the facts but also by how easily understandable Dave delivers the topic, to the point that I feel so eager to click the like button right after watching, only to find that I've liked it already!
    23
  1003. I can't even begin to tell you how much you have cleared up my concepts.thank you so much
    23
  1004. Dear Sir, keep exposing them! A small donation!
    23
  1005. Very concise video. I just saw that you have a entire playlist on economics which is awesome since I'm studying that in college currently.
    23
  1006. I've really enjoyed this series, Professor Dave. Thank you for taking the time to make it. As a suggestion, since I suspect you will bundle this into a series like you do with so many other multi-part topics, I suggest you call this bundle "The Wisdom of Trees." A great quote to round out this series.
    23
  1007. You are the best! I was so overwhelmed and had no idea how to do my homework, It's incredible how this simple video could help SO MUCH!!!
    22
  1008. Please keep up the good work! Speaking as someone who is also a regular object of Ben's minions' ire, I am familiar with his tactics and deceptions. He blocked me after I showed that his earthquake predictions were junk nearly a decade ago (showed that using his method, major earthquakes (>5) were better correlated than Ben's to passage of our garbage collection trucks past my house twice per week!). As a solar physicist, I can attest that his solar knowledge is near to non existent and most of his reports are gleaned from bone fide space weather channels.
    22
  1009. I love your contents, can I get a comment heart?
    22
  1010. PS: Got my copy of "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?" SO far up to page 130, of 283, and already got my money's worth. Everything else is gravy!
    22
  1011. Just wonderful how some of you impact knowledge so simple and easily... you just awesome professor!!👏👏👌
    22
  1012. Your explanations about ALL the subjects you cover are amazing. Nobody else is covering key subjects and cross-refering them as methodically and systematically as you. Please, keep it up and thanks. :)
    22
  1013. Professor Dave is seriously the best!! I've understood a lot of Chemistry topics that I've struggled with in the past by watching his videos, and this Introductory video hypes me up for my incoming Biochem course this sem! Thanks a lot Prof. Dave!
    22
  1014. I usually only watch these debunking videos, but I still do learn a lot of new things from them. Thanks and keep up the good work, Dave! Greetings from Eastern Europe!
    22
  1015. Oh thanks a lot! I enjoy your videos. I’m a Spanish native speaker and I’ve been looking for a teacher like you for months. Your classes are so complete.
    22
  1016. Wow, this video is so detailed and accurate that first year med students could actually use it as study material, good job prof. Not much to add beyond the fact that Aspirin's analgesic effect is rather mild compared to other NSAIDs and we've got better (safer) options for anti-inflammatory treatment in most cases, so modern use focuses mainly on the anti-platelet (cardio) treatment, antipyretic or anti-inflammatory prescriptions becoming less common and more situational.
    22
  1017. Hello, Dave, This is a great debunking series. I think it is clear that what motivates James Tour and others like him is to find a way to discredit the vast amount of good science pertaining to the origin of life on Earth and life in general is to prove that the Christian Bible is inerrant, even the first words of Genesis (I'll explain the reasons below). Life is a chemical process and the chemistry behind life is very complicated, so it is easy for mountebanks and frauds to use the layperson's lack of knowledge to use references and language that seeks to confuse the person into thinking that the chemistry of life is so complicated that only a Maker is able to put it together, which is to say that the frauds engage in a question-begging fallacy. I am a practicing Catholic and I can tell you that I believe many Catholics and many other Christians (with a few exceptions, like Behe) don't believe the Bible is a scientific book nor that it was intended to be a science book. Most of us Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, etc.) don't believe that one error in the Bible means the whole Bible is wrong; that's a fundamentalist position which most of us Christians do not take, but for historical reasons, seems prevalent among many Christians in the U.S. The reason why fundamentalist Christians believe the Bible is true in every word is because they believe God wrote the Bible himself (it is the true word of God) and that a single word deemed incorrect would mean the Salvation story could also be a lie or is incorrect or inaccurate. If there is any doubt that the Genesis story is all true, then the whole edifice crumbles in itself. This is, of course, fallacious thinking. Nevertheless, this is what shapes their worldview, including science, in that if they can point out to a single error or inaccuracy (even when an error can be the result of their own confusion which stems from their own scientific illiteracy) they think the whole edifice will also crumble into itself, as if science was this monolithic body that can be knocked down by a single well-placed hit, instead of a collection of knowledge on nature and the universe based on observation, experience, experimentation and induction.
    22
  1018. I do plasma physics research. The fact that so many people are hoodwinked by EU crap annoys me more than it should. Thanks for making this video
    22
  1019. Howard gives a lot of insight into the more pervasive and general paranoia that affects so many people. He wishes for everything to be aesthetic and interpretable as one would read art. In his world brute fact gains all sorts of revealed meaning. This is no different from the religious demagogue that wishes to find their specific interpretation of the world that is aestheticized in a book. But what makes Howard unique is that he is nebulous in his aesthetics, he will make any analogy or combine any bit of information into a new representation. As insane as it is, it reveals the underlying logic of conspiracy, the points of apparent nonsense that form meaning for the parnoiac.
    22
  1020. I just pre-ordered the Kindel version - Thanks, Dave!
    22
  1021. Your presentation is great, very helpful.
    22
  1022. this video was so so helpful! you make learning the topic easier cause you speak slowly, have colorful pictures/animations to illustrate your explanations, and emphasize definitions. thank you for packing my 2 hour physics lecture into 6 minutes!
    22
  1023. I'm learning 3rd Year Italian at university and sometimes my teacher makes it really hard for us to understand exactly how grammatical structures are made and why they happen - not to mention we only go over each thing once and then move onto something else the following week! Your videos are perfect if I need to do revision or to fully conceptualise grammatical ideas! Thank you Prof!!
    22
  1024. Ever since I saw you "Destroy Kent Hovind", you have been my first choice for all chem/bio/calc study videos!
    22
  1025. Hey Dave, just wanted to say you've inspired me to debunk nonsensical bullshit on the internet. You're awesome!
    22
  1026. I've been watching your videos for the past four years, along with other educational sources on YouTube, throughout my college journey. I graduated with a degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, and I want to thank you because I don't think I could have done it without your educational content. However, I just recently discovered your debunk videos on your Debunks/Discussions/Debates playlist. I've been binge-watching them and have truly enjoyed them. They've made me rethink many beliefs I had regarding pseudoscience. I have to admit that I believed in many of the topics you debunked, like Quantum Mysticism, Billy Carson, and claims about water. Your videos have made me question those beliefs. I believe what you're doing with these debunk videos is critical, especially in today's internet age where misinformation is spreading like never before. Many people lack basic scientific knowledge and will believe whatever is presented to them. Keep up the great content! I'm looking forward to more of your debunk videos and especially hope you address Dr. Eric Berg and Sadhguru in the future, as you mentioned in your debunk videos about water. They have a large audience, and it now scares me how much pseudoscience they're spreading. Even I have fallen victim to their misinformation.
    22
  1027. Clutchest man alive, saved my bio semester grade
    21
  1028. Came to sing along with the jingle, stayed for not understanding 99% of the content, but enjoying it nonetheless
    21
  1029. Man, Dave thank you so much for your work. My dad died recently from Covid and I wished he would be vaccinated before he got it. Every time I hear those morons discussing the vaccine... it’s like a punch in the face. There are so many con mans out there but only a handful counterparts such as you and a couple of other scientist. Keep on fighting an debunking - normal people with a functioning brain do appreciate this a lot.
    21
  1030. The graph showing position, velocity and acceleration side-to-side is by far the best showing of intuition of differentiation I've ever seen. I couldn't stop analyzing it. Watching your videos I can tell that you actually know what you're talking about and that you like it a lot (unlike my college teachers who simply memorized this from their also shitty college teachers that also probably didn't give a fuck.) At my college classes I memorized formulas ad infinitum, with these videos, I actually understood what's going on behind the scenes. Thanks, Dave! Cheers from Brazil!
    21
  1031. This video changed my perspective from a neglected chapter in my Remote sensing course to me wanting to pursue a career in it. Thanks a lot!
    21
  1032. Am 46 and still learning...... dave you're a legend mate and am looking forward to learning more in 2020 happy new year buddy 😁😁
    21
  1033. Wow! Professor Dave, I admire your dedication to defend the truth of science! You have done your work very well! I have a background in in vitro selection of oligonucleotides, which is a sub-field came out of Dr. Jack Szostack's work on the Origins of Life (he received his Nobel Award because of this in 2009), and I find your explanation to be very precise, way better than many full time college professors could explain! What amazes me is your unique talent to explain complex ideas in layman's terms. I have a lot to learn from you!
    21
  1034. As an electrical engineer myself (though I don't work on the field) I'm embarrassed by those bozos. It is mandatory for us to have at least a basic understanding of physics due to the very nature of how electricity and the electronic components work. They are either delusional or just running a scam to grab money. Probably both, I guess.
    21
  1035. I was going to say I wish you were my tutor as you explain things so well but thanks to youtube I guess you kinda are lol! Thank you for your helpful videos😁🎉🙌💙
    21
  1036. I'm from Brazil (Portuguese). I speak Spanish as well, but I prefer study italian from English otherwise I will drive me mad, because some sounds and letter are to similar with Portuguese and Spanish language. You are a great teacher! Congratulations, man! You rock!
    21
  1037. I started watching this channel because I had a professor for General Chemistry who was really bad at teaching. He's a great guy and is wonderfully passionate about chemistry, but he just wouldn't explain anything in a helpful way. Your videos were my go-to whenever I couldn't understand something from the textbook. I ended up being one of the few people in that class who passed with an A.
    21
  1038. Mr. Dave I hope you know I’m happy you’re alive and decided to have this chanel . You have no idea if you wouldn’t have made this video. I would’ve been lost thank you 🙏
    21
  1039. This is perfect explanation!)
    21
  1040. As always Prof Dave, great quality. Thank you
    21
  1041. Dave, just found your channel, and already I feel at home. I've longed for learning all of my life, and I can hardly wait to see what you have to say! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
    21
  1042. Just discovered theses OC videos and you do such an amazing job! Not only do you explain the topic clearly, but you answer all the questions, in advance, that I may have. You're super enthusiastic and these videos really did help me a lot!! Thanks Professor Dave :)
    21
  1043. Merci !

  1045. Sabine is the only genuine STEM channel that I had to make sure I'm no longer reccomended, I actually don't understand the point of her channel. Every vid of hers seems to be taking a new interesting study or enterprise and framing it as bad, greedy, pointless, power-hungry, ego affirming on behalf on the researchers. All with zero basis to do so beyond her own general skepticism. It seems all she does is try to hand wave new science while saying if it's not up to her snuff new research shouldn't even be done. As if new science is a pointless endeavor and we shouldn't even bother doing it; if it's not a massive brealthrough on the scale of Einstein that can explain everything we don't know its meaningless junk. I think she can be really funny at times with her remarks but I'm not sure I ever actually learned anything from her channel, which is strange from a PhD physicist and science communicator. Also, notice how every example of scientific failing brought up in this video is complimented by scientists and the scientific community actively reporting it and fighting against it, to the point of shutting down big papers or quitting their jobs at certain publications. That is what science is, it's a self-correcting process. This is what "repeatability" and "peer review" do. This narrative that scientists are just blind sheep congratulating each other for having brilliant minds for writing things in a paper they can't prove is just that, a narrative. You know when any field of science goes wrong or when they don't know something because they tell you in depth. In that way people are weaponizing knowledge they gained from scientists against them for supposedly being unknowledgeable. She uses the scientists are sheep narrative to push another one, that she is the lone expert reporting on these failings and therefore outside of the bad ignorant mainstream academia, basic science denialist rhetoric. "Science is bad, I know because I'm the only one scrutinizing it, forget that scrutinization is built into science because that means I'm not a special truth beacon and scientists do what I say they don't."
    20
  1046. Thanks Dave! I'm starting my undergrad this summer and I'm majoring in biology, and organic chemistry. Your videos are really helping me feel more confident going in, and I really appreciate your hard work.
    20
  1047. Thanks!
    20
  1048. I love your analogies! I can really picture it boinging :)
    20
  1049. thank you so much! you saved a university newbie!
    20
  1050. Pacing is perfect and it goes in a very logical way. Thank you!
    20
  1051. Just lie down and learn chemistry. I do not even have to concentrate much because it goes straught into the mind. EQ and IQ together are potent!
    20
  1052. Yo I just want to thank you! Without these videos I would not have passed my courses last year!!!! I owe ya one when I make it big as an engineer man
    20
  1053. flat earthers lack the ability to think critically. their entire ideology requires massive conspiracies to be prepetuated by shadowy secret societies to validate their pseudo enlightened semi woke ideas of flat earth.... the problem is they cant explain the purpose for the deception nor can they explain the lack of uniform cohesion of their "truths". Their ideology requires so little intellectual effort that it manifests itself in sheer ignorance to the degree its synonomous with being willfully blind to objective reality and facts..... these are the kids in school that flunked math and science under the excuse of "i'll never need those in the real world anyway" as a way to explain away their stupidity. Now they are simply over compensating for their ignorance by faking confidence and knowledge in a stem field in which it is abundantly clear their confidence far exceeds their ability to understand basic concepts.

  1055. I used to be a young earth creationist when I found Kent Hovind and I was blown away. He was my hero that was wrongfully imprisoned. Overtime I just stopped caring about YEC or OEC just morality. Recently some of hovinds wives have came out about the charlatan nature of hovind and his abusive personality. Watching your videos has removed the scales of conspiracy and nonsense that have plagued me for years. “How can all of science be on the same page?” Well maybe it is the truth and not some stupid conspiracy. Thanks for exposing frauds and spreading the truth
    20
  1056. Prof Dave, I have a quick gravity question. You ever seen that experiment where they drop a feather and a hammer in a vacuum and they fall at the same rate cuz there is no air resistance? Is that how that works? Shouldn't the hammer fall faster cuz it has more mass and therefore accelerates more rapidly? Why do they fall at the same rate in that vacuum? Or am I confused and thinking of something else? Thanks for your work, Prof. I watch your old classics all the time. Keep debunking these conmen!! Btw I love that you referenced "oceans don't have wings" in your most recent flat earth vid!

  1057. I think a lot of folks (myself included) mostly considered the religious right sidelined back in the late 2000s when their biggest political win in the US, George Bush's 2 terms in the presidency, was soundly rejected. But if the past few years have taught us anything, the religious right isn't a problem that goes away when they lose a couple of presidential elections. Their political power is strongest on the state level in fact as we've seen with the waves of right wing religious bills on abortion, trans rights, and what kind of history can be taught in schools (which is something they have more leverage on atm but should just be seen as the opening salvo in a broader assault on secular education). My one suggestion though is when speaking to an anglophone audience, don't give them an out by only citing countries this audience tends to view as "others" as the potential bad trends we can head towards. While Iran and Afghanistan are bad theocracies, I think it's a bit easy for those in the west to go "they're underdeveloped" or "haven't gone throw an enlightenment" (the 2nd one being flat out wrong of course, but commonly believed) and therefore think the threat isn't as real in the West. Example like Poland's gay-free zones and increasing authoritarianism, the return of influence and oppression of the Russian Orthodox church in modern Russia, and vitally, the slew of state level bills in the US are hard, inescapable evidence that even developed, post-Western enlightenment faces threats of returned theocracy. I'd encourage using local examples where possible to make sure folks can't fall back on lazy tropes about other cultures to dismiss the problems of their own societies.

  1058. Used your videos in high school; used your videos in university; now using your videos in medical school. Thank you immensely!

  1059. you are actually amazing man. Like any time I find myself in a pinch and I've lost all hope one of your vids will just pop up out nowhere and save my butt

  1060. This was an interesting exercise in patience. The problem that I have with trying to frame the existence of a god in a rationally cloaked argument is that it all hinges on irrational, or, at best, a series of premises for which there is no evidence. If there is no evidence for something, trying to jump ahead and prove or disprove it becomes a silly game of semantic/philosophical hurdles, which may be fun only for their own sake, but not for illuminating anything meaningful or substantial to the argument. Even the introduction of "evidence" on Blake's part involved the accepting of a made up philosophical framework that uses aspects of math/probability in an irrational way. Again, I was impressed with my hero here, Dave, and his patience, but I was less impressed with my own. In a material universe, the idea of god is an exercise in faith, nothing more at this point, I'm afraid (for Blake). BY THE WAY, did y'all know Prof. Dave plays drums in a band? They're called The Lonely Wild! I'm going to check them out before school this morning. Thanks for keeping it real and helping us understand the world around us Prof. Dave.

  1061. Thank you for this Dave. I used to be friends with Eric Dubay when I believed in Flat Earth. We used to talk. When I started to question him and flat earth he turned on me QUICK. Accused me of working for the C.I.A. I realised he is the leader of an E Cult. Nothing more. He and other flat earthers use tactics like "You can't trust them you can only trust me" and it works to easily led people that are distrusting of the world around them.

  1062. I wonder why can't others teach the way he does.. Thanks a lot Professor Dave!

  1063. Thanks a million for helping me spread the columbine flower power, Dave!

  1064. Professor Dave, will you make a tutorial video for lay people explaining just the specific topics, reactions, and products that have been addressed in all of these entertaining Tour videos?
    19
  1065. Thank you Professor Dave! I am enjoying studying math with the kids and watching your videos
    19
  1066. Thanks to Professor Dave and others like him for helping me overcome a serious lack of knowledge regarding the scientific world after having been raised in an overwhelmingly Anti-science Christian family.
    19
  1067. you're blowing my mind rn
    19
  1068. Mad respect for what you are doing. Was actually considering coming over from Germany, but it was right during my final exams unfortunately. I didn't think Tour could be even sadder in person, but apparently he is.
    19
  1069. OC Exam coming up in 2 weeks.. all my knowledge is legit just based on you. you are amazing! I would be so lost without you! Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so so so much.
    19
  1070. I really need to watch your videos more often. You're good at this. I hate my busy life. Awesome video. Science is awesome.
    19
  1071. Ahhhhhhmazing, best channel ever. I'm acing chemistry because of you! You know so much!
    19
  1072. Many thanks, Professor Dave, and also to Dr. Aurnou and his team for this very interesting video.

  1074. Thanks for this video ! I am French but with confinement I no longer have Italian lessons. Listening in English is not a problem, because your accent is easy to understand. It really helped me!
    19
  1075. Hey Dave, just wanted to say thank you for all that you've done! Your videos have helped inform and educate people around the world, myself included. Thank you so much for your generous work and for your scholarly zeal! Not all heroes wear capes... But some rock an epic beard ❀

  1076. James Tour is hilarious. Imagine getting so butt-hurt over being called out on your lies/lack of basic understanding that you have to run to a whole room of ignorant people to coddle you when you cry about how the big meanie on YouTube hurt your precious ego. Please keep making Tour cry, Dave.

  1077. It’s true, I had a whole research project ready to go, funding and all that could’ve lead to the cure to cancer, but the second I said I disagreed with Dave they took my funding and shot my dog

  1078. The right-wing war on public education and higher education has been going on since the 80s but really started seeing frightening successes due to the 08 recession and started seeing terrifying success starting in 2017. It was a calculation right-wingers made under Reagan. A relatively funded public school system and low cost or no cost college education for most(that Reagan's administration dismantled) would not have allowed public opinion on wealth to make the massive change it did... or for such extreme changes in wealth inequality to be ignored. There was a near universal belief that wealth beyond a certain point was immoral, unethical, and absolutely antithetical to any serious adherence to or faith in the major religions in the United States. Right-wing information operations helped to change American culture to a ME ME ME attitude being acceptable for those who had everything 100 people could possibly want... and middle to low income people became ammunition & fodder for right-wing talking heads to blame everything on. The fact that mega-church pastors aren't ridiculed into exile is preposterous. Evangelists owning multiple private jets while people starve or live in poverty so miserable they're far more likely to turn to drugs for a false escape from reality should be a top target of riducule from society, media, and actual religious people. The country was given away with cash on top on the 80s to the rich to a point that is nearly impossible to reverse. Trillions of dollars have been funneled to the top while everyone in the bottom 98% has paid for it to happen or provided the labor that made economic growth possible in the United States (the workers got told to f off over and over again as they were getting screwed more ways than they could possibly imagine).

  1079.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  And it would have been easily avoided with some introspection and reflection on her part. But as you mentioned, the monetary incentives prevent her from doing exactly that

  1080. "you think space is a vacuum cleaner" things prof dave had to say to stupid flerfs in 2019
    18
  1081. You know... I have so much respect for MRI and NMR tech, and the people who work to develop it. How could someone who has worked in such a technical field for so long just go off the deep end like this? This guy literally worked with tech that relies on an understanding of chemistry! How does he not know how black body radiation, pressure, or even gravity works? His entire career would not have been possible if the things he is saying were true. I am baffled that this guy even exists. It really disappoints me to see people taken in by guys like this, but I know its because the amount of effort it takes to actually understand a particular field is so great. I've been crushing myself for a couple years now working on a double BS in chem and computer science (math minor) so finding time to even make a YouTube comment is no easy task. But I can say for a fact, you can't just jump into a field and expect to know everything about it without any actual study. So keep up the good work Dave, and know that those of us who are on your side don't have time to help all that much mainly because we are putting in the necessary amount of effort to really understand the fields we are aiming for. Your science videos get me through my studies, and your debunk videos remind me of why I should study in the first place.
    18
  1082. DAVE. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for your contributions. You really explain things in a manner that is so straightforward and easy to follow. I appreciate you so much.
    18
  1083. Thanks prof, I passed the physics paper with ur help.....ur tutorials are awesome
    18
  1084. Aww man this is so mind blowing. I love YouTube for this. It helps to give people a good intuitive understanding of deep learning an artificial intelligence. If you also look at the computer science which brings the mathematical side of view.
    18
  1085. Yo Dave, when the pandemic hit I found you as I searched for content for my online Organic students. Thrilled to see you broadening your reach and collaborating with Aron and Erika. Bonus that my students get a dose of general Science and counter apologetics along with their Chemistry
    18
  1086. Woah... I have a test on this tomorrow and you happened to upload. That's very cool but a creepy coincidence... Thank you Dave!!!!!
    18
  1087. Hey, new sub here. I just found this video yesterday, and am glad I did. I fell for the suspicious observer channel I unfortunately have to admit. Someone told me about ur work to check out, and boy am I glad I did. Big eye opener. Thank you, I will continue to pass the word on, this Ben guy needs to be exposed
    18
  1088. Love this series, my son and are huge fans. I tried to raise him fundie
but sent him to an International Baccalaureate school here in the deep south
and well he figured it out in 9th grade with his first logic course. Dad eventually caught up after realizing that the spoon fed lessons had massive reasoning holes
thankfully we are both now agnostic atheists as most all of our children are. They simply looked at the shitty people we went to church with and said fuck that nonsense.
    18
  1089. Just wanted to tell you that you've helped me pass hard exams in medschool. Thanks!
    18
  1090. Loving this series so much
    18
  1091. Best, easiest & most visual explanation of the Gram-Schmidt Process. Thank you Professor Dave :)
    18
  1092. There's a splendid article from the Baffler about 25 years back called "Why Johnny Can't Dissent" which analyzes the "antinomian narrative" in advertising, which is very similar to what you identify as a preference for antiestablishment beliefs. Everywhere you looked in late-twentieth-century media you found these ecstatic memes about "breaking the rules" used as a mechanism to sell people stuff, so that "being a rebel" became a branding exercise associated with certain consumption choices. Buying a certain kind of potato chip was supposedly your way to DEFY all the gray-suited normies-- an advertising theme that you can see to this day attached to, say, corporate chain restaurants eating the food of which is supposedly an act of individual defiance against all rules. The article goes into the political effects of this "reflex antinomianism", which have been more than borne out by the subsequent development of internet epistemic silos and the online disinformation economy. If you can't find that article by itself, it's in the collection Commodify Your Dissent: Salvos From the Baffler and well worth the time to read.
    18
  1093. I use to like this guy, now I don't. I was one of those blind people that didn't fully understand the Science and just latched onto something that sounded right. So glad I decided to actually expand my knowledge.
    18
  1094. Hi dave, I watch your videos to go to sleep as your voice is so familiar now and calms me, im really anxious and you help me sleep. But I also love what you talk about and teach. I'm a uk year 1 chemistry university student and you make me feel like humanity still has somewhat normal beings. Thanks for this video I appreciate your frequent posting x
    18
  1095. Congrats on 3 mil man. We're going to be using your videos to help with our homeschooling curriculum next year. Appreciate your content dave.
    18
  1096. Cutting through bullshit like a hot knife.
    18
  1097. Being going through this series bit by bit and it is absolutely brilliant.Thanks so much Proffesor Dave
    18
  1098. Thanks!
    18
  1099. Nicely covered Dave. Real pilot here and every single flight plan I have calculated and used in over 30 years is based on a Globe and will only work if the Earth is a Globe. Flat Earthers are math and geometry cripples who run at the first sign of a formula.
    18
  1100. Best teacher around in YouTube 😍
    18
  1101. Man Professor Dave the university system should just stop and everyone should just watch you
    18
  1102. Dude, I LOVE your debunking vids! They are great!
    18
  1103. I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way because I would never want to relegate you to just another content creator but you are my favorite content creator on the internet. Lol I implore you to keep up the good work. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment, but you are appreciated, probably more than you know.
    18
  1104. This dude deserves more subscribers. He explains stuff in a manner everyone can understand and yet preserves all the important details. Good job.
    17
  1105. I watched six prior videos on how life began on Earth. Yours was the last video i watched. You were very straight forward and easy to understand. Plus you spoke slow and easy. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for teaching me this!!
    17
  1106. I truly cannot express how grateful I am for the amazing work you and your team do. This series deserves so much praise.
    17
  1107. Please do another collab!!! Also, Aron and Dave, please like this comment so I can feel acknowledged! đŸ€Ł I missed the super chat! But Aron played a big role in my deconversion and Dave got me into a passion for studying organic chemistry! Also, my 7yo son is a big fan of Professor Dave Explains! Now, I'm starting him on Aron's series on the Classification of Life which, by the way, is a masterpiece!
    17
  1108. It’s all so very clear now! Thank you, Profesor Dave.
    17
  1109. underrated channel. you helped me so much. I always thought I wasn’t a math person, but I just had some bad teachers. I’m in 9th grade and I really want to start being good at it.
    17
  1110. Professor Dave- as someone who was in the audience tonight at the debate and is also a 4th year cell bio major at Rice, I just wanted to say that not everyone in the audience was a complete idiot. Dr. Tour's comment section is absolutely flooded with fellow religious people and non-scientists who just cannot understand what was actually being said throughout the debate. I hope from the questions section at the end you could hopefully gague that the majority of the people there on your side were scientists themselves, including many graduate students who have heard and probably experienced Tour's harassment and misogyny in his lab. Unfortunately I don't think any amount of papers or data would convince these people that its possible for life to happen in early earth conditions, which for Dr. Tour I find suprising because there is an entire biology department here at Rice that could help explain ribozymes for example which he seems to be very confused about (its literally taught in introductory biology, as well as our microbiology class having 2 whole labs dedicated to testing the viability of microbes in early earth conditions including the panspermia hypothesis.) Anyways, thank you so much for coming all the way to Houston, and I really hope you don't hate Rice too much after this. <3
    17
  1111. Thanks!
    17
  1112. 25:36 "[...] There's no theory behind that [...]" I love how these dunces think they're making a point in their favour, but in actuality, are stating as clear as day, that their nonsense is completely unscientific. As far as I'm concerned, any adult who fails to understand how "theory" is used in science, has excluded his- or herself from any meaningful conversation about scientific topics.
    17
  1113. Thanks you Dave, your lesson is so fun and easy to learn, finally I can calculate the volume of sold of revolution through integral, math is sooo interesting, love your video so much !! (cant remember those time study math in my school, bored af :( )
    17
  1114. I went to evergreen and graduated in 2017. I was on campus during those protests. I was part of the graduation that had to be moved to the Tacoma rainier stadium because of threats. Your summary is pretty spot on.
    17
  1115. Dave, nice job. I started with a interest in bacteria and watched those, good job. I did some digging and find you also have mathematics videos, quite complete too. Impressive. I like your brief yet direct to the point style. I will share these at every opportunity. Good job, I wish you the best and thank you.
    17
  1116. I think its clear to anyone who understands science in general let alone chemistry to see that Dave was the clear logical side in this whole debate. Me being a former Christian makes it so i can view both viewpoints through the lens of either party. From the creationist perspective i would have looked at Daves character and used that as fuel to suggest that James was the real winner. However, now coming from a logical perspective and not one from an idealogical bias i see that it doesn't matter how Dave behaved during this exchange. Dave could have pulled down his pants and took a dump on the moderators lap and it wouldn't change the fact that Dave was still correct in all his assertions. There are two things i do think Dave could have done better though. One being that i wish he elaborated more on his points instead of leaving it up to the audiance to already understand basic chemistry, definitions of words, and what credentials the people publishing the papers he brought up had. Secondly i wish he held James under his boot more in a manner similar to that of which he held Dave Weise the flat earther so he could humiliate him more. james was far more assertive than Dave in this exchange and that could easily sway a gullible audience who don't have the background knowledge needed to decide a winner. All in all this whole debade was a 10/10. Very entertaining and i'm glad i got to see it in person for myself. A few things i've noticed by being there is James mic was Far more louder than Daves sadly. And although you can tell he was louder in the video the recording doesn't do justice to just how much louder James was. james yelled throughout the whole debate but it sounds like he's talking normally through all of the recording. Which made it even more annoying when James wouldn't let Dave speak the entire time trying to distract from the points Dave was making. So Dave good job in this exchange. I hope to see more in the future and thanks hanging out aterwards and for sharing some drinks with us at Valhalla. Being a houston native if you want me to take a dump on James Tours office i got you~
    17
  1117. SuspiciousObservers followers and commentators on his videos and reddit are what bought me here. I thought he might have a point about some things, and I’ve watched a good number of his videos, but I wanted to see other people’s views of him. I’m glad I did. The crazy people in his video comments got me “suspicious”, now I learn He’s a bit of a scumbag....THANK YOU.
    17
  1118. I like your non-hostile way of addressing this topic. I often see people be incredibly hateful towards who believes that the earth is flat. Sure, it's a frustrating thing, but the best way of changing someones mind is not by being aggressive, but being understanding to degree. I hope some people can watch this video and see it as it is, instead of seeing it as a "lie made by the government".
    17
  1119. It's so very important that people, such as yourself, with broad understanding of science and the science community keeps uncovering these charlatans, now more than ever!
    17
  1120. Nicely explained Dave sir! You deserve more subscribers. I hope you will get at least 10M subscribers. Love from India
    17
  1121. New here and I'm in love with your channel. The video on life cycles of stars is one of my favourite science videos on Youtube. I love how you explain concepts in simple enough language, but it's not too dumbed down. Like for example when you explained the masses of stars in terms of solar masses and using terms like chandrashekhar limit etc. It lets me understand it all but also have an insight into the math and actual scientific lexicon behind it, instead of being given a jargon in simple english. Really enriches the learning process, even for a layman. Keep going, Dave!!
    17
  1122. In relevant news, the James-Tour telescope is nearing it's final stage of deployment to search for the origin of life . Unlike it's predecessor James-Webb, the lens of the James-Tour telescope will be inserted deep into the sand of the Nevada desert to ensure no new and inconvenient scientific data will be discovered.
    17
  1123. I just love your videos, you make everything look so simple, THANK YOU!!
    17
  1124. Merci !
    17
  1125. Well, I think I found my new favorite tutoring channel. This helped me catch the concepts I couldn't quite grasp, and I really appreciate it.
    17
  1126. if you want a summary of this whole "debate" you can see the whole thing play out in this one microcosm example. from the following time stamp of (34:40) to about (40:40). in this gap we have Professor Dave ask Professor James a question concerning the nature of his claim that science textbooks teach a bad/inappropriate/ill-intentioned kind of primordial soup model. when pressed on this question, Professor Tour deflect the question by simply saying that Dave is clueless and emphasizes the claim that Dave never showed him the chemistry. Despite Professor Dave having the materials to show that Professor Tour was making a bad lie about textbooks (or at least making poor claims and false statements towards the contents of the textbooks) and making false claims about the nature of Professor Tour's talks/exchanges with Bruce Lipshutz. Plus, Professor Tour didn't even deny the allegations of lying NOR attempt to defuse them. He simply just side-stepped them and went on a tirade about the lack of chemistry being shown to him. Completely dogged the question. Completely avoided it in its entirety. Then he went on to shift the topic of the talk and engage with some other topics /subjects. Only to loosely return to these points in piecemeal later on. Such a poor show of public speaking, listening and engagement of honest dialogue in general. This alone shows me that the man (Professor Tour) had no intention of having a good fair and honest discussion. Only wanted to delude the talks and make a show of the whole meeting. Meanwhile, Professor Dave did a fine job holding this man down to his claims and expose him for his lies, and his slander against scientists and their honest work. Good on you, Professor Dave. We need more people like you around! :D
    17
  1127. This was really really helpful. My university notes introduced it way way more complicated than this. Now that I've seen this I feel like I can now move onto the more complicated stuff that's in my uni notes, thanks!
    16
  1128. I'm very interested and will be ordering as my contribution and gratitude for all your wonderfully helpful videos đŸ€—
    16
  1129. Thanks
    16
  1130. Thanks! Professor Dave for destroying those assholes 😂
    16
  1131. Loving you professor ❀❀ . I have been following your channel since you had around 600k subscribers . Really , I loved your classical physics, modern physics and astronomy/astrophysics series â€ïžđŸ˜‡ . They were amazing 😍!
    16
  1132. Thank You for doing all that you do in order to help the world around us!
    16
  1133. Hi Dave, I just want to say from one educator to another, thank you for your dedication to education and to science. While I teach music, I am a lay person when it comes to this kind of stuff but you make it so easy to grasp, and I love to audio and visual aids. Keep up the amazing work!
    16
  1134. Professor Dave! You’re so amazing I appreciate you so much. I find myself singing your into during my Ochem class😂
    16
  1135. Thank you very much sir! You are a big help through my education, I check your all kinds of videos.
    16
  1136. this video should have a million views, best video on the subject on all interent. cheers mate. Keep up the good work. Let's all share this video as much as we can
    16
  1137. thank you so much for your help! i'm currently studying for the MCAT and these videos have genuinely increased my understanding of the physiological systems that we have to know for test day.
    16
  1138. I really love your videos. I am learning italian by watching it. just new here in Italy. i thank God I found you.
    16
  1139. SEASONS WONT F*CKING WORK IF IT WAS A FLAT EARTH. Dave, heart my comment if I am right
    16
  1140.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Well, either way you are helping me! You and Crash Course are the only ones who make some subjects of anatomy bearable!
    16
  1141.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Sounds perfect, I'll go find it! I'm new to the channel, found you via the Globebusters debunking stuff not long ago.
    16
  1142. I find all of these videos so helpful, you are helping me through my pharmacology degree! Thank you! ✹
    16
  1143. This series is extremely helpful. Clear concise explainations. Thankyou!
    16
  1144. Thank you 🎉 I've shared your page with so many people who needed it
    16
  1145. I left christiannity 6 months ago, and it's partly because of you, thanks man
    16
  1146. Thank you Dave, this video helped me so much to an atrophysics test. Massive Thanks to you, keep doing what you are doing :D
    16
  1147. Great video and put me right on a few things there, thank you Professor Dave :-)
    16
  1148. I really hope they accept you. You definitely are one of the people that deserves to go.
    16
  1149. I've been wondering about why the formal definition of a continuous involves a limit for such a long time, and the epsilon-delta definition didn't help either, but this video lecture really made it crystal clear to me. Thanks so much.
    16
  1150. this professor just took the entire 1 week of calculus in just 10minutes video... Godbless you sir for making these videos
    16
  1151.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Oh I have, but I'll certainly continue to spread the gospel!
    16
  1152. Grazie!!! Ora posso parlare italiano un po 'meglio, ma devo andare avanti, perchĂš voglio avere successo! Grazie ancora professore.
    16
  1153. I never understood this so well till today.. Thank you sir
    16
  1154. This is YUMMY. I'll give a shout-out to you on tonight's Evolution Hour
    16
  1155. PhD in Chemistry, Taught at Uni during postdoc, 12 years in R&D (Industry), now having success with my teaching business in Physics (High School level). my weird study path made me bypass maths (I basically have a solid high school level, and picked up what I needed on the way). But the thing is that I have an intellectual hobby, quantum mechanics. And have been so frustrated not being able to fully join the fun, because of maths. I found your course here on youtube today (from the video on operators), realised which video I could start up from (It will be Video 137), and the fun can actually begin ! Thank you so much for the incredible hard work providing that knowledge in a comprehensible way to the world! You are amazing!
    16
  1156. This is so hilarious, probably partially prescient, and amazing. <3
    16
  1157. Dave, your channel trailer should include the clip of you writing "NOT CLUELESS" on the board, since you dedicate your time to reducing the cluelessness of humanity. Plus, that was a f***ing hilarious moment. P.S. I loved when you co-hosted on The Line.
    16
  1158. Hey there! I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your work and your videos. Last month I tried my organic chemistry exam for the fourth time and I managed to pass it only thanks to your simple but effective explanations. I even managed to surprise my teacher during the oral examination since I was one of the few in my course that could actually understand and explain how NMR works! I got 29/30 just for that 😭 and I had just learned it and understood it a couple of days before with your tutorial, after many days of failed attempts on my notes and textbooks. Organic chemistry had become a nightmare for me, but in the end I even enjoyed it and I can't wait to learn more about chemistry and physics this year. I will continue to support you in every way I can in the future and I really wish for the best for you. 💖
    16
  1159. Dave you encouraged me to start a band and play drums. Your videos also convinced one of my creationist friends to take a more rational position. Thank you for spreading knowledge. I have seen it shield people from misinformation already.
    16
  1160. Professor Dave, I find myself almost too embarrassed to drop a comment, but you deserve to know that the time you spent on this helps some people. My brother sent me down the rabbit hole that was S.O. a few months back. He even gave me the book lol. I was skeptical as I seem to be about most things, and looked for a good counter argument. Found this video, spent a few hours checking other opinions and sources on him. Not a lot out there and non of it was good. Then I gave some of your other debunks a view. And that's why I owe you a thanks. I can fully accept that I have become very distrusting of the federal government, and I don't see how that isn't deserved honestly, but i had not realized just how much BS I was starting to listen to. Your right, conspiracy does become addictive or reflexive at least. "I'm not mainstream" was really all any of these crackpots had to say to get me to at least hear them out. And sometimes a question or two would stick that I was smart enough to conceive of, but not to answer....or at least I wasn't going to invest the time and effort to do so. I never bought in very far, but apparently far enough to cast a shadow of suspicion on everything I had to take on faith. Looking through your debunk list I was embarrassed to see how many I had wasted consideration on. It was really the Nikola Tesla Dynamic Theory of Gravity that started my brother and I down a road of stupidity a good 10 yrs back. And today I learned my final lesson from that, being completely illiterate is safer than being slightly intelligent lol. The whole road started with "magnetic magic", "Dielectric Universe", "Plasma Universe" and somewhere along the way I was questioning if moonlight was cold. Keep up the good work sir, some students need a nudge back out of wanting to believe it is all much more simple than it really is. Thanks!

  1161. I love it when Prof Dave does astronomy! Prof Dave kick started my love of science and I am forever grateful!! Love from Australia 🇩đŸ‡ș
    16
  1162. Professor Dave You are awesome. Your videos are just perfect and you explain everything very well. God bless you
    16
  1163. Plot Twist: Prof. Dave invites Tour to speak on his channel so that Tour has to expose himself.
    16
  1164. Thanks for the great content Professor. Somewhat off topic: Would you make a video telling us the story of John L. Leal and how he revolutionized public health with science, in the face of some of the toughest adversity for the time? Cheers from 🇹🇩.
    15
  1165. Well, you may have had to put up with some rude, moronic flat-earthers, but your efforts have earned you a new subscriber, for what it's worth. This is the first video of yours I've seen - in fact, I'm not even half-way into it, and I'm already subscribing. Your explanations are clear, succinct, and, most importantly RATIONAL and SCIENTIFIC. If the flat-earthers don't realise how completely and utterly you've just destroyed their arguments, there really is no hope for them...their cognitive dissonance and innate irrationality is clearly too great for them to overcome. Thanks for taking the time to do this! I'm only sorry I didn't find your channel before now!
    15
  1166. Great video Professor Dave. This is my first time commenting on your channel, and I want to let you know that you are my hero. Words can not express how grateful I am for your work on informing the public about proper science and debunking pseudoscience like young earth creationism and flat earth. I am a freshman in college who is working towards a bachelors in physics and I much appreciated your lessons on physics and mathematics. Keep on doing what you are doing.
    15
  1167. I remember commenting on a lot of old videos of yours as a catholic. Been an Atheist for about two years now. Your videos like this helped me understand and come to that conclusion. Time to kick back and focus on this video. Have a nice week!

  1168. Watching the US sink into theocracy is so deeply saddening. Many people who haven't been abroad probably don't even know how deep the US has sank. Among developed nations, the US is an outlier in practically every metric of societal health there is, and the gap is widening. By a vast majority, the gun nuts, the bigots, the racists, the nationalists, the conspiracy theorists, the science deniers, the homophobes and the vultures who prey on the needy and can never have enough, are, or at least claim to be, people of faith. One may say think that I'm against religious people. I'm not. Many among my family and my friends are religious, I love them, and they are neither stupid nor bigoted. But here, in my very Christian European country, religion is personal. If a mainstream politician would attempt to publicly declare how God or Jesus guides their thinking and their policy, they would be instantly mocked and ridiculed by over 90% of my compatriots and the religious ones would join in the ridicule. Do we have theocrats? Yes, but they are in single digits and can't really influence things on such a level (although they do constantly try to). Like I said, religion is personal. As it should be. My heart goes out to my fellow rational humans in the US who are having to fight against the theocrats for non-negotiable and self-evident rights, like the right of women to choose how many childen they'll have and when, or the right of children to be educated in actual science. I wish I could do more, but I can only urge you to never give up, and to support people like Dave who speak up for values that actually matter.
    15
  1169. he is better than my anatomy teacher...lol
    15
  1170. Highly educative and a source of quick reminder of medical physiology. Pls.endeavour to continue production. Millions of appreciation.
    15
  1171. That went exactly as expected. Tour tried to snow the audience with meaningless details then screamed, literally screamed like a petulant child whenever a scientific reference was shown to him. He repeated the same lies he's been telling for years ('the science community won't let me publish on OOL!") and generally made a horse's ass of himself. He also dodged every question he was asked and just repeated his pre-canned talking points. Exactly as expected.
    15
  1172. Professor Dave you’re the best!!!!!
    15
  1173. Actually, there are immortal YouTubers. Neuro-sama, MotherV3, and probably many more. P1: Some YouTubers are AIs P2: All AIs are not alive C1: Some YouTubers are not alive P3: No non-living thing is mortal C2: Some YouTubers are immortal P4: Dave claimed that all YouTubers are mortal C3: Dave made a false statement
    15
  1174. Your book has been ordered. I can't wait to read it.
    15
  1175. You are gradually filling my brian with a great understanding of linear algebra. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    15
  1176. Thanks!
    15
  1177. Thanks!
    15
  1178. Lol I go to rice and I had to drop ochem and retake it because his class was ridiculous. He also tried to threaten to dox my roommate
    15
  1179. Just dropping by to say thanks, thanks a whole lot. I checked a lot of sources but none of them explained it as clearly as you did, with some of them straight up skipping things like graphing polar equations and/or turning from polar form to rectangular form.
    15
  1180. Thanks Professor Dave, I've finally understood something that I've been looking over for weeks!
    15
  1181. I so love this! On my way to understanding things! Thank you!! đŸ€—
    15
  1182. Sir you and and your lecture was simply superb!!! Thanks!!!!
    15
  1183. Hey James. I'm a synthetic organic chemist. Can you explain why you compared 13C NMR of a neat solution of ribose to what's essentially a reaction mixture? Only a really really stupid chemist would ever do such a thing. Not even an undergrad would make that dumb mistake. So why did you? I'm laughing pretty hard here, but not in the way I think you were hoping.
    15
  1184. You have honestly saved me in my first year of university! Thankyou soooo muc
    15
  1185. Thank you very much! Your video is the only one that actually helped me! It’s a pity I haven’t found you earlier :))
    15
  1186. I felt lost and was waiting for the lesson to finish, because I was like :" omg, how am I supposed to memorize all of that!" Then, my answers were all correct in the comprehension, that made me feel good. I think I get it. Thanks a lot professor, I could never do it without you.
    15
  1187. thank you SOOO much for making this. I've been struggling with kinematics really badly in class, and this explained it in such an easy and understandable way
    15
  1188. You rock man! gracias amigo. Im so happy to finally understand it
    15
  1189. Love all of the work you do. Your comment about miscarriages made me feel a certain way. My wife and I have struggled with infertility for 3 years, and hearing you talk so openly about something that can be such a hardship gave me a moment of comfort. Thank you.
    15
  1190. Got my first ever physics midterm on Monday and things are DEFINITELY starting to click better after watching these videos. Thank you!!
    14
  1191. As always, a geat lesson, fully, but uncomplicated, explaination! Thank you
    14
  1192. This video is awesome! And that outro....wow. Worthy of Carl Sagan, I think.
    14
  1193. Go Dave!
    14
  1194. Dear Dave, I know you prob won't see this comment but I just want to say thank you. I just got out of a 3 year relationship with a narc who though the was a genius, the same way Terrence does. It's honestly so scary how he and my ex just say the same things, with the same attitude of a Messiah. Watching this video was so healing for me because I didn't have the guts to stand up and clock my ex on his pure insanity, but in a way, you did. And I fing great healing knowing I was right all along and my ex was simply..dumb cosplaying a smart person. It's really crazy how much we can take when we carve the love of a person, how I longed to be chosen by him. I was stupid for staying but not dumb enough to think the earth is flat. tnx Dave.
    14
  1195. I read a book once called "Germs". You wouldn't think a book about germs would be that interesting but it was fascinating. It was actually germ warfare. Anthrax was apparently the most popular kind of pathogen to weaponize. I guess because it's not contagious. You don't want to conquer a land and make it so no one can go there. Also Botulinum toxin was talked about quite a bit.
    14
  1196. Thanks! Whenever Professor Dave takes these silly people apart, it’s always entertaining and enlightening. It’s great that Dave can pronounce the scientific terms so fluidly. I wish I had Dave as my science teacher. Thankfully we have his video series
    14
  1197. Dave u have helped me so much for my chem test tomorrow. I wish I found u earlier when I was taking bio
    14
  1198. People who believe the Earth is flat are not only idiots, they are criminals. They discard years of study and research of scientists in the past and present just due to their own ignorance. These people are not worth even discussing about, let alone have a video made about them. Professor Dave you have always enlightened us with your knowledge and unparalleled teaching skills and it's good to know the reasons why Flat Earth Model is wrong just for the sake of argument, but if this video was made for flat earthers, I believe you are much more than a person trying to argue with some flat headed idiots and should not waste you time trying to convince these folks, for they will never understand the beauty of science and always be chained to the curse of ignorance.
    14
  1199. i just want you to know that james tour’s orgo students at rice greatly thank you for your service đŸ«Ą
    14
  1200. dude the 3 calc professors at my school suck so much but you are amazing. you actually explain why things are the way they are instead of just writing long equations on the board and skipping steps
    14
  1201. Dave, your channel is the best. Period!
    14
  1202. For your headaches dealing with these people.. 😅 My appendix, lack of wisdom teeth, tailbone, nictitating membrane in my eye, jacobsons organ and arrector pilli muscles tell me different.
    14
  1203. Hi Professor Dave! You helped me sooo much before my test! U saved me and my classmates!
    14
  1204. It's really a shame you don't do more videos on debunking the flat earth. This little toe-dip of yours showed yourself to have tremendous value on that field :D Everyone in the comments agrees that this is easily one of the biggest ass-kickings those flerfers have ever received. Seeing your other content though, I understand that you're doing more important things... like teaching actual science. Keep up the good work, but don't be afraid of dipping back into the water-seeks-its-own-level pool of low hanging fruit again every once in a while :D
    14
  1205. This deserves a lot more attention and likes, it was beyond thorough !!!! Loved it !
    14
  1206. I like this new biological information! Thanks professors Dave!
    14
  1207. Hey Dave, (Just a warning this comment has nothing to do with the video, I just wanted to reach out to you so I found the latest video on your channel) I really appreciate your work. You got me through high school with your Physics and Math videos, and now for chemistry which I’m upgrading post high school. I was also very deeply religious and anti-evolution when I first started watching your stuff, I come from a Muslim background. Subboor, one of the guys you debunked- I worshipped that guy. I watched every one of his videos (while also watching your academic videos not knowing you even had debunking videos of any sort) and used his arguments everywhere in my online keyboard debates lol. Any way, I’ve come such a long way from that now. Your videos got me through some difficult self doubt periods and also existential crises when I eventually left my faith. I just wanted to know how one could be happy without God. I watched you and thought maybe deep down you were pretending to be happy or pretending like what you said made you satisfied. I just didn’t understand. I know you don’t have to not believe in God to accept science, but everything about my religion screams anti science and anti human rights. Don’t know how I found myself and make sense of most of the things in my life, but i did. And now it feels so good to watch your debunking videos because I understand exactly where you’re coming from. Or at least maybe close to it. It was so hard to let go of that old religious mindset. But I’m here and I have to thank you for it in part.
    14
  1208. The way James Tour kept saying "He read from a script" makes him sound like Chuck in Better Call Saul when he says "He defecated through a sunroof", so I wrote this: James: I am not crazy! I know he read that script! I knew Systems Chemistry is a lie! It says so in Genesis! As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot from the research group to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This cluelessness? He’s done worse. That video! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fact-check like that? No! He orchestrated it! Mr. Farina! He READ from a SCRIPT! And I debated him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own University! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn’t stop citing references! But not our Dave! Couldn’t be precious Dave! Debating them blind! And HE gets to be a Youtuber? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! 
And you, you have to stop him! You... EDIT: Omg I edited this comment and it removed Professor Dave's heart.
    14
  1209. I remember spending 3 years in a tutorial class and not understanding anything..... But your lectures actually made science easy.... And life easy.... Thanks a lot
    14
  1210. if any of my teachers in ANY of the high school classes I scraped through by the skin of my teeth were HALF as good at teaching their students as you seem to be, I would much likely developed a much healthier and disciplined approach to the dire importance of education. sadly now at age 30, while acknowledging its my own fault for fucking off academically, absolutely none of the teachers possessed the ability to make subjects interesting and engaging while remaining succinct enough to hold a students attention. I'm sure you get an insane amount of ass-hattery in your comment sections but incase you read this dave, props to the incredible amount of time and energy you put into your content; what you're doing is literally an invaluable resource for humanity. your commitment to making such a vast amount of knowledge available to everyone is the closest example of what I'd call a "consummate, true altruist" I can think of. admiration inspiration and respect, from kcmo
    14
  1211. That was piss funny haha. Love you Sweetie!
    14
  1212. Thank you for doing this video , i’ve been following Ben since the beginning and started to notice his attitude change I also noticed some of the things that you mentioned in this video about him ... I stopped buying into him three years ago he had me hook for 2 to 3 years but I saw through him after a while ... I figured Ben was a ConMan ... now all he does is regurgitate what Donald Trump says 😂
    14
  1213. Team up with a broadcasting company to make a 21st century version of Sagan's Cosmos. I'll bet it'll be better than Neil DeGrasse Tyson's, because his version felt dumbed down and like he was talking to the audience as children, whereas Sagan's from the 80s (and probably yours if you made one) clarified things concisely in an understandable way but definitely was meant for a more engaged audience.
    14
  1214. keep it up, con men like him do not deserve to exist
    14
  1215. As a radiologist I'm ashamed to see a colleague talking out of his ass on things that we're not even remotely qualified to analyze or debate. Radiologists have some understanding of physics, a bit over the average high school graduate but no way near a physicist or an astronomer. That's because we're primarily doctors, learning just enough physics to understand our equipment and make small tweaks here and there when needed, but overall these technical parts represent less than 20% of our specialty training. One thing I noticed that may excuse my unfortunate colleague is a slight asymmetry in his facial expressions, especially while he's talking, hinting that he might have suffered a stroke affecting his reasoning and/or cognitive abilities.
    14
  1216. I want 10 copies, is there a bulk discount?
    14
  1217. I'm a USF student and you're my go to guy when I can't remember something or need to re-learn it. Thank you!
    14
  1218. love absolutely everything on your channel, nothing is ever convoluted and also so easy to understand!! thank you chemistry jesus <3
    14
  1219. i hate learning about this type of thing so much because of how much of it needs to be understood on a more conceptual level. But your video and explanation is phenomenal. I still hate this subject matter, but thanks to you I now have a fighting chance of learning it all.
    14
  1220. hi Dave, just wanted to say thank you for being you! you have no idea how much your channel has contributed to my education! (from Australia!! :)
    14
  1221. So glad there are still teachers who will just teach the history without taking a break every sentence to remind us that slavery is evil or to make snide remarks about white men. I love your videos on all the various subjects and appreciate that you make the resource available. In current year it seems like the only educated people around are those who actively seek out education rather than relying on the school system that's been dumbing down everything for years and always trying to be "hip" and "relatable."
    14
  1222. You’re the best teacher I ever had. And I’m 35.. your spirit, animations and explanations rock. thank you!
    14
  1223. Hope you hit a million subs,views and likes! :)
    14
  1224. I was so bad at this in college but your videos have helped me prep these types of questions for the MCATs. I was able to get it right on my own! Thanks so much professor dave!
    14
  1225. Hey Dave, I've been enjoying the lonely wild. I see no reason why you guys didn't take off, it has to be just bad luck. Those melancholy chord changes are to die for
    13
  1226. I FUCKING LOVE YOU, i HAVE MY ORGO FINAL IN 50 MINUTES - YOU LITERALLY EXPLAINED IT PERFECTLY, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU
    13
  1227. Your way of explaining is special. Thanks
    13
  1228. Thanks!
    13
  1229. Your videos are fantastic. Not boring like my math teacher at school but not like "some" YouTubers who keep using gimmicks and memes—they are HORRIBLE and should get sued. Learning is learning, and sometimes it's not SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. Great job!!
    13
  1230. As someone who's met narcissists, I can definitely say that when it come to people like James and the DI, it's not about science or even religion; it's about constantly finding someone to hate and yell at. James and the DI are seemingly compulsively driven to find people to call the banes of their existences. Because without an object of hate, without someone to direct anger at, they have to look inwards (i.e., do ACTUAL psychoanalysis). And to a megalomaniac, the possibility that they might be the tiniest bit wrong is basically the equivalent of the Armageddon. That's why James' life choices are seemingly driven by a desire to create an echo chamber (e.g., his research has nothing to do with OoL, he only has DI zombies appear on his channel) while constantly talking about how OoL researchers or even people who talk about OoL are stupid, evil, etc. Now why James directs his anger towards OoL is beyond me. Maybe he hated studying evolution in elementary or middle school and this is his way of getting revenge. Or maybe he's so arrogant, he literally thinks he's the next Aristotle, da Vinci, and Einstein combined.
    13
  1231. Informative and made simple, thank you :)
    13
  1232. Excellent video prof. Teach us more about physiology
    13
  1233. Professor Dave is the undisputed master of flat Earth debunking. I can watch these debunk videos over and over and never get bored.
    13
  1234. Thank you Professor, your lectures are epic.
    13
  1235. Lol my Italian teacher gave my class a video from Professor Dave a while back to help us understand some things and now I just love watching this channel for the content and interesting facts (along with debunking conspiracy theories), thank you Professor Dave for making my Italian class tons more fun! :D
    13
  1236. Thanks!
    13
  1237. I used to follow you during chemestry lessons, now i am refreshing italian with you, even though i am italian native :D. Sometimes it gets confusing. Thanks man, see you in Italy
    13
  1238. I work for a local water and sewer agency and have been a practicing Civil Engineer consultant with a specialty in planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining water treatment and distribution systems for 30 years. I can't tell you how many times I've come across the fluoride conspiracy in my career; or the number of times I've had to defend the practice of water fluoridation to maniacs who really believe fluoridation was invented by the government to cow a population. Thank you, Professor Dave, for taking on this most ridiculous of conspiracy theories. I'll be keeping this gem of a video conveniently thumbnailed for professional purposes.
    13
  1239. Thank you Professor Dave-- I used to think these were so frustrating, but now I think they're beautiful :)
    13
  1240. Hey Professor Dave. Last year was one of the worst years ever in my entire educational life. I was pulled deeper into the chains of depression due to academic failure as the year went on. This continued until I had to drop 2 of my AP classes (Currently a HS Junior). I would just like to thank you for helping me bring my way back up to be on-par if not exceedingly past the expectations of my age.
    13
  1241. My god, I didn't know he was peddling such bullshit,unsubbed, i have sciencedaily for solar activity news, i dont need to be supporting such a toxic person
    13
  1242. Thank You. For giving me knowledge today, and for the rest of my life, professor dave.
    13
  1243. Can't be more thankful to you,Dave!
    13
  1244. Thank you, you're doing society a great service!!
    13
  1245. Thankyou for the video on Heat Capacity, Specific Heat, and Calorimetry.-Alexis Kironde.
    13
  1246. couldn't have been explained any better. Perfect. Thanks my man! I feel extremely confident with it right now. It's time to look through all your other spectroscopy videos!
    13
  1247. You're the best in the business, thank you
    13
  1248. This is exactly what I was looking for! Not too dumbed down, but not too complex. Thank you!
    13
  1249. The methods of channels like S0 are consistent with the tactics of online radicalization by terrorists, cult leaders, and sexual abusers (i.e., identify vulnerable populations, sow doubt in the ‘mainstream’ views and communities, isolate them claiming only they know the truth and that the mainstream is the false narrative to be rejected out of hand, repeat false claims until viewers believe they are true, convince viewers that they should only believe them and reject other views out of hand, and finally, accelerate the timeline with urgent messages of impending crisis and urge that people must act (buy his stuff, attack his critics, listen only to him) to save themselves). It is a Doomsday Cult.
    13
  1250. thank you so much Professor Dave this helped me so much to complete my 1st remote learning assignment after COVID19 shut down our CUNY system...your amazing!!!!!!!!
    13
  1251. Thanks!
    13
  1252. Boom, and just like that I understand the electrochemical series. Serious props to you!
    13
  1253. Can't thank you enough for the amazing debunk and prevention of these cranks and conmen. Consider this a little token of my appreciation! Plus, they make great background noise.

  1256. Wow this is the best playlist on organic chemistry ever, I am not confused about a single thing!
    13
  1257. Thanks!
    13
  1258. I love this series and am excited for what's yet to come - Eric Weinstein, more Discovery institute, updates on the looney bin aka Billy Carson and Terrence Howard... It's amazing to have so much entertainment back to back to back. The pace at which you debunk frauds is unmatchable, and if education ever wins the battle against grifters, we owe it to people like you that let facts and rational arguments speak for themselves. Keep it up, Prof. Dave!
    13
  1259. Do you have a better method to deal with them, one that's supported by scientifically verifiable evidence? If yes make your own videos. If no you're just another tone whiner.
    13
  1260. Great video. This explains exactly what our NGSS STEM Chem students need for a review of concepts in nuclear changes. Thank you!
    13
  1261. Thank you for taking the time to bring these things to light.... With everything going on around us , nothing surprises me anymore and I have a general distrust of the government... that clearly left me vulnerable to his lawyer speak and daily doom. I fell for it. Hook. Line. and sinker...... I decided to do some digging on him after watching his 3 part series with the finale of the coming apocalypse. I was anxious and terrified my poor boyfriend showing him Ben's videos. we were even talking about getting a separate property in a "safer" area as part of our 10 year plan.... sigh....I feel so gullible.
    13
  1262. I’ve watched a lot of videos from other sites struggling to get an intuitive understanding of the Taylor series. After watching this, I’m finally getting it, and finding Dave’s other videos just as great.Really helpful, thanks so much!
    13
  1263. Professor Dave has a Moog bag and some synthesisers on the table behind him. Professor Dave is cool.
    13
  1264. This is great, i am half way through Gilbert Strangs MIT course on calculus, and this is exactly what he is talking about. It is so great to learn all this stuff a second time right now, wish i had known this or were interested in it when i was in high school.
    13
  1265. Professor Dave, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your tireless dedication to defending truth and reason. Your work not only educates but also empowers countless individuals worldwide. Thank you for standing firm against the circus of pseudoscience and helping us all see through the distractions created by creationist rhetoric. Your efforts are invaluable in advancing a more informed, rational world. Keep up the outstanding work—you have my total support and respect!
    13
  1266. So excited to see that you are also interested in Indian Education system !! I appreciate your efforts.. with love from India ❀
    13
  1267. Thanks! However at 9:49 I think you missed to factor out the “a” when you took out e ^aik which you took out as e^ik however since you multiplier t by t* it didn’t matter as either e^ik . e^-ikx would be cancelled just as would e ^ aik . e ^-aik . Otherwise unless I am wrong minus this minor factoring out error it is a very great explanation much better than MIT lectures! If I am wrong plz correct me!

  1268. Keep up Professor! Your videos have laid a solid foundation to my knowledge in astrology. Thanks for your hard work!

  1269. white man with degree be angry why so angry Jim? why so angry?

  1270. ugh, used a super thanks but It wouldn't post. I hope the money went through. Anyways here is what I wanted to say: This and, a variety of other situations, is why objective thinking needs to be taught at an early age.  Don't just accept accept what someone else thinks, question it.  More education directed at objective thinking has the potential to greatly reduce the dissemination of disproven pseudo science.  And on top of that, I suspect it would make people less likely to fall for many of the financial scams that exist these days.  You've presented this in a way that most people can understand (including flat earthers) and for that I thank you.
    12
  1271. In my opinion. He is the best science channel I’ve seen so far. Literally helped me understand physics right when I was not feeling confident. And funny as heck! (I low key wanna grow up to be similar to him)
    12
  1272. This is what we call ladies and gentlemen; a $ video. Clean asf and articulate
    12
  1273. Unfortunately stupidity has been made into a commodity... people have realized that they can profit by assuring the unintelligent that all the incorrect things they believe are actually correct. Science has it all wrong, education is just brainwashing, and elections are rigged unless our guy wins, then they were fair. Confirmation Bias has been made profitable; a clear freefall to the bottom and we are falling fast. The only real question is can it be turned around before stupidity reaches critical mass? I don't think it will be pretty if we wait until the system self-corrects.

  1274. With all the horrible, despicable shit coming out about James' time at Rice, I am really detesting him more and more. I used to think he was just some scientist mindlessly and dishonestly spouting Creationist nonsense, but seeing just how deep the rabbit hole goes, gives me a brand-new level of utter repugnance and disgust for the man. He needs to be taken down. Dave, you are to James, as Brian Deer was to Andrew Wakefield, or Harry Brewis (HBomberGuy) to James Somerton. Keep it up! <3 As Abraham Lincoln said to Ulysses S Grant: "I have received your dispatch expressing your unwillingness to break your hold where you are. Neither am I willing. Hold on with a bulldog’s grip and chew and chop, as much as possible.”
    12
  1275. this was honestly the best explanation i have ever seen on this topic! Thank you so much :)
    12
  1276. You've been with me ever since highschool man, Love ur vids!!!!
    12
  1277. I remember following your tutorials for organic chemistry while preparing for JEE three years ago, and the only content of yours I had watched other than the tutorials was your first video about flat earth. It was a pleasant surprise when I rediscovered your channel and saw you had tutorials up for multivariable calculus and more advanced topics! I also binge-watched a lot of the debunks and while I can't claim to have understood the science entirely, they did provide a reason for me to study sincerely at a time when I was losing hope in myself. Coming to the James Tour debate, I admit I couldn't understand much of the chemistry, but I knew you were on the right. Anyone with a pair of eyeballs and a working knowledge of English can see how James misrepresents papers(the tactic with Benner's paper was especially pathetic). And while I find it difficult to reconcile the "professor"(or the "chemistry Jesus", as one of my friends back then joked) image with the coarse-tongued persona, I understand it is well-deserved in most cases, if not all.  The debate was very uncomfortable to watch. I wish you were less meaner(though of course, James shouted like a maniac right from the beginning), but looking at the sheer amount of trolls after the debate(both here and on Twitter), I understand the tone. I skipped to the QnA section and I loved the moment when James was going "You have a job AND a family, Wow" and you quickly showed the list of ad hominems and asked him if he'd retract any of them. I would love to see the scientific community's to that entire section("I publish several papers regarding my field, but I won't for OoL, I want my 'knowledge' to reach the general public"), or for that matter, the entire debate. I hope it will be possible to get their reaction. I also hope you don't let this circus affect your mental health, and you continue to make high-quality lectures/debunks. 
    12
  1278. i love you professor dave :(
    12
  1279. Thanks Dave! You really have helped me over the years! You are a TON better than Crash Course!
    12
  1280. people who believe in a flat earth are the same people that think that there really are MILFs in their area that want to fuck them.
    12
  1281. You are amazing. You should have your own online university. I wish these u tube videos existed when I was in school 6 decades ago!
    12
  1282. Thanks Dave, I have watched 100s of your videos and now I’m in love with science and the more I learn the more I want to know. Thanks for helping this 41yr old high school drop out, understand what I’ve been missing for so many years. I recommend you to anyone and everyone. It (Prof Dave Explains) has changed my world more than you could possibly imagine. From a small suburban town in Melbourne, Australia. I appreciate all your content and Thank you Dave Farina :)
    12
  1283. I found your channel couple of weeks ago, i watched some of your videos and i want to thank you for doing this. I wish my teachers in school were like you.
    12
  1284. Thanks!
    12
  1285. Thanks again Professor Dave! This was hurting my head a LOT from a text book but the colour sequencing and accompanying talkover is really helping me!
    12
  1286. Thanks! Hope it's enough to grab some tacos and cold beer while you're in Texas. Safe travels!
    12
  1287. Literally my midterm is tomorrow and this video explained everything I didn't understand in 9 minutes better than my chem prof did in two weeks THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
    12
  1288. Professor Dave, I have been a long-time subscriber and watched at least a hundred plus videos from you over the years. I have benefited a lot from watching your videos. Just over 6 months ago, I became a royalty-published author at age 23, fighting against my lifelong battle of Autistic Discrimination from firsthand trials. "Juggling the Issues: Living with Asperger's Syndrome" (ISBN 9781581697117) is being sold in multiple countries worldwide. I was diagnosed about the age of 6. I never allowed Autism/Asperger's to slow me down! I earned a degree in chemistry, juggle for elementary schools since I was in high school, & play piano for seniors on Sunday mornings. I encourage children to never give up on their passions; if I can do it, so can you! My book is even sold out at Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Waterstones, Book Depository, Indiebound and other book distributors. My book and story were on a Spanish radio program in Panama for nearly 7 minutes. Plus, the book has over 1,150 likes on my Facebook page for the book, with followers from every continent except Antarctica. I have had teasing/discrimination, been called many names and worse , and now, I am making a difference to hundreds of children - encouraging them that THEY HAVE A PURPOSE If I can do it, so can you! I'm not "cured" but I'm making it my life's passion to be an encouragement to everybody - especially children, teachers, and their families. And Autism isn't going to stop me! Enjoyed the video. Thank you, Professor Dave Farina for what you do. 👍😀
    12
  1289. I have a intersession exam nxt week and this video help me alot thank youuuuuu
    12
  1290. Thank you, thank you, thank you Professor. Your chemistry course is wonderful. The best I've ever watched or read. Even the Intro video was very instructive, and what you said about learning chemistry should be said as an introduction to every science course ... because it is the very definition of science: "unless you fundamently understand molecules, all you can do is repeat things you've heard ... but how do you know if what you've heard is right ?". I fell in love with this quote and couldn't help but say it to all the people I know whose reasoning is medieval and not scientific (and there are many of them). I live in Algeria by the way.
    12
  1291. Great explained. Real information and not exaggerations as opposed to many other space videos. đŸ‘đŸŒ
    12
  1292. I SO appreciate your videos. They are top quality content. Your topics are focused and videos are just the right length. You are articulate and clear, and your examples further clarify any possible confusing circumstances that might arise in the topic you are lecturing on. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    12
  1293. Video is certified hylobatid approved. Also I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that the DI would be DIshonest.
    12
  1294. I just came across this for the first time, having somehow missed it in my previous university modules, and I swear that you're the only person who managed to make this seem like the simple concept that it is. I came across Khan Academy's explanation first, and they made such a song and dance of it I was lost within 5 minutes xd
    12
  1295. I see you making new videos. Your O-Chem videos are the best.
    12
  1296. I’m just starting out with this series. I’ve been through college algebra/trigonometry formally and used trig and algebra fairly often in my career. Now, I’m retired and trying to brush up on my science education, but I find things either too simple or I don’t understand the math. Hopefully, I can get refreshed back to where I was, though it was 35 years ago, and go beyond. I’ve always found calculus a bit mystifying, as well as anything beyond. But, I like your style of explanation, and find I can understand what you explain pretty well. Thanks in advance, Dave!
    12
  1297. Really liking these math videos. You should do a series on modern algebra as well.
    12
  1298. This is the best science page I've encountered yet!
    12
  1299. Hi Dave, Im an art director at a pharmaceutical advertising agency and have been a fan of your debunking and space-centered content for a while. when I began working on a drug for multiple myeloma, i found your oncological pharmaceuticals videos and they helped me understand the drugs better than most of the people on my team. I then watched the pharmaceutical history videos and It helped me gain a real appreciation for the industry. Thank you for sharing your brain with us.
    12
  1300. Professor dave, both you and Aron ra have been fundamental figures in my breaking away from my religion and i cannot thank you enough. The immense amount of knowledge you are able to convey in such an increidble manner is nothing short of amazing. While watching you videos im usuallynin disbelief to how someone devised these scripts to be so digestable,informative, and direct. I appreciate your work on a scale you cant imagine and i wish you the best of luck in the rest of your life.
    12
  1301. My family is from there, so I get to be mad at that one. 😂😂😂
    12
  1302. I've lobbed praise at your channel a few times now but its worth repeating -- your channel is such a positive contribution to the collective intellect of the world. You're a powerhouse of knowledge and it truly feels like you were meant to do exactly what this channel does and you do it with an obvious respect for succinct craftsmanship while remaining uncompromising in citing research to support what you present. It really is top notch. Your editors and producers do great work too. Yo, Universe! Protect this man at all costs.
    12
  1303. My teacher linked one of your videos as a part of our a lab class, that we couldn't attend because of this pandemic, and I have to say it's probably the best thing that happend lately lol. Thank you for posting such a helpful content
    12
  1304. This douchebags series was played at a church I got dragged into. After the second part of his series I started arguing with everyone and using my phone to prove he was wrong. (Im not a chemist or biologists) I dont know how many times i was told that I dont understand what Tour was saying or how dare I claim to know more than an actual chemist. People like him are disgusting. He gives simple people proof they are correct because he is an "expert". We cant go back there. I counted that as a win though.
    12
  1305. "giant horse conch." -Professor Dave, 2023
    12
  1306. I was so confused in class, but now it all makes sense, thanks professor Dave!
    12
  1307. It's so funny that you helped me through college level chemistry courses and also helped me leave a religious indoctrination
    12
  1308. This video is just perfect lol. Thank you for this Dave.
    12
  1309.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Yeah, I don't recall seeing a post from you in her thread but didn't know you hadn't seen it. When I first checked out this video it was less than an hour after you uploaded it and when I went to the comments and found her post it was posted not that long after you uploaded the video. Now she MAY have watched you entire video and then posted, but her post was fairly long and coming so soon after your upload leads me to conclude that she may not have watched you entire video before posting .. it happens and I've been guilty of that as well. I wish I'd snapshotted the comments, but I didn't expect the thread to disappear. Lastly, I really appreciate that you are delving into this aspect of science influencers including the Weinstein's before her -- the attack against science is, as I indicated in a prior, not just an attack on science but a broader attempt at convincing people that you can't trust anything. It is a path that nations that rely heavily in disinformation use to make an adversary doubt their leaders in all fields, particularly political. The political environment we are in today in the USA has been largely effected by the growing distrust in all out institutions and the consequence for our democracy is dire.
    12
  1310. thank you for always saving me before class/tests. I had to watch this 3 times to get it but I'm confident I understand it now
    12
  1311. 39:48 to be fair, I am in the habit of watching 2-hour long videos, and i am a fledgling scientist (still in College but have done some research and stuff, and planning on going into the industry! Actually i was really inspired by you because i have always loved chemistry and I'm currently pursuing a degree in it! )
    12
  1312. I literally can't thank you enough, you make chem easy to understand
    12
  1313. I have watch you since high shcool, now as a third year med student... I can't belive you're still teaching me things ! THANK YOU
    12
  1314. I recently started watching you because of my org chem class. Thank you professor dave! You are a life saver. :D
    12
  1315. thank u so much for ur lessons they are so useful .. i actually speak 3 languages involving my native tongue which i speak very easily now i am living in a Spanish speaking country where i am learning Spanish and Italian .. thanks a million Professor
    12
  1316. Dave...you are amazing, I it seems like a chunk when learning but so much easier when you explain!!!
    12
  1317. Keep fighting the good fight Dave.
    11
  1318. Keep up the great work. Your educational videos are lovely and your debunking videos are great entertainment.
    11
  1319. You are literally the only person/professor that makes learning and literally everything easy.. Thank you so much.. you are the best!!!!!
    11
  1320.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  One only has to view your plethora of science and math educational videos to know that you deserve every friggin dollar (and then some) that you make debunking these asshats. PS: thanks for getting me up to speed in record time on balancing chemical equations. Succinct , got me where I needed to be in no time. Zero wasted words.
    11
  1321. Perfect, you sound native.
    11
  1322. good job
    11
  1323. Wow. It blows my mind that you learned multiple instruments. Your drum and piano playing is remarkable. When it comes to music, there are people who have to work super hard and can only get so far. Then there are others, which it seems like you, that are able to work hard and are rocketed into the sky!
    11
  1324. A lot of it covered in such a short time. The best series for Multivariable calculus.
    11
  1325. You can thank me for spending over an hour relentlessly replying to almost every one of suboors minions bombarding them with facts that they go quiet on. Obviously his minions onky know info according to suboor which is obviously lies without double checking anything
    11
  1326. Thanks! This series is detailed and soooo helpful!
    11
  1327. Thanks!
    11
  1328. Best Organic Chemistry channel
    11
  1329. Thank you so much no kidding
    11
  1330. good stuff dave, i just want to thank you, you have fundamentally changed the way i see the world and thus am working to be a better person and educating myself i wish you the best in life and your a good human being dave thank you for exsisting ❀
    11
  1331. When I make it through med school and secure my first solid position, professor Dave is getting a nice "thank you" donation to his patreon ❀
    11
  1332. I am from Iraq, from the ninth stage i never thought that there is explaining for my book cuz iam from the brilliant so my book is different from the other schools, Thanks a lot I am gonna say for my teacher about your channel.💜💜💜👏.
    11
  1333. Grazie mille, Professore Dave. Le tue spiegazioni sono chiare e utili!
    11
  1334. Thanks!
    11
  1335. You are amazing!!!! Thank you for letting us use your videos for free because as students is hard to afford good explanations like yours!!!! you rock!!!!!!
    11
  1336. Thanks a lot ♡
    11
  1337.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  If I knew a famous awesome person with 2.48 million subs with a gazillion views would read and leave a response to my comments, I would have never leave comments in the first place.đŸ˜‚đŸ€Ł What are the odds. Love your vids btw!
    11
  1338. OMG! I have been totally duped by this guy. Thanks for putting out such a great video!
    11
  1339. Two words- Explained Awesomely. Thankk Professor Dave!
    11
  1340. Thanks! Please teach me more philosophy.
    11
  1341. Thanks!
    11
  1342. I'm a chiropractic student and I just wanted to say you're helping me so much :)
    11
  1343. Hey Dave. Thanks for these videos. Youve been tremendously helpful during all my undergrad science classes. Disregard all the Kent Hovind hate. Your actions speak louder than his words :)
    11
  1344. I love you Dave! You have been an indescribably amazing help in my journey to become a biochemist or potentially biologist. I love science in ever form, and it all excites me, and I'm not entirely sure what I want to progress to and your tutorials on nearly all fields help me gain a grasp on all of them. It's all so awesome but I have to make a decision soon because I return to college soon. Also how is everyone not just blown away by the existence of the natural world and the fact that we know so much (and simultaneous next to nothing) about it.
    11
  1345. Thanks!
    11
  1346. thumb up for the great work. This video helps me pronounce the words better. thanks!
    11
  1347. Hahahahahahahahaba, I love how you’re exposing these clowns with the “main character disorder and the donner kruger effect “left and right.Keep doing “ God’s “ work my man.
    11
  1348. One of my PhD colleagues (we're all chemistry PhDs) was cracking jokes about James Tour's charlatan nonsense. Nobody respects him
    11
  1349. This is so incredibly helpful for me! I'm on my first semester of Chemical Engineering, and my math is, to say the very least, lacking. Professor Dave's classes on top of my Teacher's is just that extremely needed extra push. Reviewing stuff, taking formulas... I always come back to this channel for both! And it's not just calculus! Chemistry (even the lab stuff), physics... There's everything you need and with awesome explanations! Personally, even the way Prof. Dave talks (in a non rushed, clear way) is very helpful, considering English is not my first language. Thank you so much for what you do, professor! You're honestly so good at what you do!!
    11
  1350. thank you so much! I am currently studying for a math cst test and this helped clear up some difficulties I had with higher order polynomials! thank you
    11
  1351. Thanks, Profesor ! Your videos help me a lot.
    11
  1352. These videos debunking EU are excellent. Thank you. A unsettling observation is that if you scratch just a little below the surface of EU there seems to be a disproportionate number of followers that support creationism and they use similar tactics like taking people to the point of ignorance, introduce doubt and use that doubt to push their belief. After all if Science is false then god must be true right?
    11
  1353. Danke!
    11
  1354. Thanks!
    11
  1355. Good lord Dave
 how you’re able to make a video over an hour about 200 spoofs from Eric Dumbass is beyond me😂. I mean, there really is no end to the retardation from the cult of flerfs, is there?đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž Number 4, no đŸ€Ź, Sherlock! Numbers 13, 14, 67-96; he’s says we see too far, but then contradicts himself with number 142: not seeing far enough, real stupid. Number 15, even if airplanes did escape Earth’s gravity, does he expect us to breathe with the emergency air masks in space??? Numbers 32 and 33, even with a basic high school diploma/education, I’m smarter than this excuse of a yoga teacher. Number 106, yeah, not real on his pizza land
 Number 113 and 114, I at LEAST understand there’s no up/down in space, and I fail to understand his definition of common sense. I could go on, but this thread might be too long. Thanks for the laughs, ProfessorđŸ«Ą
    11
  1356. Thanks! Nothing better then seeing you destroy Pseudo Science. Keep doing that and there will be more where that came from.
    11
  1357. Dave, you are the goat for creating your rational content regarding this. My son came to me one day regurgitating the pseudoscientific nonsense on YouTube. I showed him your videos and being a physics guru, I explained the rationale that I already knew. It helped solidify the truth for him. Thank you.
    11
  1358. Firstly, amazing video! I was formerly a Christian myself but as a cell biology and genetics major, it was only a matter of time before all the questions piled up and I instead opted for Atheism and humanism instead. Funnily enough, I was actually a student of Tour in his organic chemistry class and tbh he was a pretty crappy lecturer (probably one of the worst I’ve had). It’s funny how so many of the arguments you point out he also would mention in class as well (basically turning orgo into a creationist lecture sometimes). Thanks for the great content as always and thank you especially for helping me get through chemistry these past few years :)
    11
  1359. i found this bloke's video essays this morning. since then i've watched about 8 hours worth, and achieved nothing else all day. and i consider the day well spent. he seems to cover nearly all my interests. astronomy, biology, latin even!. if he had ones on Greek and electronics too he would cover everything i care about.
    11
  1360. I just came back here to comment that I am really grateful to watched your videos when I self review for my board exam because it really help me a lot. And because of that, I passed the board exam today. THANK YOU PROFESSOR DAVE 💕
    11
  1361. Dear Dave, I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible work you do. Your videos are not only informative but also deeply inspiring. I am truly in awe of your commitment to creating high-quality content that goes beyond debunking pseudoscience and into the realms of natural sciences, history, and culture. It’s so refreshing to see someone like you staying true to their values, not compromising or switching to chasing view counts, as so many others do. You focus on meaningful education and knowledge, and that’s what makes your work so exceptional. It’s clear how much heart and effort you put into your videos, and I want you to know that it doesn’t go unnoticed. Your dedication to making education accessible and enriching is truly admirable. Thank you for making such a positive impact on so many lives, including mine. Your work means more than you might know. Dave, thank you from the bottom of my heart
    11
  1362.  @ProfessorDaveExplains , and of course you were correct. Thank you again for taking the time to reply.
    11
  1363. Thanks, this helped me out a LOT
    11
  1364. Thank you,professor. Your videos are amazing.
    11
  1365. You deserve at least 10x the number of subscribers.
    11
  1366. Thank you for making these and putting so much in short videos, but no overdoing it.
    11
  1367.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Ask him why he lied about being a commercial pilot. I can send you links and video proof if you wish. ( I saved it all before exposing him)  Mention his lie every time you refer to him in a video. That will shut him up. He was irrefutably busted on this.
    11
  1368. I’m a junior in high school. I’ve struggled with mental illness much of my highschool career - when I struggled to get caught up after hospitalizations and general lack of motivation to do anything, your videos really, really helped me out. Sorry for the sob story, but I just wanted to express how much I appreciate you putting out these videos and helping me get my gpa up so I can hopefully go to my dream college. Thank you, Professor Dave
    11
  1369. Hey I’m a young student who’s looking to go into the medical field in a few years and your videos are very insightful, thank you so much!
    11
  1370. Thank you for this. I had watched some of his videos back in 2014 and found them interesting and subbed. Forgot about it, Graduated from college with a degree in science, and today decided to check in. When I searched your fraud video came up first and by halfway through the video I unsubbed. Thanks for the heads up.
    11
  1371. Amazing how these clero-fascists pretend to posses 0,001% of trustworthiness ! Thanks for these debunks!
    11
  1372. Thanks!
    11
  1373. Thanks. This helped me greatly in a discussion with a friend who falling for the rubbish put out by DI
    11
  1374. Thank you for exposing these Christian nationalists, it’s more important than ever with religious extremism pretty much taking over our judicial branch. I’m grateful to all of you. For anyone who likes this kind of stuff you should also check out Gutsick Gibbon & Forrest Valkai, both are PHD candidates who also debunk creation pseudoscience.
    11
  1375. A debate like this is literally a Catch-22 for any science communicator out there: When both the science communicator and science fraud debate calmly, the flock goes "Wow what an awesome debate, both sides had great points, but I'm going to have go with the science fraud for the winner since I understand him the most!" When both the science communicator and the science fraud lose their tempers, the flock goes "This debate was a total crapshow, the science communicator clearly was acting in bad faith and lost the debate!" When the science communicator remains calm and the science fraud flips the hell out, the flock goes "Look at how passionate the science fraud is, he clearly won the debate over that virgin beta male of a science communicator!" When the science communicator flips the hell out and the science fraud remains calm, the flock goes "Look how evil and unhinged the science communicator is, clearly the science fraud is in the right!" The delusion and mind-bending would make Big Brother and the Party of 1984 hang their heads in shame.
    11
  1376. I'm a Muslim and I found your channel from my learning resources in my Biomed courses. I've watched Subboor for years, so this back 'n forth is surprising. You'd expect me to support him, but I actually do not. I am 100% rooting for you, I want his ID propaganda destroyed because it's seriously ruining our representation (it's embarrassing). So please, get him for me, Dave. He's a nice guy, but his pseudo-intellectual project just has to end
    11
  1377. I really like your debunking. You do it best. I will buy your book for friends of mine who are homeopaths as soon as it is available in german. I'm even thinking about offering you to translate the book.
    10
  1378. Incredible debate Professor Dave. It's unfortunate you had to deal with a compulsive liar as well as a crowd of brain dead cheerleaders. You showed more restraint than i ever could
    10
  1379. Thanks

  1385. The Hindi audio is almost perfectly translated,but i think some other people may find the vocabulary a little bit difficult. We can compare this to the vocabulary of an elite class british person. I think the problem is not the translator but the problem is the subject (philosophy). People find the Hindi vocabulary hard because they use many english words in their day to day conversation so they actually don't know the Hindi words. You should continue like this. I'm pretty sure that all other Indian viewers will also like it. Have a good day.

  1386. Notes from watching what I thought would be tedious but was instead fairly hilarious: Tour's first words on the topic are false. I am not surprised. 100% purity of the enantiomeric molecules of life is not needed, they just need a catalyst that can accentuate any fluctuation of imbalance in the two stereo forms in order to shift far enough from equilibrium to allow life reactions to proceed. I believe we now have 4 instances of such reactions in the literature. Claiming you are giving away a point just to expedite debate when that point would be an easy win for your opponent is definitely a debate trick, from the "I have never debated" person in this debate. -- Around 10:00 I note that his 4th slide topic involves the term "specified information" which is entirely religious in nature. More when we get there. (1:18:00) -- Around 11:00 Tour provides a good definition for life as it exists now. But such a definition does not deal with the fuzzy parts of modern life such as viruses and prions which meet a subset of the conditions tested to proclaim some system 'alive'. 12:45- the minimal requirements for a modern cell are not those that are mandatory for an ancient one. This is setting up an additional criterion for the determination of life, a requirement that all possible living systems must function identically to the one we know. Such argumentation often results in the fallacy of ignorance, an insistence that a lack of knowledge equals a lack of existence. 14:00 is claiming that we must have valid hypotheses on all 5 of his posted items to not be clueless. But to be clueless we would need to have no valid hypotheses about any of them. Tour does not seem to honor the basics of logic and mapping common speech into logic. 18:00 Farina starts with ad hominem statements, not cool. 22:45 Dave's first valid criticism, pointing out that Tour admits to not having read 95% of the papers he said do not exist. 33:00 Tour has picked out a particular peptide pairing and insists that unless that one can happen spontaneously that we are clueless. He hasn't suggested that prebiotic molecules cannot start interacting unless all known reactions are independently possible. IE he is not acknowledging that reactions that would form a catalyst for the one he has picked gets around his objection. 34:30 moderator makes a comment that I couldn't quite make out but it sounds like Dave pointed out that it was reasonable to use borate in an NMR measurement of chemistry that takes place on borate containing minerals. 37:00 Tour is claiming that Dave did not present how to do the particular reactions despite Dave having provided papers that did so, according to their abstract. He is supposed to be answering a question about his claim that textbooks show a primordial soup model. 39:00 Tour is modifying what he said earlier, he is adding a restriction to 'only a dozen people' sized community by at this point claiming he was only talking about one splinter of that group. THIS IS STRAIGHT UP DISHONEST! 45:00 Tour is again insisting that the original chemistry have the selectivity of the present observed collections of molecules. He is arguing against a strawman of spontaneous creation of the present system rather than it having evolved from less selective, less efficient ones. ** 50:00 Moderator interjects with the same logical failure that Tour makes of insisting on one step molecules to modern life chemistry, an insistence that modern cells are the only assemblage of chemical systems which can be alive. ** 1:02:00 Tour starts yelling about enzymes being essential for a reaction. That is categorically false, enzymes affect reaction rates, not the possibility of a reaction. For a reaction to be impossible the energy barrier height must be greater than any available-to-be-borrowed energy source, else the reaction is limited by quantum tunneling potential. Tour is demonstrating the tendency for creationists to treat everything as binary-- pass/fail, either all of it works or none of it works. The need for such stark distinctions is per psychologists a feature of child thinking patterns, the inability to deal with nuance. 1:06:00 I looked up the reaction Dave is mentioning, he is right, Tour is again adding an undeclared condition for life left out of his definition, that perhaps he left out because it is important but not essential. 1:18:00 Finally on to the intelligent design crap "specified information". 1:19:15 equivocation- 'contingent information' being treated as 'specified information', they are not the same at all. 'Specified' implies a prior intention while contingent information can spontaneously form. Other examples of spontaneous information: every spectrum of a star. 1:19:59 "source of information" is begging the question, the only source needed for information is the possibility of more than one configuration of the tokens encoding the information. IE randomness is a source of information. Information has one precise definition and plenty of equivocating ones, Tour is equivocating. 1:20:45 "need specified information" is an equivocation between 'specific' and 'specified' which are not even close to being synonyms. IE he is using equivocation to hide a bald assertion that the pattern of information, properly called a message, could not spontaneously form. Chemical evolution is possible: from among the randomly occurring reactions if one has lower energy than others then physical law makes it persist. If it has any autocatalytic behavior it then becomes widespread. 1:23:00 back to "all or nothing", we can't create life de novo therefore nature cannot. Tour really does not understand basic logic, as in the math of sets. Later on in response to a question Tour does correct this, but when asked about how non-scientists understand his points denies that he has some responsibility for what they think. Tour most definitely knows what his religious audience thinks due to what he says and he knows that he is feeding their beliefs. His denying it here speaks poorly to his character. 1:38:30 audience member asks about my point that Tour is adding unnecessary requirements to his list of what is needed for life to form. :) Tour's answer includes the ID fallacy of 'prescribed information', a presumption that there can be only one system of life. :( 1:49:35 Tour agrees that there might be unknown biochemistry, but we presently do not know of any (on the particular topic) and that lack of knowledge makes us clueless. What is missing is it is the rate that is in question, not the ultimate input and output of the reaction since those reactions do occur in the present. A low probability computed as such by our limited knowledge of chemistry is not a valid argument for "can't happen". Summary: Prof. Dave has shown that Tour equivocates and exaggerates to make a point that will be misinterpreted by his main audience of creationists, and he knows it.

  1401. I'm watching ur complete maths series I will get back to this soon 😍
    10
  1402. I feel secondhand burns when you shit talk homeschoolers with their food coloring science kits and Bible colleges. But because of people like you, I’m not an idiot any more!
    10
  1403. Thanks! Yes, please help me with philosophy.
    10
  1404. Hi Professor Dave, I wanted you to know I never attended a single chemistry lecture this semester, opting to watch your videos instead. I just took my final yesterday and ended with an A in the class. Thank you so much!!
    10
  1405. This is some really good stuff. I find the more I learn from your lectures, the better I am able to critically analyze the constant barrage of information, and I use that term loosely, being put out.
    10
  1406. Thank you for all the videos. I got through Organic Chemistry with your help. I appreciate how they are succinct and concise. I ended up changing my major from biology to chemistry after completing Organic chemistry.
    10
  1407. Your page is great!!
    10
  1408. What would I do without these videos?!!!! Thank you so much.
    10
  1409. You made it so easy for me to learn calculas Thanks !

  1410. He is so much better than my Algebra teacher! Thanks for this lesson 🙂
    10
  1411. My Sir explained this topic many times but I couldn't relate, when prof. explained understood very clearly ...Thanks...
    10
  1412. Yes - it is a fun thought and a decent analogy - just makes me laugh a little more with the misunderstandings flerfs have of basics - oh and I tend to be a bit too pedantic for my own good. But  @ProfessorDaveExplains , I am thoroughly enjoying you content - I think Blue Marble Science put you on my Radar. Can't wait to dive into you math and physics videos next.
    10
  1413. Just finished watching the debate and wow does James really know how to act like a baby, with him yelling over legitimately every single point you bring up, it's like watching a toddler have a meltdown. Very weird how people actually thought James even got one own on Dave. Every single time he wrote clueless on the board it actually made me die a little on the inside, you show him the paper right in his face, like an idiot, he completely ignores it and then complains about it more. The part about the self replicating RNA and him just blatantly disregarding it and then asking the same question again is just astounding to me. Complete idiocy when it comes to James.
    10
  1414. Danke!
    10
  1415. You saved my collegiate career. God bless you.
    10
  1416. I just started watching your tutorial and it gives me joy...... I wish your educational channel will be well known......

  1420. I appreciate everything you do, Professor Dave, be it teaching or debunking
    10
  1421. Yes!! Thank you so much! I started following you because of your flat-earth-busting videos, but now I'm extra excited, because I have Exam 3 tomorrow for O-Chem!
    10
  1422. I thank you from the bottom of my heart
    10
  1423. I'm so happy i got them all right !! Your lessons are really helpful! I'm learning italian because i love learning languages and i love italian food, italian music, the culture, everything! And my mum promised me we're going to italy if i learn almost fluent italian and i think im going in the right direction! I learnt english and spanish pretty easily so i hope the Italian will work out for me as well (I'm 15 years old and from Sweden btw)

  1424. Hey Prof Dave, Have you ever considered a series about where we got the Bible? Who wrote it, when, why, who the audience was for each book, etc? Useful Charts did a really good series on the topic but I'd love to see you present the scholarly academic consensus on this question , if such a topic is something you'd like to explore. I think the first step to setting aside dogmas is to demystify the Bible and remind folks it's just a collection of texts written at different times for different reasons. It's not some magic book gifted from the heavens. Learning where it actually came from can help put the mystery to bed. Either way, thanks for your work. Take care!
    10
  1425. I rarely leave comments - but I gotta say you did a great job with this series.

  1429. Hey Professor Dave I just want to tell you that I think what youre doing is great and youre a great inspiration to myself and undoubtedly many others. Thank you for doing what you do!
    10
  1430. I know these specific videos are not very profitable when it comes to views, but they help some students a lot!
    10
  1431. Dave, you continue to surprise me when it comes to your research and way of delivering content to us, that's why I've been a long-time viewer of yours. As a psychologyst myself, just wanted to point out one little thing that might concern the content you've so magestfully brought us today. The Electra Complex is NOT a Freudian idea nor is it mentioned in any freudian text; it is a junguian ideia. What we will find, whowever, is Freud referring to the girl's side of the Oedipux Complex as the Feminine Oedipus. (I'm not quite sure how it is named in English, I've read Freud in portuguese for my whole life since I'm brazilian.) That said, there's only one thing that has not been explained in this video and I think is essencial for discussing Freud's ideias. That being the word "sexual" in his theory. That word has a whole different meaning when we're looking through psychoanalysis lens. Sexual and sexuality are two different concepts. Sexual means: "everything that can bring you pleasure", sexuality is, more preciseley, the stages and every thought that happens in each and every stage. That's why we call it the "psychosexual theory". This is largely covered in his book "Three Essays on the Therory of Sexuality" (1905). That's why it can sound a little outstanding to the average viewer knowing that the child "discovers" masturbation. That concept is intrinsic to the sexual concept. That's a way to create tension and then remove said tension. Another little thing is that the phallic stage is not centered in the genitals; it is, however, centered in the genital AREA. This stage is called "phallic" stage due to the concept of the "phallus" far too complex to fit in a Youtube comment. The genital stage is, of course, centered around the genitals. About the "heteronormative" affirmation towards the end, you're correct. Though Freud explained that as his concept of "inversion" and it is NOT a sexual aberration. The way he goes about it is saying that everything regarding sex that's not going to reproduce the species is a "perversion". Knowing that, we can confidently say that oral sex, for exemple, is a form of perversion. Of course we'd need to discuss perversion as whole, but for now, that's just a little bit of extra information. These are some of Freud's texts that can help us understand a little bit more about what I said. Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905); Remembering, Repeating and Working-Through (1914); On Narcissism: An Introduction (1914); Instincs and their vicissitudes (1915); The Dissolution of the Oedipus Complex (1924); Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate your work and everything you bring to the table. You're amazing. <3 Sorry about the lengthy comment.

  1432. I would love to show your anatomy and internal systems videos for my Yoga Teacher Training! You do such a great job explaining and breaking down all the systems. Would that be ok with you? Thanks for your time either way and love the videos!

  1435. I am happy to see some quite extensive video of my babies here :) I have done my PhD thesis on these animals and I see that several illustrations from my papers are used in your video (which is cool !). Indeed these animals are still full of mystery ! Although they have been found in the Pyrenees this summer and some environmental DNA suggests they are found in the Danube as well ! I'm going to have a look to your other videos for sure :D Thanks for spreading the love of Micrognathozoa ;)

  1437. Thanks!
    10
  1438. Anyone else here notice a (sporadic) trend of pro-theists spamming the comment sections of athiest-friendly content (such as this video) on YouTube, in which the spammers extoll the virtues of the likes of Gunter, etc. as courageous heroes of intellectual honesty fighting back against the propagandists (Prof Dave being specifically named!) of godless "evolutionarianism" & secular humanism? To me, this carries a scent of desperation: the "Intelligent Design" crowd knows that their opposition is both numerous & formidable, & that their true strategy (reverse the overall human trend of moving away from religion in favor of secularism) isn't working out so well....
    10
  1439. You should have come up with a better lie than one that can be verified in 30 seconds, dipshit. Also, this is what GPT has to say about Tour, if asked the right question: "The origin of life is a complex and multidisciplinary field of study that seeks to understand how life first emerged on Earth from non-living matter. It involves aspects of chemistry, biology, geology, and astrobiology. Scientists who specialize in this field typically have a deep understanding of biochemistry, prebiotic chemistry, evolutionary biology, and related disciplines. While James Tour may have a foundational knowledge of chemistry and related sciences that are relevant to the study of life's origins, it's essential to recognize that his primary research and expertise lie in other areas of chemistry and nanotechnology. The study of the origin of life often requires specialized training and extensive research specifically in that field." Ooopsie. Looks like even ChatGPT knows Tour is clueless about OoL.

  1440. So sorry you weren't on this panel, dude! You would have been the strongest voice of reason and common sense. That's why you were excluded, perhaps. Keep fighting for truth and goodness! 🌞

  1442.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  i am aware of that, i watched the whole playlist at least twice, it's honestly just so unbelievable how he ruined his reputation over this. I shouldn't have used the word respect to be honest, so... my bad.

  1443. Thanks!

  1456. Excellent lesson Prof Dave!!

  1457. Congratz Dave! I do have 2 quick comments! First, I think one channel that should have gone into your top 10 was definitely Formscapes. That video is very much exceptional work and I think it perfectly highlights what pseudo-intellectuals really are; apologists and frauds. "Science isn't dogma, you're just stupid." is one for the books! Second, "Mr. Farina!" is going to make the science history books. I still talk with a few of my high school teachers, one who is a Chemistry teacher. I learned that she now has classroom memes on posters about James Tour, one such including the "ZERO!" meme. I asked her if she ever tells her students who James is, and she replied "No, most of them are already aware." Keep in mind, this is in Canada, so this has spread far! Half the world knows who James is now, and the infamy he will live with for the rest of his life will haunt him. Remember when you said in the 4th part of your 2nd series that you wanted all his followers to know what a fraud he is too? Well, his viewership went from a solid 150-200k per video to a whopping 15k avg. Looking at the comments of any video of his are all just ultra-devoted Christians. I think it is safe to say that James is dead, and you murdered him.

  1464. I was a student at Evergreen living in the dorms at this time! Thanks for bringing light to these assholes. There were people disrupting some of his classes but the DOA conversation was just the beginning of the conversation about how Black and POC students were being treated on campus. The catalyst for the protests were actually due to an altercation between two students in a dorm. The black student was detained over night without being able to communicate with their parents or friends, and the other student was allowed to just leave the situation. The protest had people chanting but was peaceful and had clear demands for the administration to integrate a council of students and faculty that could handle race related issues. It’s truly wild that Bret was able to spin this event into a career and get funding for his lame podcast in the process. Can’t wait for the Coen Bro’s movie about these clowns.
    9
  1465.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  thanks prof! I teach English at a University in SEA and play your videos in class all the time to get my kids motivated to learn and think critically, even though the subject matter is completely irrelevant. Your channel is truly a gem.
    9
  1466. Thanks for this. I was subbed to these guys just out of curiosity/some of what they had to say seemed plausible and thought experiments can be fun. I unsubbed and subscribed to you instead. What you said about learning real science instead of dismissing it spoke to me. It’s ok to delve into strange places every now and then, but to take everything antiestablishment as “real” would be as hypocritical as taking everything “mainstream” as gospel. Plus I like receipts so đŸ‘đŸ»

  1467. 1:46:00 - Hey Dave, I really appreciate it! When I saw my face pop up in one of your videos I was taken back. Thank God I didn't spell liar wrong like the other guy. I would like to clarify that when I say "I don't fully embrace abiogenesis" I mean that I don't know if it was the means for life starting on this planet. I don't doubt any of the science, and I find it all very interesting. One thing you've taught me is that scientists are not lying to deny God's existence. They are simply observing the natural world. If God created the world, there should be no contradiction. If a Christian apologist has to lie to make his point, he goes against the very philosophy he's trying to promote. I'm a lay person, I don't understand the science, but I really appreciate the effort you've put into making videos to help lay people grasp complex subjects. At the very least you've helped me to spot deception in all forms of content, not just religion and science. I sent you an email a few weeks back, but I'll ask here since I have your attention. A video going over the claims of Hugh Ross on the subject of evolution would be greatly appreciated. You haven't tackled old earth creationism as far as I'm aware. Hugh Ross seems like a good starting point if that's your cup of tea. Thank you for doing what you're doing. Know that I'm praying for you.

  1468.  @ProfessorDaveExplains interesting. Also thanks for helping me pass orgo and immunology

  1469. I'm sorry that I can't be a patron at the moment Dave, but thank you for what you do. While I think it's unnecessarily absurd to have to debunk the things that are stated in this video, it does help the majority of those who might not know better and allows them to "do their own research". I will soon be a patreon, and please continue what you are doing. I just hope someday that this will be a thing of the past and we can all move on to things real and far better. Take care and I will continue to watch with fervor. ;)

  1476. This guy is genuinely better than organic chemistry tutor. Things are always so clear and straight to the point.

  1477. Can't wait for part two! I have learned so much from your videos, Dave. And would like you to know that your expertise in these many fields has enabled me to actually get my mom to see her creationist mindset from a different perspective. Your coverage of the many MANY theists who attempt to spread God like an undetected virus, has wisened her up, and she now no longer accepts the Bible as fact and stopped trying to enforce religious beliefs upon me and my daughter. Your dedication to science and understanding has enabled my family to be whole once again, and for that I am eternally grateful. Keep doing God's work (pun intended 😉)

  1480. All of the people saying she “fell into this” or that she’s “drifting in to right wing grifting” need to stop. This isn’t some sort of thing that is happening to her. She is CHOOSING to move into the anti-science bullshit. Don’t remove her agency and don’t give her a pass. She’s a grifting fuckface and what she is doing is bad for the species, and she KNOWS it. But she has zero integrity so she’s willing to engage in this duplicitous fuckery. Her whole “science is just about chasing grant money!” is pure projection and an example of “every right-wing accusation is a confession”. She should be judged accordingly.

  1481. Thanks! Keep up the good work, your series on chemistry really saved my ass when I was learning about stoichiometry.

  1483. I watch yours instead of my professor. Thank you so much professor Dave.

  1484. I'm beginning to notice something that James Tour has in common with flerfs. I was once watching a livestream where FTFE Craig was debating on a flerf Discord server when someone in the audience piped up and said that they will not believe gravity exists until Craig can name every single asteroid in the asteroid belt. Likewise Tour insists that as no one has managed to create a living cell from scratch, all of Origin of Life must be wrong. Science deniers have a thing for staking out on a towering, pointless hill and, when no one deigns to fufill their nearly impossible demands, sweepingly denounce all their opponent's points and act smug. And of course if you do fufill it, they simply act like you've said nothing and go find another hill, as ultimately irrelevant as the last, to die on.

  1485. This was great (just like your other videos). I just ordered your book and can not wait to read it! Hurry up March 30th.

  1488.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  according to the wisdom of chopra "Nature constructs unparalleled mortality”. And "Your movement compliments subjective observations" Sounds legit to me. Thanks for what you do Dude.

  1489. "Go see a Star War" I love how one small omission of an "s" instantly signals to everyone that the person who omitted it has watched at least a moment of an Arrested Development episode lol. And they say the monoculture of our youth is dead :P

  1494. Love the videos of you disproving flat earthers and other insane theories but I love even more how you stick to your roots and still provide high quality videos for students studying various subjects regardless if those videos don’t get as many views.
    9
  1495. Wonderful presentation. Super concise and definitely worth the small amount of time.
    9
  1496. This is the best explanation of the subjuctive mood that I have ever heard. I usually run away from it, but now that it makes more sense to me, I just want to find exercises to practice! Thank you! đŸ˜ŠđŸ‘đŸŸ

  1497. Dave, it is absolutely perfect delivery! You deserved the subscription!

  1498. Hypothesis: If people want to feel as if they are powerful, but are either incapable to, or are given the impression they are not, Then they will find it necessary to create a situation in which they are the most important people in the world. It's a common trend among extremists in conspiracy groups, such as Qanon, and Antivaxxers, where people need to satisfy some superiority complex, or victimize themselves to create the illusion of righteousness. Ultimately, a toxic behavior that only succeeds in breeding extremism.
    9
  1499. Dave, I've been watching your videos throughout my orgo class (they are amazingly helpful btw) and I just learned about your flat earth and young earth creationism debates. They make excellent study breaks. Thanks for not only having great study videos, but also fighting the good fight against people who don't understand science. Keep up the good work man!

just really well done.

  1503. I for many many years thought I was smarter than most, listening to the wrong (at the time, I thought they were right) people sprout their ideology and I lapped it up. I even went as far to persuade others to follow my Immature and Anti establishment ways. BUT, I am one of the lucky one's who actually opened my mind and started to listen to those that DO know about what they are talking about. Thank you Prof Dave for making me realize the errors in my foolish thoughts, and to let you know that I have opened my eyes to the ways of "Real Science". (I was an 50% EU supporter until watching your debunking video, once again, Thank You Kindly..."Eyes open, Fear Prof Dave"

  1511. To Prof. Dave, I have been watching your videos my life since my early junior high to senior Highschool. I appreciate that your videos are always able to break down a complicated topic into simple pieces I can actually understand. From Physics, Chemistry, and now Biology. I am now in college studying for my pre-med. Thank you so much for being a good teacher for many students including myself!
    9
  1512. Thanks dave I used to belive this a while ago till someone shared me your channel thanks for addressing misinformation

  1514. Thanks professor. You have indeed solved all the problems I have been experiencing in organic nomenclature since I joined A level
    9
  1515. Congratulations Professor Dave!! You're an inspiration to all of us. I became a TA and look to teach at community college to hopefully reach people the same way you've helped your audience. I wish you the best for the future.
    9
  1516. I tell everyone about your channel, god bless you

  1529. Great video professor! Very concise! I have a test on urinary system tomorrow and this video will help me a lot!
    8
  1530. Professor Dave, you are the BEST! Seriously, you are such a gift to us all. It’s like you know just how to say things that the rest of us simply feel, on a deep level, but lack the words to express. That is the best kind of validation.
    8
  1531. I have no clue what this is about (i guess for a person to get the chance to get to space), but i believe you are one if the most informative educators on youtube (not only sharing fun facts making it seem like you teach something, but actually diving into the topics) I really hope they choose you ^^ you deserve it.
    8
  1532. Thank you so much for this video Professor Dave!!! You really helped me understand H-R Diagram in the simplest way as possible. I'm so thankful that I discovered you. I'm looking forward to watch your other videos especially the classes are now online because of the pandemic. I really need a study buddy to help me understand more the lesson. Again, thank you so much!! If I turn 18 years old and have a credit card, I'll make sure to join your channel. That's the best way to thank you for all the help. More vids and stay safe!!! xoxo

  1537. I think it's cute when morons like Trump & Biden try to compare themselves to JFK. In reality FDR & JFK are the only 2 Presidents to advocate for Universal Healthcare

  1538. You're just so good and thorough at exposing these funny quacks. Keep it up! I hope Tour's ego is big enough that he actually agrees for the debate. That would be the most entertaining thing ever

  1548. thats so funny, other than italian immigrants, your religious situation growing up is just like mine, even down to knowing your dad is an athiest and not really knowing whether your mom believes in god or not. Thx for all the vids man
    8
  1549. Have you noticed how many pseudo-scientific woo-woo ads there are on your videos? The internet, is not without a sense of humor (or at least irony) it seems. Also thank you for ALL of this you do fantastic work!

  1550. Thanks, I appreciate you prof. Dave

  1553. From simple additions/substations to calculus and more!, your mathematics section is really very diverse!
    8
  1554. I used to be Christian and I will just openly admit the reason I believed that religion was because I had emotional problems and I felt like I could replace my bad personality with a Christian personality and people would accept me. I thought I could join the church and get a girlfriend and make friends etc. I wish religious people would just admit that it's a social club and they don't actually believe this stuff

  1555. 57:45 if you ever need a guitarist from the Seattle area, I’m a little rusty from focusing on college, but I’d send stems any time😉😆 love your stuff, Dave. Happy 10th channel anniversary! Hella excited for differential equations!

  1558. Thank you Dave.. I have no idea about my mathematics exam.But this give excellent study material.

  1560.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  yes, just wanted to correct myself, some actually aren't trolling. I'm sorry really, the concept of people actually believing in flat earth is just so absurd I always thought they were joking, kinda like that ,,birds are fake" theory
    8
  1561. I don't know how you manage to teach in such a simple way, but nails the basic knowledge in detail, PERFECTLY. This must be a gift from the gods above. Seriously, Dave. You have been so gifted with this ability, and I love how you use it to teach science, among other fields, very effectively. Great job, Dave. Your videos are far too well made to be free. Once I get the ability, I'm 100% going to support your Patreon.
    8
  1562. I just want to say that your videos have helped me tremendously in my quest to learn everything science. Have an awesome day.

  1568. Thanks for doing those flat Earth videos. They're how I discovered your channel. I really appreciate the work you're doing on this platform. Extremely informative and I am learning quite a bit.
    8
  1569. I consider Tour to be engaging in straight-forward academic fraud. Tour's guest seems like one of those people who imagines themselves to be a world authority when they are in fact the exact opposite.
    8
  1570. Thank you Professor Dave for this great Italian series. I loved how you demonstrated the use of reciprocal verbs in the form of a story rather than separate sentences.

  1571. Wow, that segment on Mario was enlightening! Never thought of it that way. Accessibility. In this video you're like a scientific cross of Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand. Keep the content coming!

  1573. "He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him." -- C.G. Jung, on Hitler and the Shadow "The embrace, by working Americans, of policies that hurt their own interests can be understood on the basis of Ferenczi’s model of identification with the aggressor. Intrafamilial child abuse is often followed by the abuser’s denial. Children typically comply with abuse, in behavior and by embracing the abuser’s false reality, under threat of emotional abandonment. Similarly in the sociopolitical sphere, increasing threats of cultural and economic dispossession have pressed working Americans to adopt an ideology that misrepresents reality and justifies their oppression. In society as in the family, there can be a compensatory narcissistic reaction to forfeiting one’s rights that, ironically, encourages feelings of power and specialness while facilitating submission." (The traumatic basis for the resurgence of right-wing politics among working Americans) "Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

  1578. Unrelated to these clowns, but if I ever we ever run into each other in public, remind me that I owe you a drink. If I hadn't found you, it probably would have taken far longer to climb out of the hole of delusional nonsense my egotist of a father put me in.

  1580. Dude, I'm studying for my organic chemistry exam but I HAD to stop looking at it for a while. I saw you answered my comment on a previous video and I had no idea you were so involved with your music! (And games to a lesser degree.) I think you should broadcast this more. I understand how academic tutorials should not be littered with self promotions, but this is YOUR channel and you are doing US the favor of explaining this super complicated stuff to us. I know many more of us would support you if you asked. I'm sure you've thought of some of this though. I just wanted to voice my thoughts. Regardless, I am going to support you on patreon as soon as I am financially able. Gas is $4 a gallon where I am and my grocery bill has gone up almost 30%. We do not make that much money here in Alabama. Keep up the great work. You are doing a great job.

  1582. Another person with ties to this organization you might want to consider taking a look at for a debunking video is Christopher Rufo. The Republican activist who started the anti-CRT panic and has since pivoted to pushing the anti-trans panic. Well before that, he worked at the Discovery Institute, fighting against the teaching of evolution in science class. He's wrought untold havoc on our nation's youth by forcing his religious agenda on our schools.
    8
  1583. Thanks!
    8
  1584. Thanks, Professor Dave! Your science videos have been a great resource for my online classes during this pandemic. I really appreciate how much work you have put into them, and the check comprehension segments at the end of many of your make for great teaching opportunities in-class and online where I can incorporate them into a screencastify.

    8
  1587. Funny how Eric says that the JRE is where you go for real, open conversations about math, science, and other academic subjects, because they don't deal with plagiarism at Harvard. When, in fact, the President of Harvard was indeed ousted thanks to the efforts of his billionaire ally Bill Ackman -- ostensibly for plagiarism, but actually for giving the legally accurate but not politically correct response to a legal question from a congresswoman at a show hearing; Ackman then went on to allege "anti-Semitism" when journalists discovered that his wife's dissertation was littered with much more serious plagiarism, and tried to use his influence at the board of the news outlet's parent company to push the "anti-Semitism" angle, and for the story to be retracted. Now THAT is championing the principles of free inquiry, I tell you what! What would we do without steadfast defenders of open, honest debate like Eric Weinstein and Joe Rogan?

  1588. You be saving lives dude. He the only reason I passed O-Chem with B.

  1589.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I think Dawkins had that sexual assault allegation a couple of years ago and that experience has colored his view on anything "wokes" say. Classic example of feelings over facts. And even IF sex or gender were fixed and binary, nothing should stop people from treating other's with respect and dignity. All of this science "debate" is a cover for advancing bigotry.
    8
  1590. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain through a comprehensive course. Great presentation and visuals have really helped me understand!
    8
  1591. I always learn something from your content. Thank you.
    8
  1592. Thanks again, professor. Your explanations have yet to confuse me and I think the patterns are clicking now.
    8
  1593. I just bought your book on Amazon through the link. I'm looking forward to it. It's the first book I've bought in 2 years!
    8
  1594.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  alright Professor Dave, I watched the video here. And I concur now that Ben is an idiot. Thank you for the great explanation in the video. My understanding of his debunk, bad attitude of his aside, is that he is taking papers, not reading them, selecting certain pieces that fit with his narrative, and then rolls it all into a doomsday event for followers. So the fact that he had some bits in that scenario correct, wouldn't surprise me. Especially considering I found some of that same information he used which WAS truthful, but couldn't fully comprehend what the papers said. Again, hitting the nail on the head in YOUR video about his followers not being able to understand the papers. Not going to lie, he's very good at what he's doing. -_- Thank you again Professor Dave. Have a sub from me, and I look forward to more of your content. As I stated before, just trying to educate myself a little further everyday. And also thank YOU for being respectful and keeping a level head with my ignorance. :) If I missed anything else that he had wrong in that disaster is coming video, please feel free to share but I learned enough about his claims that I understand they're batpoop insane. I'd still like to learn more about these things though too......*shrugs
    8
  1595. You seriously CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR YT CHANEL. OMFG, SUCH A GOOD, "FRIENDLY" (easy to understand) AND YET ACADEMICLY SUFFICIENT CONTENT, WOW! Im an instant new sub, keep up the excelent work!

  1597. Hey Dave, I'm going to learn what I can, but I'm mostly here to give you watch time because you deserve it for what you do! Simulated Sun!!!
    8
  1598. I just wanted to thank you for making these wonderful videos! I wish, more people would watch them and maybe then stop thinking about stuff like pseudo-science and start asking the right questions and most importantly look for answers in the right places. I am shocked at the loss of trust in science itself all around the world

  1600. Thank you so much for these videos! I started studying italian on my own about a month ago. There are no italian courses where I live so the only material I had was a book (what a bumer). Your videos surely help me to understand everything so much better. Thank you again!!! Greetings from Spain

  1602. Professor Dave you really save my life!
    8
  1603. Thanks a lot for these videos, hands down the best explanations of all things science on YouTube. This video helped me a lot with my project on receptor related diseases (Grave's disease, hypercholesterolemia and the role of serotonin receptor malfunction in depression). Truly a lifesaver!
    8
  1604. Thank you for all your tutorials! From Chemistry to Bio they all have the exact content that I need.
    8
  1605. I really and truly love all your work Dave. It’s awesome and straight forward and easy to digest. You’ve helped me mold myself into a well thought out source of logic and reason against the sheer idiocy out there. I am grateful.
    8
  1606. Thanks!bring him over here!

  1607. None other than you can teach like this😊.. you're amazing and unique 👌don't know how many times i passed the exam by watching your videosđŸ€đŸ€
    8
  1608. omg, i was confused on these when i do my previewing of my lecture notes just now. lucky to watch your video before lecture!
    8
  1609. The maliciousness of some of these clips 'dunking' on other scientists without receipts... Not only is it an informational red flag... It just seems counter to what they project as values. JT's viewers accept this behavior?
    8
  1610. this is the way to understand concepts. thanku
    8
  1611. Why did this one video make more sense than the two weeks we spent on this topic in my AP Calc class?? You might've just saved my test grade tomorrow.
    8
  1612. As someone with ADHD, learning from your channel is extremely easy. The way you organize the flow of information is perfect, and you make the video super engaging. My first college chemistry teacher was head of chemistry department at the school and he taught in a very similar way too you. I appreciate your work and effort very much. Also purely from the POV of a student, the way you explain material in smaller simpler ideas/terms is extremely helpful
    8
  1613. U teach every subject and topic with so much passion and dedication. ....it indeed seems that you are not a teacher but indeed an institution 👍 👍 👍 👍
    8
  1614. Best video for understanding the concept
    8
  1615.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  You could consider writing a dissertation and cold open with "Hello, my name is Dave Farina." I hear that boosts credibility among the ignorant.
    8
  1616. When the title of the debate was “are we clueless on the origin of life”, as long as papers were presented that show people do have ideas about the origin of life, that’s a default loss for Tour. Whether or not you thought someone was unprofessional is irrelevant. Dave Farina showed papers that show James Tour is wrong. Tour is a known and demonstrated liar. Anything he says outside of the field of synthetic chemistry should be taken with some serious doubt.
    8
  1617. Sabine herself and those who agree with her donÂŽt seem to address DaveÂŽs point: The responsibility of good communication when you have a large platform. Fans of Sabine says sheÂŽs right to criticize academia, but thatÂŽs not what Dave argues. Her status and the way she presents her view gives legitimacy to anti-science sentiments! In her now deleted comment, she reaffirms that DaveÂŽs good faith interpretation of her is wrong: She absolutely means what she says in the way she says it. A reformation of academia is not what she argues for: She believes physics is rotten to the core, and the way she communicates with people she disagrees with is dismissive and arrogant, going so far as to dismiss their research out of hand, believing she knows best. There is sure to be many who has a terrible time in academia. Saying "science is dying" to your 1,5 million subscribers is not helping the issue!

  1618. Thanks a lot Dave! I just wanted to add one more expression/phrase that is useful:" Spero che tu/lui/lei mi capisca"= I hope that you/he/she understand {s}me. The verb Capire can be very useful in sentences involving subjunctive; like when the teacher asks his/her students: I hope that you understand the lesson. ""Spero che voi capiate la lezione". Subjunctive mood Present che io capisca che tu capisca che lui, che lei capisca che noi capiamo che voi capiate che loro capiscano

  1621. SAFIRE donors/investors' script of the week: 1. Dave is mean / Dave is arrogant / Dave has attitude problems / Muh aD hOmiNeMs! 2. Electrical engineers are better astrophysicists than astrophysicists. Especially if that electrical engineer has a PhD, or has been one for decades. 3. Plasma and plasma physics support the EU/SAFIRE concepts. I don't care if the plasma physicist who worked on SAFIRE called it a fraud, because I didn't watch the video anyway.

  1623. About a month ago, this video was the final nail in the coffin for my worldview as a young-earth creationist. I just needed a few final points to make sense, and it all came together.

  1624. "These people are largely irrelevant" reading that 3 days after the United States overwhelmingly ushered Trump back into office hits really fucking hard. The nuance these people are scrubbing by pretending you're simply trying shut down any and all criticism of academia is profound. It's time we wake the fuck up and realize there's nothing irrelevant or insubstantial about these science denying lunatics as one is about to become the most powerful person in the world, and rhetoric like you mention has directly contributed to that. Thank you for your vigilance as always, professor Dave.

  1625. i agree 100% i watch all your content. the only reason i don’t like when you get on their level is i feel like they do it because they don’t have an argument and attacking you is all they have. when you hit back it always feels like you’re coming down to their level despite the superior argument you level. i get it, they’re throwing barbs and you chuck them back i don’t have to like it
 you keep right on slaying these paper dragons. i’ll be right here enjoying every second âœŠđŸŸ

  1626. Cool! How nice to share the word of real science to others with other languages. I got your book Is This Wi-Fi Organic? It's a great book that should be taught in high schools across America as a general science course! Thanks, and keep up the good work.

  1627.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Furthermore, my title as a scientist is "Geologist", but in practice my PD is more diverse. I work within various subdiscplines that aren't strictly geological. I even often fall under the umbrella of biogeochemistry which, as you might guess, reduces the gap between an evolutionary biologist and geologist (not entirely, of course). Many colleagues use their background in geology to inform their research on how microorganisms (extremophiles) adapt to harsh environments (such as thermal conditions at active vents). This is just one example of how these discplines can overlap. I get the ethos of your video, and why you may have dismissed a background in geology in this context - I'm simply trying to provide some nuance to that position because I think it is valuable to recognize the collaborative nature of science.

  1628. Thank you, this was very helpful! I always wondered if the double consonants had some sort of different pronunciation or if italian just had alternate spellings like english. This really cleared things up; you are a good, lucid teacher. Grazie!

  1629. Many moons ago (around 2002) I was studying Linear Algebra (Physics, at University). One of the reasons I left it was because I couldn't understand it at all. I saw your video, took a pencil, and I have understood it all. Thank you Professor Dave!

  1632. Interested in a debate against me? "A debate" of course meaning 20 debates as any dignified scholar would know. It will happen over the span of 3 months from Octobuary 45th to Junember 0.5th in Berlin, France at Hustlers University. I will, of course, cover all expanses (15.64$). Do you accept McDonald's Vouchers and food stamps?

  1633. Thanks for exposing anti-scientific and anti-reality claims!

  1634. Looking forward to the debate, I happen to be in Texas, so if my finals aren't too bad, I'll definitely attend. Keep exposing these blatant science deniers Dave!

  1635. "He is a Marxist, an Atheist and an Evolutionist." The US far right is the result of decades of systematic Cold War Red Scare (tm), fundamentalist indoctrination and an education system that is a disgrace to any western democracy if you are not wealthy enough to afford extremely expansive high quality alternatives.

  1636. Reiner Protsch: Fraud and plagiarist. Detected, investigated and exposed by scientists. Piltdown Man: Deliberate hoax. "Found" in 1912. Identified as a possible hoax by 1913. Confirmed to be a hoax in 1953. Detected, investigated and exposed by scientists. Fooled some scientists for forty years. Has now been fooling creationists for seventy. Nebraska Man: A mistake rather than a hoax. However, Lucid showing a picture of a tusk at 34:42 is a definite hoax, intended to make the mistake seem ridiculous. The actual tooth is a molar, and quite similar to primate teeth. Discovered in 1917, mistakenly identified as anthropoid in 1922, questioned and disputed from the beginning, and retracted in 1927. The illustration was produced by the mass media, not by scientists, who derided it as a fantasy. Detected, investigated and exposed by scientists, within five years. Fooling creationists for almost a century now. We really should do something special for the centennial of its retraction. Cardiff Giant: Deliberate hoax, immediately recognised as such by scientists. Only claimed as real by hucksters and preachers (is there a difference?). He's right that it was shown in multiple "museums"... simultaneously, which is a neat trick. Unable to procure the original, PT Barnum had a copy made and claimed that his fake fake was the real deal, and that the real fake was the fake. The ensuing lawsuit is when the whole truth came out. Both are still shown in museums, as examples of 19th century frauds. Nothing to do with evolution, except that it served its intended purpose of displaying the credulity and flawed thinking of those who oppose it. Peking Man: Not a fraud. He speaks as if it was a single specimen, that was deliberately and suspiciously disposed of, implying some kind of coverup. What he's actually talking about is the loss of the original specimens, at least forty individuals, in 1941. See "Second Sino-Japanese War", or "World War II, Pacific Theatre" for a small clue on why things going missing in China during this period should not be considered suspicious. We still have copious evidence of the original specimens, including cast replicas, and more recently discovered specimens. Nobody doubts /Homo erectus pekinensis/. Scientists identified Protsch, Piltdown, Nebraska, and Cardiff as not being legitimate. Creationists ... didn't. And then they latched onto every example of science correcting itself as "proof" that science is wrong. And fell for the hoax that was made for the sole point of showing how gullible they are. And misidentified /Homo erectus pekinensis/ as a single fraud. By my count, the score is four to negative one. And pay attention to the dates. He only managed to find one example in the past seventy years, and had to stretch to find more than three in the last century and a half. Surely if the field is as riddled with error and fraud as creationists like to pretend, he would have many modern examples.

  1639. A great video but you did get one thing not quite right. The 8 inches per mile squared itself is accurate enough over distances up to 100 miles. It is true that it has been misquoted for great distances but there is a bigger problem. Often observer height is not taken into account. More often, refraction is not accounted for. There are days when you can see much further due to freakish weather. These are cherry picked to argue that we can see too far therefore the Earth is flat. For example, my video about seeing the Isle of Man from near Blackpool, flat earthers claim victory but refuse to notice that an enormous amount of the Isle is obscured by the curve.

  1640. The idea that this novel coronavirus was "manufactured" as a "bioweapon" is conspiratorial, because of the elements of paranoid intentionality it implies. But the idea that an experimental coronavirus escaped from one of the two virology institutes in Wuhan is quite viable, despite the Nature article that was rushed out to assure the world otherwise. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was, in fact, conducting gain-of-function research in which they used coronaviruses found in bats, passing them through hundred of generations using various tissue hosts in the lab. This was done both with found viruses and altered versions of those natural bat coronaviruses-- there are discussions you can find among serious evolutionary biologists and virologists concerning the furin cleavage sites and the "spike protein" that makes this particular novel coronavirus so transmissible and deadly. The sudden explosion of this virus into a worldwide pandemic did not follow the same epidemiological pattern that is seen in natural (as in non-human-meddled-with) animal viruses making the transition to humans-- rather, it was precisely what you would have expected from a virus that had emerged from a lab experimenting with making viruses more deadly and transmissible. But the public discourse about the virus in the United States was distorted enormously by our former president's embrace of the "manufactured bioweapon" conspiracy theory, and the fallacy of false dichotomy led a great many people to insist that the pathogen could not be man-made (out of other coronaviruses and genetic material from yet other viruses). Denying the conspiracy theory does not, in fact, mean the virus must have jumped naturally from bats to humans, but it became impossible to discuss without being accused of believing the unsupported conspiracy of the "deliberately manufactured bioweapon". The findings of the WHO "investigation" are seriously flawed, and it can be very frustrating to explain specific reasons their findings in this particular case should not be taken as scientifically impartial and find yourself accused of doubting the WHO in general or science in general! Someone with a great deal to lose or gain from any particular answer to a question should not be entrusted with investigating that question, and the man allowed to "investigate" the origins of the novel coronavirus was the head of the same company that paid for, and arranged United States funding for, gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology: Dr. Peter Strozak of Eco-Health Alliance. I followed the details that were made public as closely as I could, and the "investigation" seems to have done very little other than take the word of the Chinese government-- which was very definitely the answer that was wanted, in this case, to "clear" the institute and its research programme of any possible hand in the history of the virus. I advise you to look into the history of gain-of-function research, which was banned after an outbreak following the escape of a less devastating pathogen from a lab in the Soviet Union, but recently renewed despite the known dangers for scientific ends I do not believe warrant the funding of such research.

  1641.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  After reconsidering my initial comment, I regretfully admit I was in the wrong. I took my own presupposition and projected it onto your argument against a scientific model of astrology. Probably because I'm tired of hearing new age nonsense about horoscopes and shifting blame of personal shortcomings onto where the moon is. Apologies for the ill thought out espousal of my personal doctrine, as this was not relevant to the video. ✌

  1642. Thanks so much for your all flat earth debunk😂. People deserve to see the truth before seeing his video that can hurt/brainwash. He his like a cancer cell in our society and we need to be the good oneđŸ€·â€â™‚ïžđŸ‘đŸ‘đŸ‘

  1649. Good work as always, Hey professor Dave, I was just wondering if you had a take on a chemist- Andy Stapleton. I recently got into an argument with a creationist about the age of the planet (I was using the age comparison as an argument to dismantle the idea of the biblical Genesis) who sites some of his content on YouTube as proof that science is a sham and a lie bought by the biggest bidders of "acedamia". His argument being that scientists just lie about the age of the planet Edit; https://youtu.be/sgAlFPMugWw?feature=shared This is the video he cites from Andy that disproves all scientific fact as potential unknowable claimed lies (PS the creationist also told me gravity is unproven)

  1651. Thank you for your educational content. I dropped out of school in 10th grade to pursue a life of drugs and delinquency. Im now 29, spending the last 4 years re-educating myself on subjects I never even learned. Some of this wouldnt be possible for people like me without wonderful people like yourself making this content.

    7
  1653. Thanks Dave! I love the hilarious way you take down idiots. I see it not only as a problem of stupidity but also a failure of epistemology. The flat earthers (and other idiots) don’t understand that the scientific method is NOT just another belief system. Once their brains fall out because of their “open minds,” then the flood gates open to all kinds of stupid beliefs. A website on the matter of the epistemic superiority of science put it beautifully: 'This theme [all beliefs about the world are equal] places the individual’s unwarranted belief (e.g., in complementary and alternative medicine, their own traditions) or alternate viewpoints on equal footing with scientific evidence in guiding a vaccination decision." (I believe it is a superior way of understanding the world, and no I do not believe in "scientism." There are other ways of knowing, like the fact that Jimmy Page is a better guitarist than Clapton.) If you've read this far: Sorry for the essay. I understand that most of the people watching YouTube probably don't care about my hot takes in the comment sections 😂

  1656. Professor Dave, I attended the debate in Houston (I live here) in May of 2023 and you signed my copy of your book which I keep on a special shelf in my house. I found your channel around 2021 because of your Flat Earth Debunks and got hooked after the James Tour series. Congrats on your 10 years, looking forward to the next 10, & thanks for being awesome!

  1661. I originally found and followed your channel because of your debunking videos but I find myself staying because of videos like these.
    7
  1662. This is a massively underrated channel. I'm glad I stumbled upon that globebuster's response video because I've found yet another excellent science channel to go onto my list of educational channels that I can't wait until my nieces and nephews are old enough to understand. I hope this kickstarts the same love of science that I have. Thank you for making this content for the betterment of the general population, at least those of us with a brain. I can't speak for those flat earthers you demolished.

  1671. Two things, Dave... First, where were all these morons complaining about the Polio vaccine and others we had to take to even be allowed to enroll in school? I have that little round scar on my shoulder from it. I don't recall any of these idiots complaining back then! Second: Not all heroes wear capes. Some have beards. Well done you, man. Thank you.
    7
  1672. this was so helpful. thank you for actually explaining what it is. I was trying to watch the o chem tutor and he was just doin problems like I already had all of this background knowledge about what happens and why. thank you!
    7
  1673. Wow the flat earth had me going for a while ..thanks for your video it made so much sense..you rock dude!!!
    7
  1674. Thanks, Dave! In school I remember all they told us was the formula itself and that if we plug in the numbers and do the arithmetic right we'll get the answer. But until seeing this video I had never actually seen an explanation of what the formula actually is or the logic behind it! Teaching the actual subject, what a novel idea!

    7
  1684. As an actual anthropologist I appreciate that you brutally mock these folks both in videos and comments. These folks all need to be told to piss off completely. It seriously pisses me off when morons without an ounce of knowledge just spew shit. They literally have no fucking clue what a person does every single day in an actual scientific discipline. Somehow a few memes gives them more knowledge than all the paleoanthropology, genetics, physical/biological anthropology and physical geology (I'm interdisciplinary) that I've studied and taught. But in their world your status is elevated when you talk the loudest while knowing the absolute least. It's also interesting that I never hear them talk about Alfred Russel Wallace who also developed the idea of evolution simultaneously as did Darwin. But they just don't care to know what they talk about. I'm willing to bet I know more about their bible than they do.

  1689. Thanks

  1690.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Thank you for your quick and prompt reply. I didn’t expect an answer so quickly nor from the actual channel owner. So many creators I find are just simply too distracted by the influx of comments to reply to everyone or sometimes even at all. I will be sure to book an appointment as soon as my schedule allows. I found your channel yesterday while finding things to listen to at work and your playlist on debunking/challenging conspiracy theories and the like have been most entertaining. So, again, thank you for not only the advice but additionally the entertainment value.

  1700. Honestly a big shout out to Professor Dave who takes time out of his day to reply to new comments on his videos. I see him doing it every time I check his videos and is part of what makes me such a fan of the channel.
    7
  1701. Dave, thanks for helping me get a 5 in AP Chemistry in 2020. I've been watching your videos ever since. Great content!
    7
  1702. It's so funny, because this video sounds like some lame advertisement, but he is by no means kidding. This man is actually flawless when it comes to always getting right to the point and being as clear as possible. After I graduate, I'm donating to him first before I donate to khanacademy or OCT
    7
  1703. Thanks! Your expertise and content are amazing. However I am not sure personal attacks against Mr. Tour are the best approach to countering him. My assessment of him is that he is a sincere believer and has no awareness of his own hypocrisy and inconsistency. That is what belief does. It blinds people to their own mental errors. Unfortunately I don’t have a solution. I hope you will reflect on this and maybe even do a video about how best to counter his narrative without the personal attacks. 😅
    7
  1704. Danke!

  1712. I know many people say this, but by far, you are the best organic chem professor/teacher i have ever come across. It's crazy how many hours we spend in class to learn something, when this man teaches it in under 20 minutes. It blows my mind, truly. Thank you, sir.
    7
  1713. I don't normally respond to videos I watch just for the sheer value those responses represent. It degrades and and absorbs ones individuality behind a wall of popular congregation. Your video was well informed and produced and it makes me happy that someone will stand up for well documented science and 2000 years of cumulative knowledge. It only depresses me further that people are in fact - quite ignorant and greed factors in like the claw of any well suited beast. I'm disturbed by the accrued numbers of hairless monkeys that subscribe to these ideas and further abhorred by the false content it will portend. Thank you for representing the rest of intelligent life and debunking these ridiculous theories in light and pursuit of an actual truth.. that this world is a living and non-loving mechanism driven to produce such disgusting progeny. Science lives.
    7
  1714. Thanks for all the debunks
    7
  1715. Actually I can understand why flat earthers are usually angry people. Just imagine their rage at being bombarded hour after hour, day after day by all these billion-dollar projects like Elon Musk's Space X - accompanied by tons of hyper-realistic videos, and videos from all these professors and physicists and astronomers and engineers with beautifully elegant mathematical constructs while their minds cannot even conceive of a single mathematical formula except their three flat earth equations (Flat Earth Because My Eyes, Round Earth Because Billionaire Illuminati, and You Explain, I Cannot Because <<< G O D >>>>) and being forced to use satellites for their internet in order for them to talk about not believing in satellites, and their UTTER BEWILDERMENT at seeing all these hundreds of thousands of brilliant college students, scientists, engineers, pilots, geologists, physicists, radar operators, designers, etc etc graduating and suddenly morphing into HOLLYWOOD ACTORS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES with ONE and ONLY ONE GOAL IN LIFE: TO PISS OFF FLAT EARTHERS. Whew. And that's just scratching the surface. I bet if you took a look at their molars these would be ground into the gums from all the seething impotent rage they must feel. Tsk.
    7
  1716. Sir you know everything and you also know how to make the people know these things easily..You are the best professor in the world..You made me understand the complicated things very easily..

  1726. Dave, it's so important that you call out this misinformation. DI has a tactic to increase their credibility with the (slightly more) intellectual population to enlist more followers. Without you they would better succeed at their intellectually corrosive goals, maybe even inspiring other failed scientists to be tempted by the DI's money to become charlatans, thus doing even more damage. Utterly destroying failed-scientist-to-charlatan Tour will send a message to others that the DI money is not without reputational consequences. And you do a damn good & important job of it!

  1727. I wish I had found this channel earlier in my A&P course! You do such a great job explaining things and your graphics are really helpful! Thanks so much Professor Dave!

  1728. Thanks!

  1729. Professor Dave once again saves my ass just in time for my test

  1730. You explained this process better than my professor...Thanks so much for your help! I understand how to calculate eigenvectors now!

  1731. This is what happens when you have a philosopher who thinks they know anything about science. His use of fancy words for no reason, lack of scientific understanding, his questioning of everything despite he's lack of awareness of what he's actually questioning. He preaches humility while spitting in the face of thousands of highly intelligent people, because "uM AcTuAlLy" your conclusion is wrong because I don't have a lick of scientific understanding but I disagree with your findings. Seriously, ask this guy about any law of science, any constant whether it be Gravitational, Planks or Avogadro and you'll come up blank.

  1732. Thank you for your Videos. Inspired by you i made my own series about origin of life (in German). ♄

  1733. I discovered Professor Dave right around the time he went at it with the Globe Busters and their FE BS. I've been a HUGE fan and an ardent follower ever since. I genuinely believe that what he does is not only a HUGE public service, but also that it is going to become increasingly important in the coming years. I thought the Internet and the permeation of Social Media would really impact society very positively. How could linking the minds of everyone in the world over smart devices and encouraging them to cooperate and interface with each other possibly go wrong?! But all it seems to have done is created a massive market for grifters of all denominations. In any case I suppose there's a silver lining in that if there weren't pseudo-science con-artists and gullible followers, we wouldn't get to enjoy watching the very intelligent people utterly destroy their grifts by shining a spotlight on their dishonesty and reducing their flawed logic to dust. I still feel though, like we're watching the beginning of the end of humanity 😅😅
    6
  1734. Hey Prof. Dave - I just found out about you through your talk on the David Pakman podcast. This is a very informative video with a special emphasis on your Tech. skills. You are definitely a solid communicator. Good luck with all of your endeavors. ✌
    6
  1735.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  What do you mean? Professor, i love your math series. It’s helping me pass a college admission exam, I really appreciate it! Legit knew absolutely nothing about math, now I am doing calculus, all thanks to you ❀

  1736. I am in my first year of pharmacy, glad that i found your channel ❀ they help a lot

  1737. I understand it. Holy shit I understand it. Thank you very much professor dave!!!!

  1738. An embarrassing hour for James. Unsurprised that he's practically yelling the whole time. Nice job Dave.
    6
  1739. Prof Dave, hey! Thanks for explaining. Anyhoo, I have a topic request for a debunk. Lately I have heard a lot about the shroud of Turin. People are claiming that the presence of organic compounds such as vanillin and bilirubin are evidence that this was a first century burial shroud, and not a medieval forgery. They also claim it could not have been painted because it doesn't have any paint or brush strokes on it. They also have an apologetic for the radiometric dating by saying that the testers sampled a piece of the shroud that was repaired in the Middle ages, not fibers from the original section of the shroud. It's peculiar to me that this has become a big talking point again lately because I feel like nobody was talking about the shroud of Turin a few years ago, and now it's everywhere in religious apologetic circles. I know you have a busy schedule of work, but I would love to see your take. You can just find any random video on YouTube discussing the shroud, and then you can do your usual takedown. I'd love to see it If your schedule doesn't permit because you're too busy with other projects, I completely understand and I will continue to enjoy your content and learn more and more with everyone of your videos I watch. Thanks professor Dave. You truly know a lot about all kinds of stuff, and thanks to you the rest of us do too!!
    6
  1740. Thank you for making this video and helping me with many things over the years!
    6
  1741. Just joined your channel! Thanks for all you do, Dave!
    6
  1742.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  done! I'll be sure to spread the word about your channel. I appreciate you!
    6
  1743. "I will admit, my youthful optimism has been diminished as I enter middle age, but I'm not giving up just yet." Hearing this in our current situation brought a few tears to my eyes. It struck me as I viewed this that Professor Dave is far more than just a popular science or tutorial channel. Of the plethora of scientific content on YouTube, good and bad, and the smorgasbord of academic channels directed towards aspiring scientists, this is one of a select few that really bring home the essence of the game we play as knowledge enthusiasts and/or scientists. Thank you, my friend, for gently and sometimes abrasively holding my hand through many a difficult subject during my years in university, putting in the time and effort to demonstrate that science does not only belong to the privileged and traditional students, and mostly thank you for going to these great lengths so that we don't forget what it all means in the first place. Peace and love from the dusty Chihuahuan desert.

  1744. Thanks!

  1745. You always save me from my physics exams and now chemistry WOW. Thank you so much

  1746. Little fun fact for who's interested: The use of a color (giallo=yellow) to indicate a thriller, comes from an old series of thriller books wich had a yellow cover.
    6
  1747. Danke!
    6
  1748. The best italian lessons on YouTube on my opinion. Some are terrible but Dave rocks it.
    6
  1749. At this point, the cringy propaganda documentary trailer with self-important narration set to stock action movie soundtracks is basically a rite of passage for creationist apologists. Or in this case, more of a last rites.
    6
  1750. ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWN! (I mean that in the best way.) Something from an entire chapter that I just couldn't comprehend you explained it in less than 7 minutes! You are a talented person with a gift in teaching! Thanks for your help! You just got a new subscriber! God bless you!
    6
  1751. Great videos... thank a lot Professor. Love from India

  1755. I found myself, due to unforeseen circumstances, teaching an AP Calculus AB class, and liked doing it so much I decided to take Calculus III. I'm not sure if I could get through vector calculus without your help! Thanks!
    6
  1756. Thanks for this series mate! Your channel has been really helpful for me for the past 2 years. Really well explained content. :)
    6
  1757. I got the full score about my test, my quiz and my hw because of this 7 mins video. I’m so happy to watch is professor, thank you so much!!!! I want more videos about that!
    6
  1758.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  just for the record, these people mystify even the things that they say to fulfill. In particular they use the Bible out of context in order to promote their blatant lies. I say it because I'm interested in the history of ancient Near East and I know that there's a lot to say in order to educate people about the history of the ancient Hebrews and of the early forms of Christianism
    6
  1759. @ i do tend to doomer! Much love, and hate that my first interaction was one of disagreement. Will always keep watching your videos. Much love and thanks for advocating for proper science đŸ–€
    6
  1760. very good explanation and descriptive material covering all aspects of the topic, keep it up!
    6
  1761. I have literally only just discovered Professor Dave and already I feel so inspired by him, he makes me want to learn more! Someone send him to space. please!
    6
  1762. Thanks!
    6
  1763. Congrats bud, well worth the sub to see this come!
    6
  1764. The most amazing teacher that ever existed. We will sure support you and subscribe to your band page. You a true hard working person!
    6
  1765. best professor in the world . was trying to understand this all for last one week . now almost all is clear just by watching 7 videos
    6
  1766. This channel is such a gem!!!
    6
  1767.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Yeah, maybe tags? On a separate note, without acting like too much of a fan boy, I really enjoy your videos. I especially like your astronomy and astrophysics series. A few years ago I was in a dark place and was hospitalized for a suicide attempt and the thing that brought me back to enjoying life again was finding an interest in space and astrophysics through Neil deGrasse Tyson. I’ve got all his books now and although I can’t fully understand it all it still really puts things in to perspective for me. All our problems are so small compared to the vast mysteries and majesty of the universe. When I’m down in that dark place again sometimes I just find a new documentary, series, or YouTube video on space and it always works in bringing me back. Recently it’s been yours. I wish I would have known when I was younger how much I liked these subjects so maybe I would have pursued them professionally. I’m sure you look at your videos as mostly educational but you’re probably helping people in other ways too which I think is pretty damn cool. Keep up the awesome work and if you’re ever down remember the people like me that you’ve made happy or calm even for just a little.

  1776. Older video, but thank you Professor Dave for everything! Your online series is amazing supplement to the book we use for our online classes at ASU, and all of my professors recommend their students to utilize your videos as a resource. I will share your videos with everyone, and it is certainly great refresher material as well. Friends and strangers alike from Italy are all surprised I can speak at intermediate level, and I credit you!
    6
  1777. I just watched your debate against Kent Hovind. You made him run away, after listening to the way he was talking at the end. Literally complete destruction when you destroyed his only argument “mosquitoes are not related to humans” which he has been corrected on so many god damn times. Well done .
    6
  1778. Thank you so much,it helped with my quiz. You're the best!
    6
  1779. What I find interesting is that most flat-earthers are Republicans. Go figure.They are also the same people who watch ridiculous Youtube videos and then incorporate the information immediately into their belief system. There were many about the current virus, and when proven wrong you will be lucky to get them to change their mind, much less admit they were wrong. I am still waiting for Trump to apologize for accusing the left of manufacturing the Covid virus as a means to hurt him politically. These idiots believe that some anti-right cabal runs the US, without taking into account that every time something shady happens in an election, it benefits the right. Trump only won because of stupid people believing nonsense, untrue things, and getting angry over something that has no basis in reality. This is how you get morons who say Sandy Hook never happened, we never went to the moon, etc. They have their heads so far up their asses that you present them with provable facts and they still think they are right, even though all the evidence points to the opposite. One thing I've learned is this: stupid people, when they don't understand something, have to compensate by making something up. Instead of admitting they are stupid, they go to these great lengths to be "right."

  1780. If this is not enough i do not know what will get you to visit England now!

  1781. Great as always!

  1784. Hey Dave, I will be reviewing the debate tonight with Aron Ra and Dr James Bundy, thanks for uploading this so I don't have to give Tour a view.
    6
  1785. you're my hero prof dave

  1786. I found this channel while searching for Calculus and now I'm really interested in almost everything in it.
    6
  1787. Concerning medicine and those who distrust it: It's importiant to make a clear distinction between the science of medicine, and the medical industry. It is true that we get fucked over, decieved and even poisioned by the pharmaceutical industry. This is however a product of the socio-economic reality it operates in (capitalism) rather then the scicentific basis of the medicine it produces. In fact, capitalism in itself is the root cause of the alternative medicine industry.
    6
  1788. I also recommended you to all of my bio and chem classmates! lol
    6
  1789. Thanks!
    6
  1790. I watch your videos to help remind myself that I am incredibly ignorant of most of the topics you present, regardless of my frequent consumption of science related content. Please, don't ever make these videos dumbed down to the layman level, as that type of explanation suggests that our understanding of complex things is just something some people figured out, instead of the obvious building knowledge upon knowledge that the learned and determined intelligent minds have worked to understand our world.
    6
  1791. Professor Dave!! Thanks so much!! your videos and explanations answer even the questions i can't articulate. And, you have great and memorable analogies which makes it a lot easier to understand and to keep up!!!
    6
  1792. I email the president of Rice University every day asking why they haven’t fired James yet. No response. I imagine if we all do it, they won’t be able to ignore it forever.
    6
  1793. I wanted to add what pr dave has done for me. He has completely shifted my perception of the world. His book, academic tutorials and debunks have shifted me to a scientific world view. Now, every single day of my life, from regular conversations, to my university life, I make a hypothesis, and require evidence to believe things. It's helped me to be a source of truth for my friends and colleagues. The difference he has made in my life, and by extension the lives of those around me can NOT be understated.
    6
  1794. Holy cow, you explained this so well thank you!
    6
  1795. Honestly, thank you for making this video Dave. I had been watching formscapes content for a while, just kind of in the background you know, hoping to learn something new. I admit I don't know a lot about science, so I was kind of taking all his information as a fact. But you've definitely debunked him here, and I'm proud to be a new subscriber to you so I can learn more about actual science! 😊
    6
  1796. Flat Earth has nothing to do with science; it’s a religion Thanks for all you do!
    6
  1797. Dave’s music is like an LSD and MDMA fueled break from reality
 and I’m here for it. The funny thing is - if you were to give most of Dave’s debate opponents healthy doses of LSD and MDMA, they might actually be able to appreciate the absurdity of their positions. I seriously think that those two compounds could have significant utility in cult deprogramming.

  1798. Traumatized by the years of traveling between countries and her mental breakdown, and reflexively pointing to a single cause for her troubles. As human beings often do.
    6
  1799. Hey Dave, it seems Piers Morgan just had Stephen Meyer on his show talking about the Origin of Life and I was hoping you could make another video debunking what he said on there. In the comments of that video, I took the liberty of giving you a shout out by telling people to check this one out. And on a personal note, thanks for your many contributions to science

  1811. I've been watching your videos for the past four years, along with other educational sources on YouTube, throughout my college journey. I graduated with a degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, and I want to thank you because I don't think I could have done it without your educational content. However, I just recently discovered your debunk videos on your Debunks/Discussions/Debates playlist. I've been binge-watching them and have truly enjoyed them. They've made me rethink many beliefs I had regarding pseudoscience. I have to admit that I believed in many of the topics you debunked, like Quantum Mysticism, Billy Carson, and claims about water. Your videos have made me question those beliefs. I believe what you're doing with these debunk videos is critical, especially in today's internet age where misinformation is spreading like never before. Many people lack basic scientific knowledge and will believe whatever is presented to them. Keep up the great content! I'm looking forward to more of your debunk videos and especially hope you address Dr. Eric Berg and Sadhguru in the future, as you mentioned in your debunk videos about water. They have a large audience, and it now scares me how much pseudoscience they're spreading. Even I have fallen victim to their misinformation.
    6
  1812. Thanks!
    6
  1813. I've only watched for a month (botany playlist). I'm very grateful. The material is pretty compressed - luckily, I can pause it - take notes & screenshots & print. (A syllabus would be nice, but you sound pretty frickin' busy with your growing family & the channel.) I'm 69, a retired shrink, and now 4 years into bonsai. None of the bonsai sites start with (or make available) the basics, as you do. THANK YOU! I'll try to contribute more - mental health as a career IS NOT the path to riches. đŸ€ȘđŸ€Ș

  1814. Thanks

  1819. Thanks from Italy, you're awesome Dave
    6
  1820. I was very intrested in the immume system but was only able to find really childish explanations or PHD level immunology's level lecture, your video allows even the common internet users such as I to learn about our Body and it's daily functions. Thnak you very much Mr.Dave, please continue your brilliant videos.
    6
  1821. Seriously such a helpful video! I appreciate your work so much and I know countless do as well!
    6
  1822.  @ProfessorDaveExplains i didn’t expect you to comment but now that you did i wanted to let you know you have helped me study for countless chem and bio exams, i probably would’ve dropped my bio major if it wasn’t for you, and that’s not even hyperbole so thank you and i love you 😘
    6
  1823. Thanks!

  1824. I was just having issues on this specific subject last week. So this really helped.

  1825. time to leave school and join professor dave membership
    6
  1826. Professor Dave, this video and the previous video were absolutely genius. I loved them so much. I think i watched each like 5 times. Super informative and entertaining. And i think your anger is warranted. I've seen a lot of comments going against your approach here and i just want you to know that i think you did a fantastic job. These are some of my favorite videos I've seen all year. Excellent job.
    6
  1827. Dave, I would simply be lost without you.
    6
  1828. Dude thank you so much
    6
  1829. You've done it again Dave, this is by far the best explanation of the the flat earth model via astronomy. So densely packed with information, and so well explained, always running it back to how the scientific method functions, love it!
    6
  1830. Also, something I like to point out, the song at the end while Dave was plugging the merch, he played his own song "Castles"! It's def a banger! I wanna see more music Dave!
    6
  1831. Thank you so much! Keep up the good content!
    6
  1832. Thank you Dave! Helpful lessons.
    6
  1833. This is exactly what I have been looking for! You are a godsend!
    6
  1834. Thanks Dave. I love these DI videos. Big question, where did you get that amazing Simpsons picture? I want one so bad.
    6
  1835.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Got around to watching the whole thing. If that's the kind of things he says all along then fair enough I suppose. Twice in my life I have tried to suggest something that questions the prevalent paradigm, and both times got so much online insult (on reddit) that this sort of tone triggers me. My mistake. Keep up the good work.
    6
  1836. I want to add another comment, THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! I understand the concepts different receptors but most times, I cannot picture the connection and how it happens (how it jumps from one type of receptor to the next). THANK YOU SO MUCH <3 Much love from philippines đŸ€

  1837. Thank you for being a voice of reason among the permeating feeling of overall human Idiocracy and anti science rhetoric these days.

  1838. Ben rides the coat tails of the EU as he wants to take over the project. In reality he is a psychopath and arrogant prick. Spoiled brat who has inherited a wealth. I know because I was his business partner and have the original contract to prove it. One of three. He is a marketing specialist. He argues pseudoscience and really is a complete waste of time acknowledging his cult. You are correct on all points! He is a complete nut that loves cocaine and pills. He screws over his friends and steps on the back of the poor to elevate himself. I feel sorry for all the idiots he as deluded. Ben is just a troll that is mentally ill in some grand delusion of grandeur. Everyone can see how ignorant this guy is. Watch him cry like a little biatch then attack like a child. So immature he fails in every aspect.

  1839. A nicely done video. Thanks!

  1848. I'm going to be taking AnP for Spring semester. I want to prepare myself and I just took my last final for chemistry yesterday. Thank you for your videos. I will start watching these videos sometime soon.
    5
  1849. So happy to see a video from you on these two! Well done. The Weinstein brothers do a lot of damage to the collective understanding of science. And don't get me started on Brian Keating. He's a blemish on an otherwise distinguished university. Although I will point out that my department (Neurosciences) has way more extramural research funding than his does. I guess he's too busy podcasting. If you ever want to set your scientifically critical sights on Andrew Huberman or Daniel Amen, I'd love to see it! Hope all is well.

  1850. This man is helping me in everything, literally everything, 90% of my day is just learning from this amazing guy!

  1851. I’m a new mom watching these videos to keep my mind engaged while I take care of my baby! You explain things so well and thinking about science makes me feel alive again postpartum 🎉
    5
  1852. Thanks!
    5
  1853. The problem is is that if you ignore the promulgation of anti-intelectual psuedoscientific ideas, and dont do anything to counter it, you end up with what we have now. Education isnt valued, science is denied by our leaders, the average person is easily decieved by people with ill-intent. We cant afford to ignore it.

  1858. Man I just saw Flint Dibble's most recent video before I watched this one and I have to say these guys are complete scumbags. I know Terry and whoever the fuck aren't really part of that particular exchange(as far as I'm aware) but right now Joe Rogan and his anti intellectual cronies are going on this smear campaign to try to cope with the fact that Dibble mopped the floor with Graham Hancock calling him a liar and saying he "plays fast and loose" with the science because he got a single point wrong and misspoke or otherwise commented on something he wasn't 100% sure about. But then here you have these two geniuses who Rogan proudly platforms, along with the other pseudo-science scumbags and all they do is play fast and loose. Except not really, because in order for them to do that, they would have to understand the science first at least to some degree. It really pisses me off and I used to not be the biggest fan of the aggressive attitude used by Professor Dave but considering what monumental pieces of garbage these people are, I'm glad he's calling them out for what they are and not pulling punches. These people are idiots and because of assholes like Joe Rogan, they are trusted more than actual experts despite the fact that they can't even use basic spell check and they're sitting here acting like they are qualified to critique the greatest minds of all time

  1859.  @ProfessorDaveExplains i think I’m gonna get your book in the description of this video sounds like a good read btw I know the pain of trying to argue with flat earthed really mad respect that you can hold your composure and still argue with really sound arguments
    5
  1860. Awesome. Liked, shared, and I’m buying the book.

  1861. Why are most Nobel laureates Christians? idk, might have something to do with how they conquered about 2/3 of the world, notably including the region where the modern scientific method was developed, violently suppressed nonbelievers, and pass on their beliefs by heavily indoctrinating their children? For most Christians, and religious people in general, their religion isn't something they arrived at consciously, it's embedded in their culture and upbringing, and they certainly don't conflate it with observable reality (thank all of their gods lmao)

  1869. Dave, heard you're debating WItsit. Watch Globebusters Ep. 11.9 from 18:00 - 28:00, where they discuss Witsit's strategy against you. Witsit will be trying to call you out on some points you mentioned against David Weiss. I wanted to alert you to Witsit's major talking points: (1) Earth doesn't move. It doesn't rotate and orbit the sun. Foucault's Pendulum & optical gyros detect the aether's vortexing motion, not earth's spin. He'll mention papers showing the spin rate decreases with altitude, which shouldn't occur if it was the earth that is spinning. One such example is David Miller's papers. These are BS papers and lack statistical analysis, so the variance he detected is statistically insignificant. Statistics weren't carried out on papers of old, unlike today. Another effective rebuttal is to ask him how the precession of Foucault's pendulum changes with latitude if it was the aether vortex that it detects. Witsit will then likely claim centrifugal forces generated by the universe's motion around us creates that pattern (called Mach's principle). But no such motion around us has ever been detected; there's no angular momentum to the universe. What we see is the universe expanding in all directions. The Gravity Probe B experiment disproves Mach's principle. Regarding orbit, Witsit will claim Newton requires earth to change direction as it circles around the sun, which needs a force (gravity, the centripetal force), but Einstein says gravity isn't a force and earth moves in a geodesic - a straightline path thru curved spacetime. He'll also say the Michelson-Morley expt. showed earth doesn't orbit the sun, which is patently false. They were using the orbit to test for the aether. Also, he may bring up the Sagnac expt., Michelson-Gale and Airy's failure misunderstanding & misrepresenting each one of them. Witsit will ask for exclusive evidence that earth orbits the sun. The answers are stellar aberration (James Bradley, 1727), stellar parallax (Friedrich Bessel, 1838), Romer's observation of Jupiter's moon Io, annual Doppler shift of stars (blue & red shifts) due to earth's orbit, Kepler's 3rd law etc. The 3rd law can be derived from Newtonian gravitational law, thereby providing a dynamic mechanism for earth's orbit. Witsit's alternative - geocentrism - lacks such a dynamic mechanism. It can only claim kinematic equivalence. His main rebuttal will be that aberration, parallax & Doppler shifts show it's the stars that are moving, not earth. But that's just a vague handwave dismissal. There are lots of nuances. For instance, aberration is the same for all stars and independent of their distance from earth, whereas parallax decreases with distance of the star. Aberration is 90 degrees out of phase with parallax because it depends on earth's velocity, while parallax depends on earth's position in its orbit. Aberration causes stars to trace circles at the ecliptic poles, straight lines at the ecliptic plane and ellipses everywhere in between. Such detailed nuances cannot be accounted for by geocentrism. Also, geocentrists try to explain parallax by claiming the stars orbit the sun while the sun goes around the earth. If this is the case, that can't even be called parallax and it will be a daily occurrence, not an annual event. Witsit will also wrongly claim that earth's orbit cannot be measured. It has been measured with stellar aberration. The speed of earth's movement - 30 km/s is directly obtained from aberration given the contant speed of light. Moreover, in recent decades, acceleration of the solar system and even that of the Milky Way have been measured with VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry). VLBI has also been used to measure Earth's wobbles. Witsit is still stuck with 19th century interferometry, and is not aware of VLBI. A new version of aberration using distant quasars instead of stars, can be used to detect the solar system's motion. There are papers available describing these. Please check them out. (2) VHF radio over 30 MHz can be transmitted thousands of km showing the earth is flat. But this is explained by Sporadic E propagation, which Witsit ignores. (3) Planar surveying shows earth is flat. But he ignores that planar surveying has a distance limit to it, beyond which only geodetic surveying is employed. If the earth was actually flat, such a limit to planar surveying wouldn't be there. (4) Models of the earth's interior are wrong because the data obtained from the deepest hole dug in Russia at 12 km depth were in disagreement with geologists' predictions. (5) Southern flights travel longer distances than on the globe by taking advantage of jet streams. Ask him how jet streams switch directions for return flights. And why do jet streams travel along the outer perimeter of the AE map? Makes no sense on FE. In reality, these winds are produced by the rotation of the earth from west to east. (6) Antarctica can't be freely and privately explored due to the treaty. But that's the same for any hazardous place like Mt. Everest. Several tour operators carry a growing number of tourists not just to Antarctica but all the way to the South Pole every season. Note that flat earthers haven't so far taken up Will Duffy's offer to fly them to Antarctica, all expenses paid, and witness the 24h sun.

  1870. Awesome. Pre-ordered it. We need more of this kind of thing. In a similar vein I'd highly recommend "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan.

  1877. Another good take down, Prof. Dave! I have a question about contracting the consensus. You often mention that dweebs dont have the requisite training to comment on specific things (Casey Luskin is a Geologist, not a Biologist, Ben Davidson is a lawyer, not an astrophysicist, etc) and you even mentioned that YOU are a chemist, not a physicist/biologist/etc. but that you focus on sharing the consensus of these fields, not challenging it or introducing new hypotheses. That makes sense, and we are all better off for your work (ive learned a LOT from your many serieses here! Thank you!!) But i guess my question is: Is there any room in the science community for challenges to consensus from "laypeople", as it were? Could a professional accountant (who just loves chemistry or something) be the guy who stumbled upon something crazy and game-changing while screwing around in his free time? Has the consensus ever been significantly shifted as a result of the findings of someone who DIDN'T have the requisite credentials to challenge the field? I have another question but imma do it in a separate comment so i have an excuse to tip you a couple more bucks. Thanks!!

  1878. Thank you, Dave!! This deserves a thorough treatment that I know you can give!

  1890. I was actually starting to believe in the flat earth 4 years ago then I saw your debunking flat earth videos and I was against you 😂 but then I started watching your videos about various topics and I learned a lot through your videos. I’ve stopped believing in flat earth years ago now because of you and I just find it funny at this point 😂😂. Thank you for enlightening me and many others because I was honestly starting to believe it at the time 😂
    5
  1891. Oh man, I love this video, I loved it so much that I paused it at 3:29 & subscribed to your channel. I can't wait to see the comments, I wonder if any of them are gonna try to prove themselves right by trying to prove you wrong. I've not come across your channel before, it was a suggested while watching a SciManDan video.
    5
  1892. Thankful that you gave information in such a direct, concise, manner. Most you-tubers try to “entertain” while educating, and it’s annoying as hell.
    5
  1893. You are very good at teaching.
    5
  1894. Love you and your work!! I can’t wait to study physics this fall with your help

  1897. I just wanted to write and say how much I've been enjoying your astronomy series. I'm 46 and, in truth, poorly educated. My knowledge of, and fascination with, astronomy is something that I have gleaned from various sources over the last 25 years or so but it is still very much a lay-person's level of understanding. Your series, being incredibly easy to digest, has filled in a lot of the gaps in that knowledge whilst being very entertaining. So, thank you Prof. Dave and keep up the good work.
    5
  1898. Hi Dave, just wanted to show some support and appreciation for the good work. I also sent an email if you have the time to read. Thanks.
    5
  1899. Good on Dave for rolling up his sleeves and not pulling a single punch. Even when asked by the audience to say something nice, he stuck to his guns. Building Tour back up would destroy the whole point of this debate. Being nice has resulted in all this nonsense pseudoscience. Anti-vaccines, anti-mask, anti-science, flat earth
until you tell them what they believe is objectively stupid, nothing is going to happen. Sitting them down like they’re infants and saying “hey, buddy, let’s talk about something for a minute” is a non-starter. Speak to them like they’re adults, confront them directly, and be brutally honest. Even if it doesn’t change the mind of the idiot in front of you, it might change the mind of those watching (in other words, someone who watches Dave’s debunk video or reads this comment).

  1902. Hey there, I started watching your videos in 2020 when I began deconstructing my beliefs and after years of hearing Christian apologetics it was extremely refreshing to have these things debunked and explained in a clear way. I find your videos extremely healing and I wanted to thank you for what you do. I can’t express how grateful I am for people like you who help us brainwashed folks understand the science we never got a chance to.
    5
  1903. I am playing catch up on your output having found you on a page tracking the debates of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. I have been an atheist since the age of 8 and have really only been interested in science, logic and reason. At the age now of 70 i have never before contributed monetarily to any on line media site, your work and quality output is increasingly important as this world seems intent on forgetting the history of the species and blindly drifts towards theocracy via extreme rightwing Nazism. I have signed up to pay you an admittedly small amount per month, however, as this comes from my pension it probably means as much as a larger amount coming from a still working individual. Please continue and expand your attacks against these religious lunatics, for the good of all the species an the planet😁
    5
  1904. My mother tongue is Turkish but I'm studying chemistry in Germany. Sometimes lectures could be a challenge for me because of the language barrier so whenever I do have a problem with understanding my organic chemistry professor I watch your videos. They are really helpful even though English is the third language that I learned so far. Thanks a lot! ❀

  1908. I am really enjoying learning Italian from you 😍. I am also planning to do my masters in Italy because of you. Can u please make a playlist for French too, I will be looking forward for it. For now can u suggest a good channel for learning French as I opted French as foreign language in my college, I have credits for it and my professor isn't teaching well. I hope you will help me survive this situation. Thank you.

  1913. I was seconds away from dropping my class because I got overwhelmed by the thought of having to self teach my A&P Biology Lecture Lab class. We are due for a lab exam in 3 days despite the pandemic. I came across this video/channel and I am saved. Thank you Prof.DaddyDave!

  1917. Great video debunking this nonsense claim, Professor Dave. It's really gotten to the point where any new discovery that is slightly at odds with what we thought we knew about cosmology is touted off by creationists and crackpots as a "complete and total annihilation" of the theory. You pretty much gave them the response they're entitled to get: a few laughs and groans with a healthy dose of introductory science. For anyone who wants to know a little more about Lerner's claim and why it's rubbish, you may want to look up something called the "Tolman surface brightness test." Basically, galaxies took up more of the volume of the early universe (which was much, much smaller back then), so we see them with a larger apparent size compared to nearby galaxies based on the light we receive in our telescopes. Lerner's entire "debunking" of big bang cosmology essentially revolves around that, while simultaneously misunderstanding (or ignoring) the fact that (as pointed out in this video and in the lead author's comment) galaxies evolve, grow, and merge with each other over time (contrary to what Lerner says). This is all beside the point anyway, as we don't yet have accurate spectroscopic redshifts of these galaxies from JWST, so we can't gauge their distances with high enough confidence for these extraordinary claims. I think some of the "high redshift" galaxies (the redshift estimated by other means) that have been discovered by JWST have already been shown to be closer than previously thought (so not as old as people like Lerner might argue). I wouldn't be surprised if most (or at least a large proportion) of these "too old" galaxies turn out the same way.

  1921.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Always got to pick your content carefully for optimal impact, I guess. I've always appreciated the balance you've curated between discussing so many subjects while also finding the time to deflate the purchasing power of wealthy DI donors with your debunks.

  1931. I lamely watch flat earth vs Round Earth debates and flat earth debunk videos on a daily basis. I know every flat earth and round earth YouTube channel. I’ve seen hundreds of videos from round earthers debunking flat earthers. All of those round earthers have channels dedicated to this stuff. You’re channel only has 3 or 4 of these videos. Yet those 3 or 4 videos of yours are the only videos I’ve ever seen with a numerous amount of flat earthers saying they’ve converted to globe earth thanks to you. Keep it up man. You’re not even dedicated to this topic yet you do the best

  1934.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  so happy to hear! I love your tutorials ad well, I am at best an armchair biologist and paleontologist but it is something I very much enjoy learning about. My 6 year old son is high functioning autistic and loves science, we watch your tutorials together whenever he has questions as the visuals really help him. Just wanted to thank you. When I am in a better financial state I will donate more.
    5
  1935. As a Christian, I'm embarrassed by Dr. Tours inability to be kind, patient, and loving. I'm sorry Dave, the Christians in the audience were not good examples of Christ. This debate was so embarrassing it took 3 days to get through it. Even though I don't fully embrace abiogenesis, you clearly won this debate. Christians, the DI institute, and all the rest need to stay out of the conversation. James thinks he's helping our cause, when in reality, he's digging our grave. Thank you for doing this. Please continue to make more content confronting christians who are lying/twisting the truth.
    5
  1936. I binge on your videos at night before bed

  1937. Professor Dave, you are an absolute inspiration to me. I’m eventually going to try science communication, after I get my teaching degree and my zoology degree. Thank you for giving me hope that I can change things little by little

    5
  1947. The reason I love your content, as well as seek to emulate you in the content I make. Is 1. an ability and desire to call out bad actors and liars but 2. being a generalist. I think it would be better for all of society if as many people as possible embrace being a generalist. Lets face it, not everyone is going to be a PhD, I certainly wasnt cut out for that environment, so instead why not know a little about a lot instead of a lot about a little
    5
  1948. you are a king prof dave!! you are the only channel where i turn off my ad blocker
    5
  1949. Okay so I consider myself a psychonaut. I've taken high doses of many types of psychedelics and I've had the mystical experience more than once. Leo is delusional. Leo has no idea wtf he's talking about. He has took a drink from the stream of gnosis but thinks he's the source of the river. Man is this dude a charlatan. I'll tell you guys this. If you decide to seek these enthogens. Whatever you experience is ONLY FOR YOU. You should never do what Leo is trying to do. He's a predator. Yes, you can have powerful and awakening experiences but you should never ever try to spread whatever knowledge you obtain to others. I hold a degree in philosophy and i believe these enthogens can help us push to the limits of understanding and help the field physics advance further. This shit is wild though. The only thing I know about the nature of reality is that I don't know anything for absolute certainty. If you're interested in actual science. Look up Rolland Griffin at John Hopkins. They're doing psycilocibin studies on the mystical experience. They're about to release the results for the study they recently did on world religious leaders who have the mystical experience while under psychedelics. NEVER LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO CLAIMS THEY KNOW ANYTHING WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTIES! ONLY A SITH SPEAKS IN ABSOLUTES!..lol for real tho. Fuck these people they make the medicine look bad.

  1953. Professor Dave Explains I wish I could explain how much I love this video and your channel. I've watched it over and over and just laugh at the nonsense that flat earthers put out in the comments. I've even moved on to your trigonometry videos as my most advanced math I took was trigonometry and I liked it but never took it further. Wish I could have but now I can with your channel/ refresh my understandings of trigonometry and continue learning mathematics. You explains things very well and it all came back to me once you explained it in your trigonometry videos. I love your comments to the trolls as they never reply as that makes me laugh as they know it's a hoax/use fake accounts/sock accounts. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching. Keep up the good work my man!
    5
  1954. Keep up the great work.
    5
  1955. That was a year ago?! Damn, time flies. I know you get fewer views on your academic content, but, for what it's worth, I will be forever grateful for it. I deal with a couple chronic conditions that forced me to withdraw from my first attempt at a double major in biology and chemistry (2006 before YouTube became what it is today.) I finally went back to school several years ago but still ran into issues getting to every single lecture. Wouldn't have gotten the grades I needed for medical school without content like yours.
    5
  1956. Seriously, I watch this at least once every two weeks....... Pretty sure I'm at least 250k of those views.
    5
  1957. Professor dave I'm a teacher and I've got to hand it to you. You do such a good job simplifying difficult ideas that it's beautiful to see as well as being informative and enjoyable. Rock on :)))))
    5
  1958. Haha. I mean, I’m just doing the mockery by overt sarcasm bit, responding to what came up during the stream, and in direct response to GB (among many others) who inveigh against Dave (amongst others) for being soooOOOOOooooo rude, and then dishing out worse themselves.
    5
  1959. Hey Dave, I just wanted to say - I’m from England and my girlfriend is Mexican and while her English is kickass and far better than my Spanish, she likes subtitles (often native English speakers talk too fast for her as I’m sure you can imagine) - not only do you do what you do, but it also seems that you or someone on your team is dedicated to ensuring that the subtitles are actually representative of what’s being said (unlike 99% of YouTube - which often prevents us from watching highbrow content on here), replete with not only timing and punctuation, but also with little in-jokes for the readers. That’s true communication. Thank you mate, keep doing what you’re doing, it’s appreciated.
    5
  1960. I’m watching on July 22, so happy birthday!! Love these videos.
    5
  1961. Hello professor. Today I saw your video on how you started your YouTube channel and the stuff about your studies. I really want to say that you are so relatable to me as I also have my Bachelor's degree in Physics and want to pursue my Master's degree in Nuclear Physics. I wanted to thank you wholeheartedly for all your support and your positivity. You make me understand even the toughest topics that the professors in our university (Mumbai University, India) struggle with sometimes. I admire you the most. I even talk about you with my friends and family. You are my inspiration as I also like to teach. Thank you Professor. From Kshitij Mishra
    5
  1962. Your channel needs more attention! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and explaining difficult topics in a simple way. Your calculus playlist really helped me a few years back. I wish you continued success, and good luck!
    5
  1963. Danke!

  1964. Dear Dave can you please make full fledged 1 hour lectures, I can keep learning from you for hour.
    5
  1965. Thank you for telling the factual story behind Bret Weinstien and how he threw students and faculty under the bus to become a right-wing grifter. I graduated that year (2017) from Evergreen State College and I can not describe to you the rage I still feel every-time him and his brother are brought up. I hate that he ruined my graduation and endangered the lives of my friends and peers just so he could join the right wing grift and spread lies and misinformation as a career. What I hate most of all, is that he pretty much got away with it and still gets work to this day. what a deplorable piece of trash. He also used to send psychotic chain emails to the faculty and staff ranting about all sorts of things such as white discrimination. To be a 40+ year old man confronting an 18 year old (basically a child) and crying an whining like a little baby because his feelings were hurt is just disgusting. One of the worst sellouts of all time. One of my top most hated people.
    5
  1966. When I graduate, I will support channels like this who helped me in my college journey
    5
  1967. Thanks!
    5
  1968. Thank you Professor Dave for sharing your videos. I have been your avid student of your videos which have been very very helpful to me in my physics class.

  1970. Merci !

  1971. This is a great video, nice job. I think there are 2 main causes behind flat earth belief. The first is the "need" to believe the earth is flat to go along with some whacked-out interpretation of religious scripture. The people in this category have willingly shut their brains off and are impervious to all facts, logic, and evidence. They're completely hopeless, and are to be ignored. The second cause is a strong affinity for conspiracy fairytales. After all, the strongest predictor that somebody will believe in a given conspiracy tale is that they believe in other conspiracy tales. This concept is known as "crank magnetism." Couple this with low education and a longing to feel special in a world that has them down, and you've got very fertile ground for flat eartherism. By necessity, all of the flat earth "evidence" and main talking points are extremely simplistic. They always tend toward very general, broad-brush assertions. They never "show their work" in a satisfying way; that is, they never derive formulas, they never provide diagrams that successfully illustrate a concept as a general case, they never offer a means of quantifying anything, they never offer a means of modeling or predicting anything, etc. Indeed, to be a "good" flat earth argument it is absolutely essential that anybody - and I mean anybody - can understand the gist of what is being said, with zero effort, and requiring no relevant education or professional experience. This aspect of simplicity is the defining trait of flat earth argumentation. That is why, in the flat earth cult, the road to erudition is paved with lazy conspiracism. All you need to do is watch a few 10 minute Youtube conspiracy videos and suddenly you're catapulted from being an insecure know-nothing to somebody who is in possession of special knowledge. Having grown tired of feeling "dumb" in a fast-paced world where people who understand math and science always seem to get ahead, the flat earther candidate finds immense appeal in dead-simple Youtube videos and the ground-breaking revelations they purport to contain.   It's not really hard to see how we got here. Take a climate where there exists widespread distrust in authority/government, throw in a service like Youtube that gives any old dummy a free-of-charge platform to broadcast whatever they want without having to adhere to any standard of accuracy or truth, and bring in a fringe audience of Dunning-Krugerites who "don't know what they don't know" in science and math, and boom, the earth is flat.   The hypocrisy and utter dearth of intellectual honesty on display in flat earth is staggering. Its adherents constantly implore people to "wake up" and "do research" and "question everything" yet these same people live by an ethos that is characterized by an obstinate refusal to research anything at all. Instead of making an honest attempt at learning how things really work and how such things came to be known, they would prefer to credulously hitch their collective wagon to an endlessly repeated short list of untenable "arguments" they picked up from internet memes and scientifically illiterate conspiracy videos. "Do your own research?" They are the absolute worst offenders of what they claim to rail against. If one must insist on learning everything about the world by lazily watching Youtube, then the kicker is, they can still do that and learn information that is actually true. It's telling that FE'ers are always running away from the realities that have been uncovered by centuries of scientific discovery; you never see them running toward any kind of cohesive and self-consistent alternative. "We can't prove the earth is flat, but we know it isn't round, because NASA lies and Youtube told me so." This kind of baseless denial can only come from a deeply entrenched cult mindset, mental illness, low intelligence, willful ignorance, or some combo thereof. I'll leave with some fitting words by Galileo: "The eyes of an idiot perceive little by beholding the external appearance of a human body, as compared with the wonderful contrivances which a careful and practiced anatomist or philosopher discovers in that same body when he seeks out the use of all those muscles, tendons, nerves, and bones; or when examining the functions of the heart and the other principal organs, he seeks the seat of the vital faculties, notes and observes the admirable structure of the sense organs, and (without ever ceasing in his amazement and delight) contemplates the receptacles of the imagination, the memory, and the understanding. Likewise, that which presents itself to mere sight is as nothing in comparison with the high marvels that the ingenuity of learned men discovers in the heavens by long and accurate observation."

  1974. If you believe in bible you know that whales are fish, bats are birds, donkeys can talk, women should be locked outside during their periods and shouldn't be allowed to speak in public, slavery is cool, and eating a bacon double cheeseburger is a sin punishable by death. Oh and you also believe that Earth is a disc AND a square at the same time because the bible says both.

  1975.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I’m just getting to that part :) I love seeing you obliterate these “scientists.” I don’t see how anyone could walk away from one of your debunking videos or debates still believing in YEC. Keep fighting the good fight - no one does it better!

  1977.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I did right before I clicked on this video lol it’s amazing how all that turned out he is a con man your absolutely right I respect you for all you do in your attempt to educate and debate people who have a view on a false sense of the scientific community you gained my sub tho keep up the good work, I watched your debate with the creationist in that two video part I don’t know how you keep calm in all of that it drives me nuts
    5
  1978. Thanks! I really like the videos you make about the israelites. It helps me understand who they were from a historical perspective. Still in the midst of deconstruction from the bible. I listen to a lot of atheist debates online. And adding these videos you make to the Lexicon helps out. Thanks so much.đŸŽ‰â€đŸŽ‰â€đŸŽ‰

  1981. As a PhD student who has worked in academia on a major physics experiment for four going on five years, I was definitely taken aback by this video by Sabine. The absolute boneheaded assertion that scientists don't care about the results they produce as long as they keep being paid... And that they are lying to the public... This makes my blood boil. Now I am only experienced in my particular area of particle physics... But every scientist, graduate student, researcher I have met has cared about what they work on, and want the best results possible. In addition, she harped on experiments like DUNE because she says they are wastes of public tax payer dollars. Ignoring the fact that these experiments still only use a small fraction of the total US budget (because the science budget I think is around 1%), there are so many reasons why funding these experiments, even if they don't produce results that change the foundations of physics, are in the public interest. For one they increase our knowledge of physics and pushes the field forward (especially in the case of DUNE). And many times they strive to measure something that has been impossible previously, so they need to develop new technology that did not exist before which could be used in other fields or help lead to more technological advancements that could benefit society. And lastly, what I think is perhaps the most important, is these experiments train hundreds even thousands of early career researchers, where they not only learn how to perform research, but they also learn many new skills like software, hardware, engineering, etc that helps them to become a more skilled researcher which can enable them to pursue various successful careers. This effect of training young scientists, like myself in fact, should not be ignored.

  1982. Dave I don't know you but I wanted to say that your videos have kept me sane during the lockdown here in the UK. I was also seriously injured and while recovering from my injury over many months, your videos helped my brain to keep active too. Love your videos so much that when I recently found out I hadn't subscribed to you, I was mortified lol. Keep them coming and all the best. subscribed now though ;)
    5
  1983. I think you failed to point out a key political point that Brian Keering made in his first statement. Notice how he calls anti-science (or faux-science) anti-authoritarian. No. They are on the side of authoritarianism. This whole anti-science movement is part of the authoritarian project where they need to downplay the importance of science and experts, as they deem them a threat to the brutal authority of muscle and might, that is to say fascism. They are openly working to fire all public servants who are not politically aligned with whatever their leader says.

  1987. @ProfessorDaveExplains  thank you! I never expected to get a reply from the content creator. I found your videos from some a flat-earth debunking rabbit hole I dove into, and now I'm gorging myself on your channel. This is going to be awesome!

  2005. You would definitely get my vote, you're the perfect candidate for the very reason you state here. You are an excellent educator and communicator of science, I couldn't think of a better choice.

  2018. I think we will eventually discover that life is ubiquitous throughout the universe, and perhaps even in our solar system. I don't think life formed on Earth because conditions were "perfect". I think life formed here not because of perfect conditions, but despite those challenging conditions on early Earth. We evolved in those conditions on early Earth and have continued to for billions of years. So of course Earth's conditions seem to be perfectly suited for us. But I think life is a persistent property of matter, and it will find a way to form in most environments, no matter how seemingly harsh. Of course, I have no evidence for this belief, but history has shown that humans have always overestimated their own importance and specialness. As we explore our neighboring planets, I think we will be surprised at how common and diverse life is.
    4
  2019. Can't believe I've watched almost 6 hours centered around this single debate ... and have been educated and entertained the whole time. Tour is quite clearly "tool" in every sense and exposed his motives directly. He's here to fool people who aren't experts into ignoring the experts, a total fraud. This was more than just a debunking, it's a re-dunking looping in the actual scientists who wrote those papers referenced. Naturally I can't fully keep up, but by the fact of how they questions flowed I could tell that Dave knew more than enough to put it all in context and get said experts to sign off on that understanding. I am nothing short of inspired by the thoroughness of this process.

  2020. Thanks Dave. As a college instructor introducing students to their first Chemistry course, I especially appreciate 1) such excellent YouTube explanations, 2) getting them fresh now that a new quarter has begun, and 3) being an early commenter!
    4
  2021.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Fair enough. Who am I to impose my own rules onto you? If your method of doing things is effective in persuading people away from ridiculous ideas like the ones in the video, that's what matters. I suppose I just find it personally irritating and that's not really a good enough reason to write a comment acting like an ass. I apologize. My ego has been stuffed back into its box. (for now. it's like playing whack-a-mole!🙄)

  2030.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Isn't it ridiculous? like, I grow plants and share vegetables with my neighbors. much better thing to base a persons identity on. Also TYVM for helping me understand science better, and providing me with much entertainment with your debunks. AND; It is good to see that someone in an anti authority space was fighting frauds.

  2036.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  i feel like James radiates evil superhero vibes like Homelander and you radiate antihero vibes. Like you can come off as pretentious sometimes, but that's just because you are explaining science to people who are actually dangerous. It's easy to see your content and be like "oh this guy is so abrasive" but I can't lost a match of overwatch without putting a hole through my monitor so the fact that you have enough patience to even form coherent sentences when dealing with somebody like james is saintlike

  2042. Thanks for sharing all of this content for free with us Dave. It really has been a wonderful past few years for me watching this channel, and I'm glad to have discovered it. I came out of the Atheist/skeptic side of YouTube from way back in the day, so I don't necessarily use this for academic purposes, but I find the content enriching nonetheless (as others have expressed). When I had found your channel, I was in the midst of starting to really give up on YouTube to be honest. All of the political and identity politics focused content really started to grate on me, as it even seeped onto channels I liked before. It was really starting to feel like valuable discussion and intellectual content was starting to slip through the cracks on this site. Gone to be replaced with exclusively reactionary and "debate bro" content, rather than focused on sharing and discussing facts and information. This channel was a real breath of fresh air, and still is. Here's to the next ten years!

  2044. I’m always game for a DI takedown, but
man, am I conflicted about the addiction/psychosis jab. I don’t disagree about narcissistic personality disorder and based on his prior behavior I wouldn’t even say it’s uncalled for. But there’s just something that needles me about using language or arguments that could further alienate people that live with symptoms like addiction or psychosis on a daily basis. I’d hate to come across as a sympathy-for-the-devil type, and none of this excuses the “bad science, worse behavior” we’ve all seen from James Tour, and I’ve seen enough of your content to know you don’t need a watchdog at all when it comes to using empathetic or inclusive language. I guess this is just me (over)thinking out loud. I hope you don’t mind. Here’s a comment for the algorithm either way. :)

  2045.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Nice
 Brilliant and you have great taste! I still have the same SNES I got for Christmas in 1991. Still play it occasionally too. Keep up the great work Dave, it’s very entertaining watching you expose all these grifters.

  2046. Professor Dave, Thank you for what you do! As someone who has a MA in biological anthropology, I’m impressed by how you hit nearly every major creationist talking point whilst presenting the paleoanthropological fossil record in a very digestible way. It’s videos like these, in my opinion, that do more good for science literacy of the public than semester long coursework.

  2047. As someone who was attending TESC at this time, thank you for talking about Brett's lies that hurt the school and students. The media ran with it and put us in danger.

  2056. I would like to say thank you for your content on Jimbo, it is so funny to see him soil himself when pressed. I would also like to pose a question: could I use clips of your videos to make a music video of Jimbo ranting and raving like the lunatic idiot that he is?

  2058. And Christians are learning and listening to you also I dig your compassion ❀ for learning thats what science is about. It 🙏 should not inhibit and everything bad in the world was carried out in his name I just hope you realize if someone is saying something stupid about science God doesn't dig that love is what he is about science is like music in that it will be free no one can control it .it's very Christian to take the time to teach us thank you Dave 😊

  2059. Thanks @ProfessorDaveExplains for debunking the misinformation from Terrance Howard.

Now I get to take the exam with only knowing this stuff for 3 days. LMAO. I should be fine though.

  2085. It's worth reinforcing the fact that Jonathan McLatchie became an anti-evolution born-again Christian well before he spent several years earning a masters and doctorate in Evolutionary Biology -- a subject he believed was a complete lie as he was studying it. Clearly, his sole purpose for earning those two advanced degrees was to lend him greater authority and a higher profile in the Christian apologist community in their attack on evolution, but since most of his efforts have been focused on general apologetics, it doesn't seem to have been paying off for him, at least not to the extent he had hoped.
    4
  2086.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  can't wait to see it. Thank you for not backing down on calling out James Tour on being a liar. I applaud you not falling for his "come to the board". You were masterful in your deconstruction and he literally had no answers except for "what aboutisms".

  2090. This is excellent, I watched everything on the playlist and I really look forward to the penicillin episode! There is so much delicately thought of information woven between the facts and it must be difficult to sieve through what needs to be delivered in each episode. The historical pictures and the economic scale of the drugs involved really puts perspective to the industry, putting the dye industry in account to the RnD arsenal that will develop pharmaceuticals was brilliant. This series is ultimately valuable for every kind of person and especially those about to enter the field. Thank you for this!

  2091. Thanks! It is critical that people who make claims without evidence, and wrap themselves in antiestablishment rhetoric, are ridiculed for their positions.

  2092. I went to your Simulated Sun YouTube channel and listened to your music videos - they're great! I have been a big fan of electronic music since the late 60s (yes, I'm old) and really enjoyed your work. I also just signed up on Patreon to support your Professor Dave work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

  2099. Thanks for FE-Debunking trilogy. Have you thought about doing more debunking videos but science education focused? Like debunking one single point/argument and from there develop all related science behind it. Even non-flatearther would benefit from these kind of education videos. By the way, just watched your interview with team skeptic. You are a great guy, and thank you for all your education videos.

  2106. Tour seems like a fun person to be around at Thanksgiving given the fact that he acts out like child who had his candy taken away. And no I will not refer to him as “Dr.” since this clown doesn’t even respect scientific literature like an actual person with a doctorate in any science would.

  2109. Stavo cercando un canale che mi permettesse di ripassare i concetti matematici dalle cose piĂč semplici e mi sono imbattuta nel suo canale. Scorrendo le Playlist ho visto questa sull'italiano, Ăš stato davvero inaspettato :-) immagino lei sia di origini italiane. Comunque complimenti per le spiegazioni matematiche, sono chiarissime! :-)

  2110. The popular misconception of science is that it's esoteric practical wizardry... It works by some form of magic involving sometimes common words adopted to have specific rigorous meanings that are essentially meaningless to anyone who hasn't been to Hogwart's Science Academy. Words like, 'theory.' ...Because math and philosophy are hard. Pseudoscience grifters play on these foundational weak points in understanding and groom and cultivate a cult of occult mystery in which the grifter is a prophet-like persona, specially gifted with unique understanding to deliberately lead his fans/cultees away from the basic understanding that science is only a disciplined way of thinking that can produce explanations for nature with reproducible predictive utility. It isn't science unless it can be tested... and measured... and that the explanation works in a quantitatively reproducible way every time, without exception. It requires foundational tools and those tools take effort to cultivate. People also tend to prefer absolutes and have an allergy to discovering they're wrong so explanations that have qualified certainty can seem less desirable and they don't grasp that being wrong is the first step in becoming less wrong.

  2117. Love your channel! I watch your videos for math stuff sometimes and I'm just starting to learn Italian and when I saw that you made Italian videos I was like " n o w a y ". Love your work, keep it up. (Also your flat earth videos are pretty great)

  2125. The worst result is MAGA types like Eric Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, Rogan, Tate, Musk are all claiming college degrees are worthless and liberal thinktanks that censor people....thereby convincing their ignorant followers under 18 not to go to school....thereby keeping the populace ignorant and willing to fall for their bullshit that further leads to their oligarchy expanding in wealth. It was hard to become one of the upper 5% previously, but now 99% of Americans will never even have a chance. If you aren't born wealthy, you will never become wealthy under trump and his cronies as they destroy democracy and our institutions.

  2127.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I realize that it sounds like I was implying that and I'm sorry, that isn't what I meant. I was just arguing against the "Scientism" mentality.

  2136. Coming here immediately from Professor Dave's analysis and commentary on the JRE episodes with both Terrence Howard and Billy Carson, I just wanted to say I'm so damn thankful someone (other than 'Some More News') is lobbing heavy criticism at the Joe Rogan-sphere and his endless array of grifters, pseudo scientists and total right-wing weirdos. He's an incredibly stupid and disingenuous man who won't have on real experts with integrity anymore, or anyone with real tangible information and solutions that could help humankind- humankind that DESPERATELY needs it right now. Joe's turned into a phony, 250-million dollar man wearing a hoodie, ironically embodying quite a lot that he claims to rail against- while continuously platforming total charlatans (like these two)... Anyway, keep up the good work Professor Dave- cheers! 👊
    4
  2137. Well explained, understandable and clear... Thank you prof. All your videos are very useful. I've been watching all of them.
    4
  2138. Professor Dave, WHAT A LECTURE. Oh My God! Dude, this video is excellent, love how you were thorough and deconstructed everything, loved the timing, the precision and everything... You won yourself another subscriber, and I'll share this on my social media... this is excellent.

  2139. I originally came here for the absolute slaughtering of flat earth about a year ago, and stayed for all the amazing scientific lessons. Absolutely fantastic channel.

  2145. I'm glad someone is calling this out, watched the last video as well. A while back I was drawn to her channel when an interesting sounding video about physics, I think the speed of light, showed up on my feed. Unfortunately after watching it I began to get recommended these "science is failing" videos and they all just rubbed me the wrong way and I bailed on the channel.
    4
  2146. Professor Dave: just happened upon your page. Thanks so much for covering our favorite reactions and for talking about our lab's synthesis of stenine (the one you discussed was done by Yibin Zeng)!
    4
  2147. Thank you :,) I actually get it now
    4
  2148. That Eric guy needs to be completely shit on by the scientific community for this absolute mess. He had an opportunity to correct someone who is spreading disinformation by just randomly saying meaningless garbage and he tried to reason with him instead. Pathetic. Naive viewers are just going to go away from that episode thinking "Well, he might be wrong about some things, but he's certainly onto something!" When in reality he hasn't got a clue about anything.

  2166. Simulated sun rocks! Futuristic, but doesn't causes me that sensation of a sad emptiness that some music of the genre has. You're a role model of wits and criativity, Dave.

  2170. Hey Professor Dave, I absolutely love your videos!! You've been an incredible help in my studies and definitely a huge lifesaver right before exams. I'm in my third year of upper level college chem and still going strong. Thanks for all of your help!

  2171. Thank you so much for this!!!

  2172. Thanks!

  2173.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Good. I'll do just that then (oh dear, I'll have to learn how to do it... I feel too old for this carp. But I really need this kind of a comprehensive bs-beating to be available for my fellow countrymen, who do not necessarily speak English. Time to man up, I guess). Anyways, do know that your work is appreciated across the borders. Thumbs up, mate.
    4
  2174. I stumbled across your videos a few weeks ago while looking for some information to help with my chemistry class. It's been very informative and I really appreciate the straightforward explanations. Thank you for putting out so much content.
    4
  2175. Great vid as always! I preordered your book on Audible and was excited to see that you're also the narrator - can't wait to have a listen!
    4
  2176. I already loved Professor Dave when my chem teacher showed us his lectures, now I worship him for this.
    4
  2177. Respected Professor, I have subscribed this channel because of the animations shown, explaining concepts in real time, covering lots of subjects making this channel a supplementation of what we read from books. I will let all my friends know about this channel and subscribe. You are really great professor.

  2180. Thanks!

  2181. I think all the persecuted Christians bemoaning the “cultural marxist trying to corrupt our children with their evolution myth” should watch this. Imagine the actual political discourse we would have in a world where regressive politics posing as religion didn’t condemn vast swaths of well meaning humans to wallow in intellectual darkness.
    4
  2182. Hey man I don't know if you're still checking comments for this video, but thank you for sharing this insight on a experimental geophysicist. I'm currently studying Geophysics and looking into topics to research for grad school. Fluid dynamics is something that's definitely on my radar. I highly recommend doing a video on it!
    4
  2183. I've been watching you for a bit over 2 years now and have been a huge fan ever since, as you probably noticed. I grew up in a largely predominant conservative Christian household and you've gotten me out of the strangehold of religion, especially Young Earth Creationism, especially your recently released "defenitive guide to debunking all creationists". My grandparents were extremely conservative Young Earth Creationists and this Christmas, they actually began to start to come to the side of reason and no longer believe in a Young Earth, all thanks to you. Even some sections of my school were descending into Young Earth creation propaganda and I was able to quickly put a stop to that thanks to your videos humilating the Discovery Institute and James Tour. Thank you so much for everything you've done in the realm of debunking, as well as getting I myself through the remaining years of High School. I'm now 18 and going off to College where I will continue to use your tutorials as a guide. I can't wait to see what you have planned in the future!

  2184. Thanks!

  2185. your videos are awesome, keep the good work bro

  2186. For the past year I have been watching your Geology videos and gaining a vast amount of knowledge. I can’t wait to take my first Geology class in Spring and your videos have been a tremendous aid in helping me to prepare for the tough journey to come. I just wanted to say, thank you!

  2188. So good! Subscribed
    4
  2189. Freaking PLEASE, Cameron... Prof. Dave is "extreme" cuz he counters extremists like Flat Earthers and Anti-Vaxxers. Countering extremists doesn't make one extreme. Maybe he meant Dave is "extreme" cuz he prefers Mountain Dew.
    4
  2190. Your videos have been so helpful curing my curiosity, thank you! It’s so cool you can do something that helps so many people while also supporting your family.
    4
  2191. If anyone doubts that our educational system is struggling to impart even the most basic of a STEM education on the upcoming generations, the proliferation of flat earthers and other consipiracy goof balls should be a wake up call. I was a liberal arts major, and even I had enough physics courses to understand the concepts Dave uses to debunk their nonsense. Just because you believe something, that doesn't make it true. Just because you don't understand something, that doesn't make it untrue.
    4
  2192.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I'm currently binge watching the whole maths playlist (well, almost, started with the algebra part) and it's kinda mind blowing how often I sit here thinking "ohhhh...this makes perfect sense" with things that just come to mind now with all the knowledge and wisdom I accumulated since I finished school ~20yrs ago because they might not even be explained or mentioned in the video. For me your videos are a major pillar of science communication and education on the whole internet and I'm very much looking forward to revisiting those videos when my kid might struggle with some of the covered topics at school. Thank you VERY MUCH for all the work you put into this channel Dave! You are doing a great job, please keep it up! (I mean, I kinda know you will anyway) PS: Why am I giggling like a 12yr old girl at a boyband concert? The answer is probably found in one of your psychology videos - but I'm pretty sure I already know it😁

  2196. As an actual oncologist who has a decent understanding of tumorigenesis and molecular biology, I’m blown away by the bs put forth in a pseudo scientific manner by the Weinsteins and others like JFK Jr, and the platform they receive thanks to people like Joe Rogan and some others. I am so glad I came across your channel and have now subscribed. Please keep up the good work in helping to separate fact from fiction in order to help educate the general public.

  2197. I'm watching this after hearing you talk about it on Team Skeptic's channel last night. Hopefully we can give it some legs. Great interview too. I've always enjoyed your content.

  2204. Excellent lecture, Prof Dave, Although I feel that it was less a debunking of "Electric Universe" and more a guide to debunking all pseudoscience and the mindset of those who follow, using EU an an example. You hit on the points so well that I have to now watch this repeatedly so I ingrain the questions of talking points like; 'citation, please?', 'where is the phenomenon [today]?', and 'what can/has been made using it?'. This was also a valuable lesson in hypothesis breakdown, asking further questions of the hypothesis before declaring an idea for experiment to prove theory. A side note: this was on of your more 'polite' debunking videoes as less insults were hurled, but you did state that this had an allure of having real science involved, and not the pull-out-of-your-ass-a-paranoid-knee-jerk-reaction-to-actual-science-math-and-learning, that that you usually encounter. Science on, Prof. Dave, We await more [true] education.
    3
  2205. I hope your channel goes much bigger than what it is today, Professor Dave! I've been watching your videos and they are a lot easier to understand that what I was taught in the classroom. I'm happy that I learned something new or relearned something I forgot through your videos. Thanks a lot for your hard work!
    3
  2206. Professor Dave, I love you♄ This stuff kept on confusing me since 3 years and today boom! I'm all clear with concepts đŸ’Ș
    3
  2207. Holy shit, Dave. You are a badass. This took some courage. I feel like most scientists have been silently wishing for someone like you to come along, preferring to ignore the charlatans instead of calling them out to their faces. Reminds me of NDT--I feel like while he is amazing in many ways, he does Carl Sagan's legacy a huge disservice by eagerly scrambling to common ground (e.g., his "three truths" silliness) even when unwarranted. You're the bulldog, a la Huxley, that science needs in this world of disinformation.

  2208. AMAZINGLY EXPLAINED... THIS HELPED A LOT... WILL NEVER FORGET FOR LIFETIME :) THANKS A LOT SIR

  2210. Hi Dave. Lady Moon here. I commented on this video the other day to say I did not think it was accurate. I had a migraine at the time, and now that I'm better I've watched it again and I must apologize (I'm sure you don't really give a damn about one person's opinion but there it is) It is clear I was well-wide of the mark and the video does not say what I thought it was saying. I removed the comment as soon as I realized I'd made a dunce of myself and it is only fitting to now replace it with one which says: 'Well done. Insightful video, Professor'.

  2211. You saves me in my every semester exam

  2213.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Not being mean but their explanations are ridiculous. What's worse is he's an anti-vaxxer too. I really believe that if it is proven that parents are capable of their child's death because of lack of vaccinations, they can be charged with murder. PS: love your vids man. I watched your vids a lot especially when I had a huge trouble in chemistry.

  2214. Your video is so great! Thank you so much!

  2236. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free đŸ‡”đŸ‡ž Thank you for acknowledging this genocide for what it is, too many people refuse to see what is happening in Palestine, and even fewer openly disavow it.

  2237. I can get absolutely lost in the subjects of mycology, ecology, zoology, and botany, and always wanted to pursue a biology degree, but it was just never a practical thing for me- seeing that your channel has massive playlists for all of these subjects is such a fantastic thing to see, and I'm so excited to watch through all of them!

  2241. Larger tip this time to do my regular begging for a video on the Shroud of Turin. Lately, I've seen a larger presence of religious folks trying to say it's proof of Jesus' resurrection cuz no one can explain how it was made (the negative image on the cloth), and something else to do with organic compounds like vanillin and bilirubin. If you have time, I'd love to see a Prof Dave style take down of anyone claimibg this stuff. And if not, that's okay too. I'll just keep dropping a few bucks on your vids asking lol I get it, man. You probably have a huge backlog of content you're trying to make. Either way, you've got me as a fan and grateful learner. Take care, and remember, we are NOT CLUELESS!!! AHHHHH MR. FARINA
    3
  2242. I was just about to delete my comment lol. My previous comment was a poor take. As I continued watching your video it dawned on me that I either forgot or chose not to remember a lot of the madness that he spewed. I was wrong, he deserved every rebuttal and comment that you made.

  2258. I loved how at the end, James approaches Dave to shake his hand. I mean, his arguments consisted of lies, misrepresentation of the scientific literature, alot of shouting, more lies, and repeated attempts to befuddle an already extremely partisan audience, but hey, how magnaminous of him to offer his hand 🙄

  2259. I discovered your channel recently and I feel lucky for that. Thank you very much. Words just can't describe how great your work is nor how much grateful all your followers ( me included) are.

  2265. When you mentioned your band, I immediately paused the vid and checked it out. I'm a big fan of Carpenter Brut, Scandroid, Dance With the Dead, Fury Weekend, Gunship et al, and your stuff stands up right even with any of those acts. Love your sound, well done!

  2266. I am not knowledgeable about chemistry but I have never seen a reputable researcher in any genre behave like Tour. He's not a scientist, he's a psychological case. Too bad his followers don't believe in psychology/psychiatry either.

  2281. You can see a person’s fundamental nature in their eyes, and I believe James’ eyes say two things upon even the most cursory glance: madness and hostility. The way I see him, he’s a vicious, opportunistic, dishonest sociopath, and his eyes and body language betray it. There’s never been a time I’ve seen him on camera and saw anything less than a snake looking for a chance to strike. Once upon a time, in war, I saw the exact same look in the eyes of some of the most brutal of soldiers serving a government of religious and temporal tyranny in the Middle East. They justified any atrocity in the name of righteousness and their god. They had James’ eyes and mannerisms. They had nothing but contempt masked with holiness in their hearts. For his sake, his god best be real and actually forgive him because his character does him no favors in the eyes of his fellow man.

  2283. Great vid to celebrate your 10 years of great vids. As I approach my half century of orbiting the sun, it's good to still be learning and it's nice to be able to do so by hopping on here to access your plethora of fascinating, informative and comprehensible videos - even if some of the science and maths stuff does bake my noodle, especially after a few beers. Your debunks are also thoroughly enjoyable. The Tour saga has been a blast, but the Witsit one is a particular favourite of mine. That defeated laugh and "I'm screwed" look in his eyes when you were spinning your globe was simply delicious. Thank you for all the content, the information, education, entertainment and annihilations. Here's to another 10 years and beyond. đŸ»

  2291. You probably won’t see this comment, but anyways
 I’m a professional artist, but I’ve always wanted to understand science deeper partly out of passion, partly as a tribute to my grandpa who was a space rocket engineer in Soviet Russia. I watch you for many years, you helped me to connect the dots between quantum reality, organic matter, neurons, ideas in our brain, to abstract concepts like time, space and dimensions. It’s not easy for an artist to easily grasp those concepts, and I really love your explanations and the ethics of this channel. I use those concepts at work with my team, to make our projects more substantial (we’re doing animation tv series) and up to date, even if we’re talking about stuff like superpower, time travel, overcoming mental problems, interacting with nature/space or just mindfulness. The more I learned from this channel the more I was like “come on, do you know ALL of the science?.. even crash course have different hosts/teams for different fields, how on earth can you possibly understand and explain everything?..” But now to think that you’re also an artistic and geeky person yourself made head finally explode and my heart skip a beat, come on man that’s just so much for one person, but also so inspiring really 💖😳 sending you some love and support from Russia.

  2293. The victory of capitalism and, in particular, advertising, was to confuse people with the difference between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure is derived through consumption: it is externally triggered but is finite in its duration. Once the pleasure wears off, we need to consume more to retrigger the pleasure. Happiness, on the other hand, comes from a creative process - it is internal and can be self sustaining, so long as we continue with creating and are not distracted by the consumption for pleasure.

  2294. Professor Dave, I’m returning to college after having to take a medical break after being diagnosed with a chronic health condition. I know this video isn’t chemistry related, but it is your latest, and my chemistry exam is tomorrow. Your videos caught me up on almost an entire semester that I had missed while being in the hospital. I was given the option to waive the final for a partial credit, but with your help, I feel confident in my ability to pass. Thank you so much for all you do :) đŸ€

  2295. Prof. Dave, thank you for standing up to liars and dangerous frauds like Dr. Tour and "Dr." Hovind, and their bobble head sycophants. We need people like you to stand up against this madness and stop the spread of bad info and lies.

So those of us who do not know, can meet those who might. I have no idea how anything you say can threaten faith, since faith isn't supposed to be based on a literal understanding. So please never get discouraged and know there is one person with faith who isn't praying for your soul, because it seems healthy and intact.

  2316. And I tell you folks, I'm the smartest chemist there is, and it's all fake news, sad, very sad, and so Jack, a very fine guy, I'm sure he is, one day he comes to me, tears in his eyes, trembling and he tells me, sir, please, can you help us ? You're the only one who can solve this ! And I say you can't do it without me, that's right, a tremendous problem, and I have the most bigly intellect, folks, you know that, and I said no can do Jack, and I have the email to prove it, right there in my pocket, but the nasty scientists, they deleted the email server, very sad. It goes all the way to the Youtube swamp, it's all subscriber fraud, if you count only real subscribers, I'm the winner by a lot. I have so many scientist friends, tremendous guys, and they tell me "can I ask you something", and I say "of course", and they say "why are you the only one making so much sense ?" and it's true folks, but I'm always censored, as you can clearly see, I can't say anything at all.

  2332. Something to add about the room rental: Student union's in UK universities have multiple societies, Islamic societies are very common. To book a room for society activities, student union's typically require that those participating are members of the society, (paid membership to the society + a basic guild of societies membership), especially if they are renting facilities from the student union to do so, instead of the event being hosted at a bar or something. This is usually cheap for students of said university, expensive for former students, and very expensive for those who are not affiliated with the university (upwards of ÂŁ100). So if Subboor has had one of his friends at this university book this room for an Islamic society event, it's clear that there is no way that this could feasibly be a venue for the debate anyway, as there's no way that the university would allow this even if they were aware of it, as it would require that all, if not the majority, of attendees (students) have memberships to the Islamic society. As an example, the live music society at my university requires that at least half of your band members have society memberships if you wish to perform at a society-run event.

  2335. I see a lot of folks pointing to The Safire Project as proof to the validity of The Electric Universe. Here’s why it’s not. It’s literally just a large vacuum chamber used to generate different kinds of plasma discharges. Sometimes they use it to try and replicate patterns found in nature. Other times they look at the patterns they produce and see if they can find similar patterns in nature. That’s it. It’s like blowing up a grenade and saying “see how the shrapnel flew out? See how a small thing released all this energy?”, and then using that as evidence that supernovae are caused by stars full of gunpowder. Besides, The Safire Project wasn’t even designed to prove the Electric Universe, and they don’t claim it does as far as I can tell. They simply say, “To date, the Safire Project has not found any disparities with the EU/ES model” which is not a shock, because it wasn't designed to do that either. It’s not designed to prove anything. They’re not doing tests which would prove or falsify their model, which is what real science would do, and has done countless times with the crazy, unintuitive, predictions made General Relativity. In addition to this, real science has actually been done on many predictions made by various versions of The Electric Universe where it falls flat on its face, whereas General Relativity passes with flying colors. The Safire Project exists solely so that Electric Universe proponents can stand up, wave their hands and say “See, we’re doing science, too.”

  2336. Dave, as a physics teacher, I have to applaud you on your efforts with this video. The method of delivery, the detail of the timeline, and especially your conjectures surrounding the Plank Epoch and the mental exercise you go through to justify the sudden creation of the "singularity"... It's all very well scripted and thought out. Kudos, and thank you, from both myself and all my physics classes past, present and future.

  2340. Another evergreen grad here: Sam Seder's bret weinstein impression makes me ROTFL. Every few years whenever someone lays out the actual timeline of events from 2017 like you and another evergreen grad did, I'm reminded how fucked up what Bret did really was. His antivax ivermectin crap during a pandemic is heinous but not surprising considering his willingness to throw his colleagues, friends and students to n@zi gangs.

  2351. Professor Dave may be kicking himself for "missing out" on a free trip to Antarctica. In my estimation he can rest easy. DaveMcKeegan would have been chosen for the free trip even if Prodessor Dave was in the options because this other Dave is genuinely a better option. He's an actual professional photographer he's a much better "proxy" for all of us just watching with popcorn ready than Professor Dave who is, lets admit it, just snarky and rude to flat earthers.

Is there anything they've built? Is there one appliance that they have anything to do with? Have they even come up with something like the Rotato which peels and slices a potato? Is there one thing any of them have done, except whack off Elon Musk and talk? -- Comedian Tim Dillon on Eric & Brett Weinstein

  2356. Hey, look on the bright side. At least Sabine creates more supporting instances of 'Capitalism is Good' with every clickbait title that pulls in more support than straightforward titles. And thankfully she's got her supply of simps with no content on their channel who mysteriously show up to denigrate criticism of Sabine with derogatory & largely irrelevant remarks that are impossible to completely dispute, because these unpublished 'algorithms' almost always remove replies to these entities, as soon as you state your case in any level of detail.

  2361. Hey professor Dave. I used to believe all kinds of weird stuff as well. I used to believe in crop circles,psychic powers, ancient aliens,law of attraction,photographic memory training, kundalini yoga and chackras and astrology. I lost a lot of time and went through a lot of depression,frustration empty promises believing this stuff. My love for science itself was compromised since I was no longer interested in the 'mundane' findings of science. Mind you, I was one of the top students in my class. I also know professors who believe in quantum mysticism and other weird things. When I read Carl Sagan's book ("The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark") and learned about James Randi, it really helped opened my eyes.My love for science returned and I went back to university and am now completing my engineering degree instead of focusing on having an out of body experience or trying to find the truth about reality through psychedelics/drugs or trying to have super-natural powers through kundalini or focusing on my third-eye chackra or trying to be a billionaire by simply thinking about it(law of attraction). I am grateful to people like you who help people that are lost. Your response to globe busters actually helped a few flat-earthers accept reality once more.

  2373. Something that mathematicians aren't understanding about this phenomenon how he's using flowery metaphors to signal to a specific audience and low key brainwash them. Howard and the people he's speaking to know the language of esoteric philosophy, new age spiritual movements, as well as anti-intellectual/anti-academic conspiracy theories. You can debunk what he's saying about physics if you know enough about physics but you're only doing half the work. In the minds of his audience the persuasive techniques he's using will supersede the power of a strictly rational debunking. He used these flowery metaphors to prime his audience into buying whatever he says next, which is typical a nonsensical statement. However his audience doesn't recognize it as nonsense because they aren't familiar with the language he's using to express it. Yet they will believe him because he has already primed them by speaking in terms with which they resonate. This is a classic brainwashing technique you see in cults, typically espoused by the delusional, pathologically narcissistic leaders. That's isn't to say that Howard is doing this with the intention of fooling people. Cult leaders will perform these brainwashing techniques almost as a symptom of their mental illness. They often truly believe what they are saying, yet the reality and consequences of their actions remain the same whether it's an act or not.

  2381.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Indeed, no one needs to prove Earth isn't flat—it is spheroid, and people have known this for nearly 3000 years, if not more. It is a shocking indictment of modernity that people in the 6th century BC could comprehend such rudimentary knowledge and yet a growing number in the 21st century pander to a delusion because they can't. These low-brow, intellectually challenged, contrary for the sake of antagonism channels are feeding certain mental illnesses all in an attempt to generate income with substandard graphics and allergic commentary towards the reality in which they live. They are wrong; they will always be wrong; privately, many even know they are wrong but continue the charade because they are incapable of accepting that they are wrong, at least not publicly.

It's called blowback and we should NOT repeat these mistakes again. This stupidity was something done by his predecessors. We in the US wouldn't take too kindly of another country installing their person and creating a puppet government so why do some of us JUST not get that it's immoral to do that?

  2391. Hi Dave. I never commented on your videos before. I'm a late in life career changer to medicine. Your videos were definitely a part of what let me get a strong MCAT score this summer (CARS was the weak link, of course). You are known far and wide as a fantastic teacher. Your A&P stuff, along with Crash Course, taught me everything I know about A&P. Anyhoo, I just wanted to say that I feel like if it upsets you or you don't enjoy engaging with conspiracy thinking, you should just leave it. It doesn't behoove an excellent thinker to engage in arguments about facts that have been verified centuries ago, or debate actual arithmetic. If the clicks are profitable, I would say, keep at it, as long as it doesn't drain your energy. It's funny, I think something should be done about conspiracy thinking in general -- it is costing lives these days -- but it's tricky. I would say, if you could successfully communicate with someone, there would be a purpose, but if it bothers you that people on the interweb are wrong about something, you're just going to be unhappy. Well, thanks for trying at least. And thanks for the MCAT help. You must know that there are countless students who have found success in their courses and have gotten into schools because of you.

  2397. Professor Dave, I first found you when I was struggling in ap bio, and you single-handedly helped me pass. Then you kept going and making more tutorials and it felt like every time I had a question, I could just go to your Chanel and you would have an in depth explanation for me. Nowadays I also enjoy all of your debunk and debate videos along with your science tutorials. Thank you so much professor Dave, I hope your next 10 years are even more successful.

  2398. Congratulations! One million subscribers! You totally earned it. Thanks for all you do. I first noticed your channel because of the flat earth debunks but when I saw you had playlists about chem, physics, microbio, psychobiology, etc it was like, wow, a channel about all my favorite things!

  2402. Thank you for being a shining light of reason in these increasingly dark times. Sabine may not intend to give legitimacy to conspiracy theorists, but it is 100% what she is doing. It's dangerous and she needs to stop being so goddamned naive.

  2407. Very nice music Dave! Unfortunately I'm only on your side of the planet only 2 weeks per year, and that is in the Nevada desert in Aug, so it's hard to catch a gig. Would you mind if I added your album to our camps playlist (non-commercial use) for house music? Will certainly give attribution. BTW, while I'm out in the desert I will have the opportunity to do some observing through a 9' tall 20" primary open frame newtonian. Hoping to see Saturn, Jupiter, and possibly Neptune...

  2409. Somebody missed the FACT that Qantas airlines has recently (since 2021) had flights from Buenos Aires to Darwin Aus nonstop, OVER ANTARCTICA, it was over 9000 miles and took 27hrs at an average of about 350mph

  2412. I should have sent this little thank you in my comment below, but I wanted to add that I hate when people criticize you for your tone or your language. As you rightly say, people like this guy don’t deserve to be shown any respect.

  2413. Hi Dave, your contribution at the end was the most concise and insightful explanation of the political fissures driving our countries apart. Im in UK and we are not far behind USA. Thanks bud and keep up the good work.

  2414. I gotta agree with all the comments below stating that this video is great and that your channel is great
    3
  2415. Despite all the criticism you got for this, Dave, you're actually spot on about most things in the video. This is not the right time to release videos with anti-science rhetoric or even just thumbnails

  2416. Love this lesson.

  2417. this guy deserves 10 million subscribers

  2418. I love your contents, can I get a comment heart?

  2419. The guy who decides ahead of time that life could never develop by purely naturalistic processes is really the least qualified person imaginable to comment on a field investigating how that phenomena happened. This explains both Tour’s refusal to engage Dave on the scientific literature as well as his evident anger over being asked to do so. Anger is nearly always downstream from fear, and it seems painfully clear at this point that Tour is afraid that the special role he’s reserved for his god may not be needed after all. And so he’s pissed, not only at being confronted by this paradigm altering possibility, but also by the fact that his very efforts to defend against it have exposed him as ignorant, dishonest, and inept. Not a good look.

  2421. I always considered myself a musician by heart and soul. But my intellect drew me into math and science. In my opinion, mathematics is intimately connected to music. This is beyond the technical aspect of sine waves and pitch and tamber. But, just the beauty, symmetry and the intellectual aspects. Well done, Dave. This rounds out your personality. I am off to subscribe and check out your other channel. We had a Mathematics professor here do an entire PBS series on the mathematics of music.

  2425. Thank you soooo much for creating free content for medical students. Many students like me can not afford even low membership fees of websites that have been designed for medical students and your channel is one of the most precious resources for usâ™„â™„â™„đŸ™

  2426. Professor Dave thank you for all the content you have made. I am a high school student from south east asia (probably not where most of your viewers come from ) who was never really interested in academics but now I am very interested in learning in general. But I especially thank you for THIS content! I have two teachers in social science who are advocates of creationism and what not, they twist science into something that agrees with their religion and my classmates who are bright and interested to science unfortunately gets sucked into their false science like creationism and what not. But because of your videos I have started to do more research on evolution and watching your debunking creationism videos also gave me some talking points over the bullshit that my teachers in social science spew and I have managed to convince some students that evolution is indeed real and that there is empirical data for it and creationism is dumb. My social science teachers were obviously not impressed and they are saying that I was blasphemous(?) and indoctrinating their students, they said that if I was so smart and confident about evolution that I would go against a teacher I should make a research paper then they'll believe me but I highly doubt it. After they found out that I have been "indoctrinating" their students, I notice that the grades they gave me has become much lower than before. Please continue to make this kind of content Prof.Dave! And I apologize for my english if there is something wrong with it.

  2428. Flat earthers implore others to do research, while simultaneously asking "where is the proof of the globe?" Even if we defer to the unreasonable "rules" of flat earthers and summarily disregard the thousands of photographs of the planet showing it is irrefutably round, we still have the fact that the heliocentric globe model is the only answer anybody in human history thus far has come up with that conforms to known laws of physics and matches every observation we can make from the ground with pinpoint accuracy, including (but not limited to): location and timing of sunrises anywhere in the world on any day, location and timing of sunsets anywhere in the world on any day, timing and duration of seasons, varying of climate with location on the planet, shape and angular orientation of solar analemmas at any time of day from any location on the planet, 24-hour sunlight in the arctic circle on or about the June solstice, 24-hour sunlight in the Antarctic circle on or about the December solstice, timing and duration of eclipses as seem from all parts of the planet, timing and magnitude of equinox sun angles from anywhere on the planet, Mercury solar transits (one is coming in November 2019 - don't miss it!), Venus solar transits, retrograde motion of Mars, varying of the moon's apparent rotation with latitude, changing of visible stars with latitude, changing of visible stars with seasons -- shall I continue? Aside from maybe the solar transits, these are examples of naked eye observations that anybody can do themselves. Not only that, but these observations are impossible to coherently account for in the errant nonsense of flat earth. Keep in mind, any time you think that flat earth can kinda-sorta account for one observation, you need to simultaneously account for all other observations in all situations, and this is utterly impossible because flat earth is nothing but shallow denialist memes, pathological ignorance, and Youtube foolishness. Heck, they can't even satisfactorily explain sunsets as a standalone phenomenon, let alone as part of a cohesive overall model that takes everything else into account as well. I know it must hurt these fools when they realize it, but flat earth is a complete joke of a cult that will never go anywhere beyond the seedy underbelly of Youtube and a few Facebook echo-chamber pages. If you choose to hitch your trailer to that sad-sack train, that is your prerogative, but I hope you don't end up regretting wasting your life and sacrificing your personal relationships at the altar of infantile, trivially debunkable gibberish.

  2439.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  sorry man, I miss comment on this one, was trying to reply to someone else, but it went as a stand alone comment. Would have deleted it, but wanted to let you know that my comment is not about your explanation. Again sorry for the confusion and thanks for being active and engaged on the topic. It's important to somehow fight all the missinformation that currently exist in the world and that is causing people to think on alternate realities like.

  2446. Professor Dave, I have been a fan of yours for quite a while. Before, I recently retired I used some of your videos in my science class. However, I have to disagree with you about the government response to the hurricanes. The FEMA response was excellent. Responding to natural disasters is probably what the government does best. However, for the first time, a candidate for president openly lied about FEMA making claims as ridiculous as Rep. Taylor Green's manufactured hurricanes. FEMA workers had to flee for their lives when the NC national guard informed them trucks of armed civilians were hunting them. There is plenty about which to criticize the government, but this isn't one of them.
    3
  2447. Thank you for making this more clear.
    3
  2448.  @ProfessorDaveExplains Yes, of course, i understand that point. I was not arguing about that, but about how you said it in the beginning of the video. Ok, maybe i've misinterpreted something or maybe i'm being too pedantic. I want to make it clear, i agree with the message of the video, and only had one point to raise in this comment. Sorry if i sounded cranky.

  2459. @ you know what I immediately started to watch your analysis video after this. I absolutely take this back. Clearly I had it in my head that you could simply open Google and fact check him but that’s not the case. I am unfamiliar with how debates are usually structured and I am not educated in the field. I do apologise. I just try not to give the content creators I know and love the benefit of the doubt? Otherwise I won’t learn the other side. I appreciate the reply regardless

  2464. Thank you so much for this video. As a chem. professor, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work.
    3
  2465. One thing you must learn and understand, if you plan on introducing yourself to the science field on social media, you better come prepared with facts..If you fail to do so and Dave senses any levels of disrespect in regards to Science as a whole, He will subsequently ridicule you, mock you, embarrass you, absolutely destroy you, then proceed to spit you back out!! and yes we will all be here to laugh at you like hyenas in the process! 😅😅😅

  2481.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  “Former physicist” is the key phrase in this video. If we look back at her physics papers, the real kicker is that they are not groundbreaking, “useful”, or original BY HER OWN STANDARDS. She endlessly vomits negativity about science. She offers no original contributions or solutions to the problems she identifies. She is like that coworker who endlessly complains but does nothing to improve the workplace. If the state of science worries her so much, then maybe she should do some actual science instead of making YouTube videos.

  2487. I'm studying Italian, and you have helped me so much. After this, I may start with your science lectures. Some 'teachers' know their subject, but have no idea how to teach. You, on the other hand, know your subject totally, and have a natural ability to teach. Why? Because you not only love your subject, but you really want your students to learn! Grazie mille!

  2489. Dave this video's amazing but so, so frustrating. Why the hell couldn't my actual lecture material be as simple to understand as your explanation! Your explanation of chemical shift was so much more succinct than my org chem lecturer it makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs

  2504. About 3 years ago, Terrence Howard tried to get the FPV community to build his stupid flying shape. He called it the "Lynchpin". He was on a stream with Joshua Bardwell (which has since been deleted by Bardwell) and his insane ramblings were just starting to manifest. He wanted the "lynchpins" to be able to connect in the air and form larger functional objects; basically he watched Transformers while super stoned and thought he was a genius. He put up a prize of 50k to anyone that could make his flying "lynchpin"; not a swarm of them connecting, just a single one to start and show the concept. There were a few people that were crazy enough to try and build it and surprisingly a few actually succeeded. However, after building and flying the "lynchpin" it was shown to fly like absolute trash (which is what everyone in the FPV community was saying from the start). Even worse, Terrence Howard never paid ANYONE for their work. They had completed what he wanted and then he never gave anyone the prize money and just ghosted the community.

  2511. Hi Professor Dave, I just wanted to thank you for saving my bacon today. I am finishing up a semester of general chemistry and our last unit was an intro to organic chem. I missed an entire week of the material (other school obligations) and your content is a life saver!
    2
  2512. Preparedness of individuals for honestly admitting that they are wrong from time to time (even when there's no other way around it) and acceptance that there are things we simply don't know or don't know enough about... that is what's failing these days in my opinion ...

  2513. I enjoy every time on Saturday morning I walk into my living room and my teenage son has the same Professor Dave video playing on his phone as I have on mine.

  2514. People cheering him are only there to watch sports. They aren't committed to rigorous thought or even good faith intellectual debate. this Tour guy is nothing but an apologist with the ability to pronounce words normally too large for the typical church going Christian, with letters next to his name attained from universities that specialize in peddling accepting money and turning out brainwashed apologists wrapped in prettier names, who's committed to putting on suits because it gains him +2 in the laychristian's mind of legitimizing him, who speaks like a pastor during debates as this is only what christians know and react to. If they can feel as tho this guy is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN! about what he's saying, they'll equate it to "the spirit speaking through him" to "strike down" the "evil spirits attempting to blaspheme" god. its all a dog and pony show, and act, an opportunity for this narcissist to gain clout by creating clickbait soundbites and thumbnails to peddle the propaganda so deeply ingrained and implanted in his mind that he's most likely been conditioned from birth by his very religious parents. Source: a deconverted Christian with a degree from one of those university.

  2516. Interesting how Joe talked to/tolerated Terrence like one would a 4 year old, or a drunk person, UNTIL, Terrence talked about the Vax. Then suddenly he became engaged. So, I ignore you until your level of crazy/ignorance decreases to mine, then we can talk. Not realizing we both are both crazy and neither of us should be talking.

  2526. Just so you know, when you said this series didn’t get a lot of views on your other vid of the two apologists who “debunked” you, I went looking for this series the next day and couldn’t find it without searching the exact title, and then even after I started watching it and looked for next episodes it was really hard to find, and I had to actually go through my history
 so you may wanna relabel in an easily identifiable playlist or re-upload/rename completely in one video cuz the YT algorithm def ain’t making it easy to find so something’s up
 just a tip cuz that seriously may be why it’s not getting the interaction it deserves. Great series too!!

  2534. I’ve never commented on a YouTube video, but I thought this would be appropriate. I teach writing at a community college and will likely use your work next semester, so it’s only right to pay for your work. If we want nice things we have to pay for them. So here’s some pennies for your thoughts, so to speak. Keep up the good work.

  2543. Thank you for doing this important work
    2
  2544. Hey man, I want to thank you for your gift of knowledge that you provide the world. I recently have stopped believing in God and your videos help me to finally catch up with the world of science. I can finally listen to people talk about evolution and believe what I’m hearing. One thing I wanted to ask your opinion on is a new pharmaceutical in development called Telomir-1. The company that makes it claims that it can reduce/reverse aging in certain animals, eventually to be used for humans. I think it’d be a cool topic for a video. Have a good day
    2
  2545. I agreed with way more in this video than I thought I would, and in fact I think it has set my a bit more securely as to what I believe in. Science is meant to describe the physical world and should not be misconstrued, and religion is a separate, complementary body which is meant to describe your personalized human experience. Honestly, thank you, there have been a lot of things pressuring me to explain what I believe (and maybe that’s part of how snake oil salesmen pull in those who do already believe in the supernatural but not in the way it benefits them) but this kinda whipped my mind into shape to not let my beliefs trespass on how I interpret science.
    2
  2546. So it started out with me getting a chuckle out of you smacking around flat/young earth, and now it's ending up with me trying to re-learn Italian. I guess I'm getting a lot of bang for my buck with this subscription.
    2
  2547. it’s 💯 true. Prof Dave is an infinite times better than my prof such that my prof will never reach prof dave’s level of teaching.
    2
  2548. EU pushers (not followers) are a little more articulate than flat earthers. I laughed at flat earthers but found myself intrigued with the EU at some point. As time went on, I had my suspicions, but didn't totally dismiss it. Dave's video was the final nail in the coffin for my EU leanings, and I don't think I'm alone. These videos aren't for naught.

  2549. I honestly love how fun the intro and outro of Professor Dave's videos are, and then the content itself is so densely packed yet so clearly and simply explained. Still difficult to grasp all the content in one play through, but you make these otherwise intimidating and dense topics feel a little easier and well... less intimidating! You make a non-science student like myself feel like I can succeed. Sincerely, a person with 0 science knowledge trying to get through the Kaplan books on her own.

  2555. I've been (helplessly) studying this for a few weeks using lectures and the dumb ass expensive online software we are required to have. But now I may ACTUALLY have a chance at my exam tomorrow morning. Thanks Dave! Wish I had discovered your channel about 3 months ago...
    2
  2556. Thanks! I would not want to debate you, Professor Dave. You intellectually smack silly people down like they owe you money.

  2559. I just watched an old TED talk by moral philosopher James Flynn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vpqilhW9uI which to me seems to possibly offer some insight into the cognitive behavior of some FE believers. The "FE leaders" are demonstrably just con men pushing their own agenda for their own self aggrandizement and monetary motives, but the question remains as to why anyone believes in what those leaders say. Based upon YouTube comments clearly some "believers" are just sad folks who need a concept on hand (the mythical "they") that can be blamed for their current lot in life, some are just juveniles with a scatological argumentative style, but some seeming truly believe. The observed characteristic that James Flynn discusses regarding abstract thought could have some connection to the answer to the "why" question, as some of his examples could be translated into flat earth belief justifications quite readily. I just thought you might find this interesting, Dave. Thank you for your promotion of critical thinking and your body of educational videos.

  2560. Guys, just a reminder. Please go back to all the previous videos and smash the like button.

  2561. I forgot to send in a video, but you seriously saved me in junior year of high school. I got Covid bad and ended up missing over a third of the school year. It was the worst I had ever felt physically and mentally (placing me in the adolescent psych ward for over a week at one point) but once I was at the level that I could go back to working on class work, your videos on anatomy and physiology were a godsend. and your videos on physics were a great help. I somehow managed to maintain straight A's the whole year, and I can not express enough how thankful for your videos I was that year. I love your content and can't wait for more! best of luck, and cheers to another 10 years
    2
  2562. Thanks, Dave! Always very clearly explained!
    2
  2563. I went with Fry, Farnsworth, Turonga, Rodriguez, Wong, Conrad, and Zoidberg.

  2564. As a queer person, I've noticed the anti-intellectualism of trans issues, especially from the right. The issue of "should gender affirming care be available" has become so politicized and theres so much misinformation and "taking sides" out there that its hard to have a rational conversation with the other side, especially online. I can show people study after study that trans people are happier after they transition. I can show people surveys that demonstrate that gender affirming surgery has a lower regret rate than almost any other surgery, including life saving, necessary surgeries. I can show them the numbers on trans kids committing suicides to argue why kids should at least be allowed to socially transition, even if you dont support them getting hormones/surgery until theyre 18. But people always end up going back to "its unnatural! My pastor told me its bad! Youre just a pervert!"
    2
  2565. Best science communicator I've found, no matter what you explain I will understand! Honestly I'm learning my undergraduate calculus course from you, your videos are 5 minutes vs my 2 hour lectures covering the same concept
    2
  2566. You are the best... You've helped me soo much. I just wanna say thank you..
    2
  2567. Watched another video of Professor Dave debunking Tour. I stand corrected on the earlier 'ad hominem' comment I wrote. This guy deserves everything he got lol. My apologies
    2
  2568. ty i used to be a flat earther because of religion and because of a bad education, you are doing a service to the world
    2
  2569. thank you this easily made sense more than my notes my prof gave! I especially liked how quick and short this video was, straight to the point !
    2
  2570. Hello Professor Dave! I just wanted to tell you that next week I will begin my carreer on Biotecnhologic, pharmacologic Chemist (QuĂ­mico FarmacolĂłgico BiotecnĂłlogo)! Thank you, it was because of you that I finally got the courage to study Chemistry again. And I love it.
    2
  2571.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Well thats on me bigtime. Did not even check you out further then this video on those flat earther idiots.... I do apologise for jumping you like this. I will sit here in shame for about one hour.
    2
  2572. Shalom Shalom, I'm a flat earth Man, I just watched your Response to globe busters. Lol. You owned that flat earth parrot .He was not prepared. I'd like a chance to get into it with you. But like planned questions, lol so that way I can get relevant info instead of Like globe busters who just repeats with out investigation. And don't know nothing cept the standard FE speech. I'm Anthony. Looking forward to hearing from you
    2
  2573. Sold! Now I'll go back to watching the video. Edit: ordered the paperback; I think it will look nice on the bookshelf after I read it. Looking forward to getting it after the 3/30 release date!

  2578. Worth pointing out that the high cost of education itself is the consequence of policies and decisions made by people who by and large support the agenda of reducing the impact of education on the American population. They created the problem that they then used to justify the attitude they wanted from the start.
    2
  2579. "Makes something so ridiculous so appealing to so many people." 1. Most people are laypeople. They are not well informed about the reality of any particular field. 2. Most people do not trust existing institutions, often because of their real untrustworthy behavior. This becomes a generalized mistrust in institutions because they lack the political and economic understanding to isolate the causes of untrustworthy behavior. 3. A priori, there's no ability to discern credible from non-credible information without at least some specialized knowledge for context purposes, but mainstream information, such as that produced but mainstream scientific institutions, may be considered untrustworthy because it came from those institutions, which may be untrustworthy. Alternatives to the mainstream are seen as potentially trustworthy because they frame themselves as such. This inflates the credentials of any and all heterodox ideas. 4. Easy solutions that provide comfortable answers to societal questions at seemingly low cost are often given the benefit of the doubt if they sound plausible, even if they're considered nonsensical by mainstream scientific institutions. Laypeople with no scientific training cannot discern whether an idea is a real heterodox theory or outdated or quack nonsense. The idea that becomes the next plate tectonics, the next electric universe, the next NeoLamarckism, and the next intelligent design all seem equally likely and equally nonmainstream to them. They cannot tell if some non-mainstream idea has a chance of being true, once had such a chance, or never had a chance, and will usually overestimate any heterodox idea that conforms to their sense of reality's validity as being most likely true. Especially if it claims to provide cheap medical benefits. 5. Because from the perspective of a layperson with no scientific training, mainstream scientific institutions seem no more valid than any other potentially flawed information source with its own set of agendas, and any claims they make such as practicing the sole way of knowing to make technological progress possible, or the only way of knowing with a consistent model of reality and accurate predictive capability, are just as valid as the claims of a prosletizing religion to them. 6. Laypeople use an empirical model for understanding science, not a rational one. They think more about correlation than underlying causation and they're definitely not going to do any math even if they are handed the numbers. They are constantly told the extraordinary discoveries of "science" that seem to have no real consistent underlying method to their madness, either because they don't know the math to explain it, or because it's actually sensationalism, clickbait, or media reporting nonsense studies resulting from the incentives for researchers to overpublish. The intuitive response is to just assume that all hypotheses are equiprobable and you shouldn't have steep prior probabilities against certain hypotheses being true. OR alternatively, that "science" doesn't know what the fuck it's talking about. Either one leads them to be highly willing to believe very weak P-hacked or worse evidence for extraordinary claims, without even demanding proof, and makes them resistant to scientifically-minded people trying to debunk such claims. Afterall, if thinking about chocolate makes you lose AND gain weight according to "science," why can't telling water you love it make it energized into a hexagonal structure? 7. Most people are not taught to think critically. Or are taught NOT to think critically. Thus, generalized trust or distrust of not just the source but the type of source often replace any rational reason to believe a claim.

  2580. I just wanted to thank you for helping me with topics like this! I've been studying all weekend for my ACS final and your videos have saved my hide. :)
    2
  2581. glad you pointed out Simulated Sun... so good! love your music!
    2
  2582. Hey @ProfessorDaveExplains. Would you care to debate the points you made in your pinned comment with a fellow scientist?
    2
  2583. Thanks!
    2
  2584. Thanks!
    2
  2585. thanks, this is unexpectedly helpful. studying from a textbook and then watching this video made it way easier for me to understand. hope u make more videos like this again. thank you.
    2
  2586. I checked out the music on Simulated Sun, and I loved it! Any fans of electronic music should check that out. Even more awesome found his music on spotify now I can listen to it in my playlists :D best song in my opinion is zero-point energy :/ it's gonna be on repeat a while... Best song for playing Sins of a Solar Empire.
    2
  2587. Thank again for this very clear video
    2
  2588.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I will take your word over his as I followed you for a few years and there was no obvious flaw in your reasoning. Having said that, I did not find flaw Dr. Campbell's reasoning either. I do know my cousin who could not reason herself out of a wet paper bag follows him. Most certainly I understand my conclusion is flawed with trusting your reasoning over Campbell's but I is unpractical to start to corroborate everything I find reasonable. Thank you for replying.
    2
  2589. Thanks! I'd also like to know how we can prevent another event like Hypatia at Alexandria. I'd like to believe that we're too big and far to crash down and lose our gained knowledge, but I'm not too sure.
    2
  2590. thanks dave ! you made it easier than my grammar Book of italian.
    2
  2591. Here’s to another 10 years! Just bought some merch btw, love the conspiracy penguin shirt 😅😅
    2
  2592. I got referred to your video debunking the electric universe by PBS SpaceTime yesterday, and since then I've already watched the entire immunology and infectious diseases playlists and subscribed to the channel and on Patreon. I'll definitely be watching a lot more of your content in the future, too, since you have a real clear way of explaining things and all of the topics are incredibly interesting. I might even give the Economics playlist a go, even though it's normally not a subject that interests me, just because I enjoy your method of explanation. In any case, great job all around on the content!
    2
  2593. Being a fan since 2016 and having you help me get a Master's degree and start a new career in Astronomy, I loved seeing the history of the channel. As I mentioned before, I enjoy all your science education videos much more than the debunking videos, but now better understand why you do it and the importance of it in today's mixed up world where data, facts, and the real truth are so undervalued. Since all the power junkies and scammers are now using YouTube and other social media platforms to suck people into their alternate realities to gain power and make money, we need people like you to fight fire with fire and help save humanity from the continued weaponization of its own technology one video at a time! Just another example of the power junkies turning knowledge and technology meant to help humanity into weapons of control and potential mass destruction. I especially loved your closing message and want to re-watch the astronomy series when I have time after I get my current paper on exoplanet formation past peer review. It was that type of thinking that inspired me to learn more on how the universe really works and how we made the many discoveries to know all that. I've been a Patreon supporter for years and I'm currently watching your Ancient History and Archeology series so keep up the good work!
    2
  2594.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  interesting! I didn’t know that confidently. Thanks for teaching me
    2
  2595. I'm working through your course right now Dave, and I wanted to let you know that this is such a beautifully constructed course. It blends a perfect balance between being detailed, but not overly complex, and maintains a phenomenal sense of flow. You explain things in such a way that it captures the true essence of the concept, yet also leaves room to explore other pieces of it in more detail. I always leave a chapter feeling like I learned something really cool, and I feel like I'm growing after each video. This series really means a lot to me, and I'm very happy to have found it!
    2
  2596.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  lol, this is the internet. i need to blow off steam sometimes. btw, i love this series. I will for sure be showing these to the dumbasses i work with.
    2
  2597. Thanks!
    2
  2598. YouTube, you suck ass. How have I not been introduced to this channel until now? Ugh. Anywho. Prof. Dave, you are great. In just moments, you demonstrate how the physics completely disagrees with their interpretation of the physical world. As an astronomer, I give you two thumbs up!
    2
  2599. Thanks Professor Dave! I'm embarrassed to say that I've wasted some of my life listening to Eric. Done!
    2
  2600. The way you dismantle the nonsense these idiots spew is perfection. Thank you so much for what you do. The part where your gibberish accidentally made more sense than TH sent me to the floor.
    2
  2601. Thanks!
    2
  2602.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Haha, I admit that was a bit confusing. I'm talking to the Internet. I've been watching Sabine since a long time ago, when she was alone doing her own editing, singing, dancing, with her husband playing guitar sometimes. That's because I am interested in quantum mechanics and computing and science news in general, so this has been one of my favorite channels for some time for learning about quantum physics and some more. With the occasional joke or rant that made it entertaining. Then it became a business. Which means, she hired a team, got sponsors and started Mr. Beast style as YT recommends in order to succeed in this business. Which also means, that other people make you say shit even if you don't want, because they want to get paid. And they use all the tricks and gimmicks, like stock footage and memes every couple of seconds like every other channel. Also carefully pick and test thumbnails. I've seen her upload a new video that didn't watch and a few hours later the same video with a new more provocative thumbnail. Add the hundreds of AI videos (I mean about science) made the same style filled with plagiarism and it makes science look like a joke. This is so stupid, that I don't care about the content anymore. Yeah, she attracts science deniers and I have unsubscribed and stopped supporting months ago. I'm sure that if I feel this way, there are a lot of people who feel the same way too.
    2
  2603. Thanks!
    2
  2604. You are truly inspiring. My wish- is to see your wish come true. You certainly put it in a lot of work and passion for it.

  2606. Just discovered your very intelligent and thoughtful channel on You Tube . Thank you for energising my cerebral cortex !! Michael

  2607. If anyone watching this does not become a Patrion then you should. Helping Dave out when he has to suffer listening to these fools and respond is the least we can do for his hard slog. Keep at them Dave
    2
  2608. Thanks!
    2
  2609. @ProfessorDaveExplains  I understand. I was not trying to say they weren't valid. I was unaware of the limiting factors that made the debate format difficult until after your follow up video. I have watched that and it explained all the questions I had. I am appreciative of that. At the time of typing that comment, I had just finished watching the video and didn't realize you addressed a lot of those questions. I promise my comment was meant to be purely constructive.

  2610. Prof Dave, a hero of education

  2615. Good very good
    2
  2616.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Oh, and I knew I was forgetting something.... Thank you so much. You are very much appreciated. Im sure you hear that a lot but like, seriously.
    2
  2617. Been watching Professor Dave since Honors chemistry my sophomore year of high school, all the way through AP chem, AP bio, Chem I and II in college, and now in Organic Chem I. Hands down the best chemistry channel! I want to teach high school chem and bio after I graduate and I'll definitely be recommending these to my students!
    2
  2618. 18:01 Nope, America sure isn’t a meritocracy! But the daily wire says it is all the time and that people that criticize our system are dumb lazy hippie [insert bigoted dog-whistle here]s, soooo

  2619.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I noticed you didn’t affirm or deny that I am a muppet. I’ll take that as a maybe 😂 But thanks for the amazing content Dave. You’ve built an absolutely stellar portfolio and you’re a great communicator. I might have to ask you to delete the David Weiss annihilation as my sides have split so many times and I’m out of thread 😂

  2621. Hi Dave ! Your channel helped me a lot initiating myself in Origin of Life research (with the JT debates) ... I sent you my short story with love ~ Mohamed Taqi (from Morocco). Thanks

  2622. Dave you are actually my hero
    2
  2623. Thank you for this well-made and fascinating video.
    2
  2624.  @ProfessorDaveExplains   @ProfessorDaveExplains  ahh, that makes sense (not a biologist, so a lot of stuff i know regarding Ool is just from watching you lol) thats actually even more bullshit that he wanted you to show the proof in a way that was impossible. Honestly didnt think you would comment. I just want to say keep up the good work. I couldve never survived a debate like that. The audience made my blood boil. Im surrounded by creationist and i crack under pressure trying to explain to them. Don't let anyone tell you your too rude either. If theres one thing i know, its that they use open-mindedness and passiveness against you any chance they get.
    2
  2625. Great video!

  2626. Thanks!

  2627. ı have physics exam this friday and you are saving me thank u!!!!!!!!

  2628. My family goes to the same church James Tour goes to. One Christmas they showcased a slide show about his Creationism debates and it featured some clips from your channel. It felt weird and out of place to do something like that in the middle of a Christmas service. It had the exact opposite effect than they had intended lol. Thanks for cementing my departure from that cult.

  2632.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I might not have been clear lol. Of course superheroes are unscientific. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of 'what if' type thing. I constantly try to explain why The Flash is one of, if not the most powerful superheroes out there. Sure there are other videos doing breakdowns of all sorts of things, but I just love how you took down the flat earthers. It was simple. It was funny. It was amazing. Best thing I've seen in a long time. I went and watched more of your videos in different categories and loved every single one of them. I can understand why you wouldn't necessarily want to do videos about superheros seeing as how all of your other as based solely within reality. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I've enjoyed them. I really appreciate you replying to my previous comment. That's class act right there!
    2
  2633. Thanks!
    2
  2634. Respect for how passionate you are.
    2
  2635. ​ @ProfessorDaveExplains  I'm willing to bet Ali was being sarcastic. I'm sure you've met physicists that claim physics is the only 'real' science. When we both know they only turned to physics when they couldn't make it through organic chemistry.
    2
  2636. Danke!
    2
  2637. ​ @ProfessorDaveExplains Your withering put downs are worth scrolling through the comments alone , fucking hilarious 😂😂 If you do get over to the UK to debate Subboor the beers are on me .

  2643. I feel so bad for leaving something out in my last comment. I thought I thanked you on there. I did not. Thank you for all of your amazing help. I appreciate it and I know all of us watching appreciate you, not just your content. It sucks that while studying, you sometimes zone out. You forget friends and family some times. I know I do, this is something I have to work on. Thank you again for all of your help. A million thanks to you, my good sir.
    2
  2644. @ProfessorDaveExplains All good - tbh I didn't realise the cohort you were pitching this to. I came to your site out of your flat earth smack down against Weiss, which I enjoyed and found hilarious! I just didn't want you to over-simplify this issue, but I didn't appreciate your intended audience
    2
  2645. Another very handy explanation. Will make sure to donate to your Patreon today.
    2
  2646. The nice thing about being a new subscriber is that these "Upcoming" videos are already available.

  2650. just found this channel recently and im planning to binge watch anatomy and biology topics
    2
  2651. Thank you so much for this video!!! you're helping me understand trig identities much better than my teacher.
    2
  2652.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I was watching you wide eyed while this guy was screaming at you. In your shoes, I probably would have walked over giving him a girly slap into the face, consequences be damned. Well not really. But that's what I would have loved to see while you were grinning at that idiot. I'm sitting here in front of my screen minutes after wasting 2hrs watching a YT video about something I don't really care much for (origin of life - that's really not a core interest of mine) and I am so angry that I still feel the adrenaline steaming out of my ears. And that's after wasting hours watching vids about flat-earthers. Well I gotta thank you, you're really funny. But still, this is painful. I admire your dedication!
    2
  2653. you are an amazing teacher! I'm taking organic chem in 12th grade rn.. thank you so much
    2
  2654. I'm going to suggest these vids to my school. They deserve more attention and are easy to understand. From basic arithmatic to complex sciences
    2
  2655. ​ @ProfessorDaveExplains  thank you for the response :) I'm a big fan of your teaching method btw. God bless you more!

  2675. Hello from the Czech republic, one of the most atheist countries in Europe, the home of the defenestration and Jan Hus.
    2
  2676. Thanks Professor Dave. Please keep up the good work.
    2
  2677. Prof. Dave is a true genius! Seriously! He is a renesans man if I ever knew one. A polymath of the sort like they don't make them any more.
    2
  2678. Thank you for diving into the stupid for us, again.
    2
  2679. Good stuff professor--it isn't as detailed as I need to know (TF II, etc) but it cleared up the idea. When you get slammed with details, it can be overwhelming and easy to forget to look at the big picture first and then the details...Your video is great and I am now a sub...You are my tutor for Biochemie II :D
    2
  2680. @ProfessorDaveExplains  Dave, I've fucked up and somehow commented on the wrong video. What an idiot sorry mate your videos are wall to wall brilliance and can't believe the only back and forth I'll probably ever have with you is you giving me a spray because I shit the bed in the wrong comment section somehow. I thought it was odd what you were saying and then I realised out of the two of us there's a fair chance I'm the one who's the peanut here. My bad mate, love the videos, I'm responsible for at least 300 views on this bad boy alone so keep up the good work!

  2681. Ohmygod thank you so much for these videos i might actually pass this subject this sem 💛 i want to cry i finally got it

  2682. Prof Dave, i have a video request. Lately, ive seen a lot of folks defending the Shroud of Turin as the burial cloth of Jesus, citing the presence or lack of organic compounds like vanillin, bilirubin, and then the inage of the man on the shroud wasn't painted (no paint, no brush strokes), so if it was a middle ages forgery, how was the image produced, and so on. Maybe find a popular vid defending the Shroud as an authentic 1st century relic, with apolgetics for the STRP findings and then explain why they're mistaken/lying. If your schedule permits it, I'd love to see whether or not we are "AHHHH CLUELESS" when it comes to the origin of the Shroud of Turin. And if you're busy with other projects, that's okay too. Thanks!

  2686.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  oh and thanks so much for replying to me! You do a great job of refuting this kind of poison, we need so many more. Keep it up!
    2
  2687. Those is the clearest explanation of piacere I've ever seen, thank you!
    2
  2688. Sir you are the reason why i understand orgo
    2
  2689. Thanks!
    2
  2690. I always recommend your videos to my students. <3
    2
  2691. Thanks!

  2692. "Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal" needs to get exposed. He preys on his very gullible followers. Even takes Skinwalker Ranch seriously but pretends to be scientific.

  2693. These two look like someone found and magically animated Rush Limbaugh’s anal polyps.

  2694. Dave sir you r great!
    2
  2695. WHAT THE FUCK!? First this guy bails me out of organic chemistry with an A, and now he showed up when i was looking for italian lessons. Professor Dave you truly are a specimen!
    2
  2696. Thank you. Now i can pass my General Chemistry Exam which is tomorrow đŸ˜čđŸ˜č
    2
  2697. Bought one of your T's to show my appreciation for your channel. Cheers, Dave.
    2
  2698. Prof Dave: I am currently doing self-study of every math course required for an undergraduate math program and I was having a hell of a time understanding fully how to perform diagonalization! I have read countless textbooks' sections on diagonalization and watched several other videos. I took thorough notes from your mini lecture, followed along with you on the example and am stoked to say I was able to go through the example problem at the end and got everything right. ALSO...nowhere else has anyone mentioned to ALWAYS choose x2=1. That tiny detail helped make everything else click and I agree with you that the process of diagonalization is in fact easy, albeit time-consuming. I cannot thank you enough for this! The way you go through and show every single detail is a TREMENDOUS help! I really appreciate you!
    2
  2699. How am I only just now discovering your channel? Subscribed!
    2
  2700. Literally this is the greatest channel to ever exist. It is saving my o chem grade because I am ACTUALLY LEARNING SOMETHING!
    2
  2701. support patreon. thanks prof Dave
    2
  2702. Valeu!
    2
  2703. It is now my goal to go through this entire channel before September.
    2
  2704. I just passed my first test in grad school because of you (taking advanced physio). Just wanted to say thank you!!
    2
  2705. Thank you for teaching me when my professor won't. I really appreciate it.
    2
  2706. I am so grateful to you!!!! I would be able to complete my MA without you!
    2
  2707. Thanks!

  2709. I'm more interested in the substance than the theatrics, so I want to point out some things that passed by, but weren't adressed. 1) why polysaccharides? Specifically forming the glucose dimer abiotically. Sugar chains form no big role in any of the mainstream OoL scenario's, they're a molecular late comer. Lipids are more fundamental and relevant, but they weren't mentioned in the now infamous blackboard clueless list. If monomeric sugars can be formed by the formose reaction or equivalent, you can develop nucleic acid replication, catalysis, and even translation, before you need to worry about glucose metabolism and linear and branched polysaccharides. 2) this problem of looking at OoL as stripped down modern life seems to apply in general to Tour. Assuming the first life was a cell (rather than a self replicating system in a compartmentalized environment, driven by an external energy gradient), assuming that the first nucleic acids didn't have heterogenous or simply other backbones (like treose or glycerol or whatever) but pure ribose, assuming that all modern amino acids were there and part of translation (rather than expanding a smaller and chemically simpler "alphabet" over time), while at the same time worrying about sequence specific untemplated polymerization of amino acids, which is contradicted by the previous assumption of translation being there from the start (in which case untemplated polymerization is irrelevant). 3) the odds of a random protein sequence having specific function X is not one in twenty to the power of length. Take the example of the enzyme that dimerizes glucose. The first thing that demolishes the p=0.05^L calculation is asking "which one?". There isn't just one sequence that does this. Unless you think every species with this enzyme has an identical copy. They don't. The minimum amount of functional ones isn't 1, it's the amount of known functional variants, which will be easily thousands to millions in this case. And that's besides the unsampled mutants with comparable function. Tour seems to be unaware of the sequence-structure-function relationship of proteins. It's not nearly as specified as he thinks it is. 4) A crucial part missing from Tours argument about half lives of ribozymes is the production rate, he ONLY mentions the degradation rate. It's like arguing you can't fill a bathtub with no drain plug. You can if the tap is open, and the rate of water coming from the tap is slightly higher than the rate at which the drain can take it away. If a piece of RNA that can do self replication exists, in an environment that can hydrolyze it while also having the environment that allows replication (presence of monomers and probably catalytic metal ions), it can persist as long as the production rate by replication is equal or larger than the degradation rate. Say the average lifetime is 8 hours. [edited; for mistakingly writing "half life" there earlier] That means that if this molecule makes a copy of itself in 7 hours 56 minutes for example, on average the amount will rise, slowly but exponentially. And every mutation that increases this speed or accuracy, will have the highest rate and eventually dominates the population. For comparison, replicating a nucleic acid in the order of hundred bases in about 8 hours is pretty slow. Modern life does it in the order of seconds. So we could give the ribozyme in this hypothetical example the leeway of being 20 to 30 thousand times slower and still outliving degradation.

  2710. Thank you for existing. Sal from KA drives me nuts with his off-topic talking.
    2
  2711. Thanks for this! Disgruntled former academics who failed are a dime a dozen.
    2
  2712. Danke!

  2713. Dont listen to them dave, you werent mean or condescending enough 😂
    2
  2714. Best video ever! Seriously so helpful
    2
  2715. I cannot thank you enough for explaining organic chemistry!
    2
  2716. I cannot conceive of a better candidate than Professor Dave. Get this guy to space!
    2
  2717.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I now watched it. Seems like you've answered them but james your still didn't remove all of his origin of life videos like he promised if someone answered a single question out of the 5. Thanks professor Dave, not many scientists care about his pseudoscientific videos and you're the only one I've seen that cares about the truth and debunking his points.
    2
  2718. Professor Dave!!!!! You are really a genius! I've seen many YouTube chanells which are really useless.. But you are the only person who gives the best lecture 👍👌..I love your accent, teaching method and your knowledge!! Thank you very much Sir!!!!👍😊..May your channel get more and more fame and highest views!! ALL THE BEST! Keep rocking 👍
    2
  2719. Thanks!

  2728. Helped so much
    2
  2729. Kent, if you ever read these comments. Please know how much more savvy the world is now to snake oil salesmen like you. Your heyday is done. Every syllable out of your mouth does the work of your opposition for them. Keep talking. I'm so proud of my daughter. She watched this and couldn't stop laughing the whole time you were talking. Your loop talking is comedy gold. Dave, I'm so glad my kids found your channel recently. Keep up the teaching.
    2
  2730. Thank you for the great content!
    2
  2731. Wow! amazing you helped me understand this in 7 min!!
    2
  2732. I'm speechless. You're just excellent
    2
  2733.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Watching you roast religion and flat earth with zero tolerance has now become my favorite hobby. Exquisite
    2
  2734. Professor Dave, your videos have helped me understand many concepts and managed to get me an A on my medical chemistry exam, can't thank you enough for making chemistry much easier to understand.
    2
  2735. Congrats!! For 2M subs❀ prof dave!
    2
  2736.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  also ive really enjoyed your videos and will sub to you on patreon, keep up the good work
    2
  2737. You're an angel sent from above to solve my physics problems😍😍😍🙏🙏
    2
  2738. I hope you can keep doing this Dave. You may not know how to fundamentally change humanity, but what you have done is foster an audience of millions who are willing to learn and to challenge. Many of those will go on to contribute to science communication and advocacy in their own way, myself included. I used to be in the anti-intellectual pipeline. I am living proof that there exists hope that things can change for the better. The chances are, you alone will not change the world. But the movement you start might. It is better to try and fail than to fail to try. You might think the something is impossible, never believe so: try it.
    2
  2739. I think you need to know yourself and your research. But that is at best half the equation. It’s as important, if not more important, to know your audience. The one example in this brief excerpt was the biochemist who was communicating primarily within his research area (if I understood the discussion properly). I find this to be a small subset of the communication needs. More often, you are communicating with people in the same or closely related fields. This is still relatively less demanding, as your audience typically shares a common vocabulary and world-view. Outside of these, there is such a broad range of necessary communications. Other scientists, the media, politicians, students, the general public, just to name a few. All of these are important audiences, demanding different approaches. Then there are even subsets of these, for example, your general public audience could be broadly accepting of your work/field, or they could even be antagonistic towards it. I find many in the scientific arena to shy away from any of the audiences outside of the first paragraph. This is a shame, because quite often the information is critical for a fully-informed representative government, and a reasonably informed electorate (or future electorate). I end with a piece of wisdom that my Ph.D. Advisor left me with: “[i]f you can’t explain your research to a reasonably educated high school graduate (or student), then YOU don’t really understand it.” (J. J. O’Brien). Thanks for the excerpt, it appears to be a podcast well worth hearing.

  2740. Amazing video, amazing channel. Thank you Professor Dave, this is insane how good you can explain! Looking forward to more videos.
    2
  2741. Thanks!
    2
  2742. Thanks!
    2
  2743. You're doing great work Dave! Keep fighting for the truth and against the lies of the current culture War
    2
  2744. One of your most entertaining videos yet😂
    2
  2745. Thanks
    2
  2746. you are amazing . love your channel.
    2
  2747.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  BTW it was obvious from day one the Intellectual Dork Web was a rebranding vehicle to rehabilitate Neoconservatism. The NYT photoshoot is priceless
    2
  2748. Fucking love simulated sun dave
    2
  2749. You write a book. I buy that book. Simple.
    2
  2750. For me, like I’m sure for a lot of others, your first response to Globebusters was my introduction to your channel. Your delivery and sense of humor is top notch and I love the fact that you continue to do long form debunking videos even though your mental health might take a slight hit doing so 😂 As a semi truck driver, listening to your videos is a great way to pass the time on the road and I can’t thank you enough for helping me knock down these miles on long runs by keeping me laughing and intrigued. Congrats on 10 years and here’s to many more, or as many as you can comfortably do 😂
    2
  2751. You've helped me learn many things, and made learning anything exceptionally fun, definitely love your fresh directness debunking pseudoscience, been victim to many forms of it due to family, keep it up man.
    2
  2752. You explain so well, thank you
    2
  2753. Thanks!

  2754. Hey, Professor Dave, this is unrelated. Thank you for recognizing a free Palestine. I wish your account on twitter would be reinstated
    2
  2755. Thanks!
    2
  2756. Thank you so much i alread watched all video about transcription and translation but you are the only one who can made me understand this topic thank you so much may god bless you
    2
  2757. LMFAO! your absolutely right about that guy. He is a phony wanna be reverse phycologist. good call. There really is no evidence for evolution. Like in-between animals, such as a giraffe with a half a neck. We lost our hair to put on clothes...? Not to mention stone carvings, cave drawings of man and dinosaurs\dragons. Or how funny the government lists man as " beast of the field" propaganda. Or how they just dug up actually dinosaur skin which had feathers, now how did organics last millions of years, or how a fossilized foot in a boot found in a mine cave-in shows fossilization occured a lot faster than millions of years, and your ape\human skull was a human skull with a monkey jawbone. Evolution is a joke when looked at with any amount of questioning and common sense😂 you ever geard of Saint George and the Dragon? Hmm, documented Slaying of a Dragon\Dinosaur. The layers and fossilization is all easily explained by the flood and the shifting of the sediments. Like all those fossilized trees that are standing
    2
  2758. To be fair, one of us is completely clueless about the origin of life. Also, "Castles" was a great song. I really hope we see more music from you.
    2
  2759. this channel is simply amazing!
    2
  2760. Thank you Prof Dave! I often referred your videos in classes and on other YouTube channel , teaching little pupils and arguing with old pseudos Respectfully.
    2
  2761. Thanks! The best example to help me understand relativity came from the comedy movie “Young Einstein”. Imagine looking at the face of a clock. If I move away from the clock at the speed of light I’m going the same speed as the light coming from the clock hence the clock stops from my frame of reference. I believe that’s how time dilation works.
    2
  2762. love your videos, and beyond that, I appreciate you as a person. thanks for your hard work all these years!
    2
  2763. Wanted to drop a super thanks for the flat earther video but you cant because of the flat earth note from YouTube, so im dropping it here 😂
    2
  2764. Nice videos! Only one remark. You mention brown dwarfs in 'the first path', yet brown dwarfs are not considered 'real stars'. They don't actually attain fusion of helium. The life of real stars you're describing begins with stars of at least 78 Jupiter masses and are called red dwarfs.
    2
  2765. I thing I'll create like 10-20 fake youtube accounts to upvote more than once. SciManDan, Catz and others debunk, but you Dave, crush flatties with style.
    2
  2766. Thanks!
    2
  2767. Thanks!
    2
  2768. Mr. Hovind, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
    2
  2769. Just for stats: the ratio of downvotes vs total votes is dropping 1st https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC5RalYWZ5Y 2,5 down vs 15 up = 14% (slightly lower than last week) 2nd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDy95_eNPzM 8,5 down vs 66 up = 11% (slightly lower than last week) 3rd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyD8VIK032o 4,6 down vs 49 up = 9% (same as last week) 4th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQl8h7Aa75s 2,5 down vs 24 up = 8% (slightly lower than last week) 5th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bHqBy92iGM 0,8 down vs 16 up = 5% (slightly higher than last week)

  2770. YOU'RE GREAT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

  2771. Dave, I want to thank you for making this video. I'm an astrophysicist (specializing in gravitational waves) and while I generally don't comment on her statements about particles physics, she has waded into my field a couple times. In one instance she made flatly false claims about discoveries (and if taking at face value here statements would require deception on our part). She's never retracted any of her statements. It's been evident for a while now that here primary goal is to attract an audience and unfortunately has leaned into the science denial / conspiracy one. People think she sounds credible (and she sometimes does say supportable things) which creates more work for the rest of us to clear up misinformation.

  2775. Great content on this video. You made the skeletal system much easier to understand than my professor in lecture and the textbook.
    2
  2776. Thank you ! It helped me a lot

  2779. Hey Prof Dave! Evolution question you may have already answered in a vid. So, I've always wondered how one organism can have a viable baby with diff chromosome number than the parents? Like, how does an Oak Tree produce a baby Oak Tree with diff chromosomes than the mom/dad tree? Do we expect that someday homo sapiens will evolve into a species with diff number of chromosomes than present day humans? "Yeah, uh, polyploidy!" - Kent Hovind, inmate #06452017

  2780. I literally can not wait for your book to arrive! Your debunking videos are so entertaining and have gotten me through the stress of chemical engineering curriculum. Congrats on this great achievement!
    2
  2781. Thanks!
    2
  2782. Thanks!
    2
  2783. I don't normally comment on youtube videos but I needed to say how grateful I am for your videos. I teach chem 1411 and 1412 in a hybrid format and your videos do such an amazing job at distilling the key concepts and relating them in a meaningful way in a short amount of time.
    2
  2784. Thanks!

  2785. One of my favorite posts of all time: "Joe Rogan is like some barbarian Khan from the steppes that took an interest in intellectual things and his show is basically him bringing slightly nervous scholars and magicians to come before him to explain how the world works "glasses man, you explain to Joe why sky big, and how tree grow" but he will also believe almost anything you tell him, and only recently (in the past few years) does he clap back like "Tiny hat man say otherwise, do you lie to Joe? Tiny hat man say fat not bad for you, that sugar is enemy, so which is truth? Joe thinks you are wrong" and people just nervously go "oh-oh ok h-Haha yah I guess so" "Joe spend many moons on horseback and training with bow and sword, but joe also wonder why skyfire rise from mountains every morning, you will explain this to Joe."

  2786.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Questo spiega tutto si. I miei complimenti per il suo canale soprattutto per come ha gestito i terrapiattisti .Io non sarei stata cosi gentile né avrei avuto tanta pazienza. Dovrebbe venire in Italia perché questo cancro ce l'abbiamo pure qui. Saluti da Padova!
    2
  2787. Thanks for your videos !! I passed my orgo test last semester by watching all your videos for my final .. I have no idea how but I did !! And now I’m watching your videos for my midterm tomorrow :) thank you :) & I love your little jingle !!! It’s so cute !! :)
    2
  2788. Thanks!

  2791. Prof Dave, i am ready to think you are the clearest thinker i know. this presentation is awesome
    2
  2792. Couldnt suffer through obnoxious asshat talking over you, bravo for pushing through.
    2
  2793. Thank you Professor Dave!
    2
  2794. Thanks prof dave this series is amazing and taught me so much more than I did at school. You rock ❀
    2
  2795. Man, forgive me for being a constant philanthropist, but I come back every now and then to see who’s the next clown on your channel and I wasn’t expecting Terrence Howard!😂 I haven’t seen this guy since the first season of Empire. Based on everything he’s “created”, I think he’s next in line for Quantum Mysticism, or a figurehead for the Flat Earth Cult because this is just low, especially for a millionaire actor. And for 1 instance of criticism, how come you never watched at least Iron Man, Dave?!?!đŸ˜±đŸ„Č Edit: 19:14 ok that was goldđŸ˜‚đŸ€Ł
    2
  2796. Thanks!
    2
  2797.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I see your point and edited my comment that I can UNDERSTAND but not SHARE the critique of those people. I watched a lot of your content and you are well on par with the average "real" Professors from my (long ago) University days when it comes to explaining difficult matters and you are surely even better than some of them.
    2
  2798. Merci !
    2
  2799. Fyi: “developing” country vs “third world” country. Edit: meanwhile, especially after seeing the nasty “Hans” comment, not only am I staying subbed, I am now seriously considering joining (as should anyone using or enjoying the content and can afford it)! Direct access? Nah! I am waiting for the swag! Cheers!

  2800. Thanks!

  2801. Hi Dave. When I was younger I used to ferociously deny evolutionary biology due to religious influence within my household and have completely transformed my way of thinking mostly because of you and your work. Now I ferociously defend science as a hobby. You're really making a meaningful change in a lot of people's lives, and deserve all of the success and support you receive. Thank you so much for what you do. Also bought one of your t-shirts just now! Need me one that says "MISTER FARINA! GO! GO! GO!"
    2
  2802. Seriously saved me some brain cells. My biochemistry text was making zero sense. Thannnnkk youuuu
    2
  2803. All together now.."Like a Weinstein cowboy..."
    2
  2804. Ďakujeme.
    2
  2805. I'm glad someone has the b***s to call out not only Dr. Tour, but his bobblehead sycophants to boot. Thanks, Prof Dave. The world is a little better place thanks to the hard work and commitment to education that you bring. Keep it up, my friend.
    2
  2806. Thanks
    2
  2807. @ProfessorDaveExplains  yeah, in terms of content. I was talking form/style (you're clueless. No, you! ). To be sure, I respect people like you and Erika ( Gutsick Gibbon) for exposing frauds. It's a pet peeve about form. ❀

  2808. Thanks!

  2809. Thanks! She's dangerous during this administration. It wouldn't be a surprise if she is tapped to join Trump's administration is some bizarre way.
    2
  2810. You always save the day, Professor Dave! Thank you again for your videos!
    2
  2811. Hi I just got a 100% on my inorganic chemistry final because of you!!!!!!!
    2
  2812. I've been studying for my ochem exam for 4 days now and was still so confused and felt like there was no way I could get this information down, but then someone suggested your videos and everything is so much clearer now! Thank you!
    2
  2813. Thanks!
    2
  2814. Thank you! Studying for my organic chem test and your videos really help!!
    2
  2815. Care for some Ranch, Italian, Balsamic or Blue Cheese with that?
    2
  2816. Hey, I just ordered your book I’m super excited! Congrats ! You’re videos have helped me build confidence in chemistry and physics (as an older adult that can be difficult). I’m even considering going back to college to study it.🙏
    2
  2817. your quantum mysticism video changed my life for the better and im so serious
    2
  2818. Closing the video with Castles, love it! “I am your only resolution, total absolution what are you running from?” Dude your vocal harmonies on that EP are on-freaking-point. I listen to Ignition frequently! Oh and we all know a Venn diagram of flat Earthers and James Tour fans is a circle lol.
    2
  2819. Professor Dave has been invaluable for me and others I try to help tutor in subjects for my university. He's a valuable resource not only to the project as a whole but in connecting to others who may not have known about the project, won't be able to participate, or just want to support it! Plus, sincerely -- he's a great person.
    2
  2820. Thank you Dave! Earlier, i wasn't interested in science, but thanks to you, now i am. i am learning from your algebra videos, and also in breaks i talk with my physics and math teacher . And also, i probably watched your flat earth debate 10 times . Realy thank you for your work !
    2
  2821. No person can beat him or even compete with him
    2
  2822. Dave, you both enlighten and depress, by being honest. Keep speaking out for all our sakes.
    2
  2823. Love your work.
    2
  2824. My kids are 7 and 5 and enjoy watching many of your videos. You make it easy to follow and my 7 year old son in particular thinks you’re cool. Keep up the good work.
    2
  2825. Thanks, Prof. Dave. What is the shortlist of videos in this Organic Chemistry playlist that you would recommend for someone to prepare for your Biochemistry playlist?
    2

  2828. Great video! I wish my calculus teacher had spent some time demonstrating what the 'h' represented in the more formal method of finding derivatives. Now that I understand that, the power rule is more meaningful to me, and not some neat mathematical trick. Thank you! Also, I'm a science teacher and I show your videos on Newton's Laws of Motion to my classes every year.

  2829. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out she's got ties to the AFD -- the new N*zi party in Germany. She certainly demonstrates herself as a pick-me for the far-right anti-science crowd. And as the far-right fascists take over government and now are taking over media, they have masses of money (it turns out having zero empathy for other people makes it really easy to lie, cheat, and steal to get masses of wealth a disastrously under-regulated system). And now they are consolidating power of our various sorts of media - soon everything we see or hear will be controlled by them. Or that's their goal, anyway. Scientific words are being banned from science and pulled from informational resources, women are being erased from science and technology (good luck on that one, Sabine -- I guess she'll be one of the "good ones" for awhile) and of course anyone not falling in line with the MAGA ideal Aryan or whatever, are likewise being erased and having rights deleted. History is for sure repeating itself. And we're seeing a lot of people deciding that money is the most important thing and that they are happy to sell out the rest of the human race to side with fascists. And some people -- seemingly fewer, but that's likely just colored by my anxiety of the situation -- are making a point to stand against it. Science is, predictably, a massive target for the fascist regime(s). Anything that cares more about truth than it does about following their declarations of the "strong men" is not going to be acceptable. Hurts their feelings, makes them feel weak. If things continue, we'll wind up with pseudo science as the science allowed in the US. I do think we've slid into a new "dark age"... and that, actually, it started quite some time ago without us realizing it, we'd been coasting on past momentum. There's still much worse to come if we sit by and let it happen. Hopefully, we're at or very near the peak of this new dark age, it'll just be a blip, and will be able to claw back civilization and humanity within our lifetimes. But my fear is that far too many remain apathetic or in denial -- or worse, complicit -- to take it seriously yet.

  2830. I saw the debate live and I am still calming down. Wow Dave. I have so much respect for you! You did a really good job. Kunt Hovind is an insufferable prick and you handled him as well as anyone possibly could. I would have lost my shit after 15 minutes. Please continue your good work mate! :)

  2851. Every Christmas, I treat myself to a dose of reality by reading Dave's book, "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?" It is easy to read, and the technical stuff is simple to follow. I have to admit, It is a miracle that I grasped any of it as they would not let me do trigonometry in school in case I injured someone. Creationists should not bother because some words have three syllables.

You and Martymer81. I just want to let you know that you are making a difference in my life. You have been guiding someone, who loved science in high school , back into the awesomeness of it. Keep it goin , and thank youđŸ€˜

  2857. I'm so so so thankful you started the teaching videos! You're my first go-to with Chemistry, now that I know you teach Nutrition and A&P I plan to watch those in the future. I cannot express how thankful I am, every time I watch the videos it clicks way more than any other video! I always recommend you to my fellow classmates and I will continue to do so, I'm glad that could be of some help.

  2860. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! Some of the other youtube videos that exist out there simplify it a little too much and I still don’t understand the complicated terminology that my professor/ book uses, but you use that nomenclature while still giving an in-depth explanation making it easy to understand!

  2877. I didn't get to send in a video, so I'll say it here: Thank You! Returning to higher education after a multi-decade break has been made so much easier. Your videos helped me revise and catch up on my high school and pre-degree Maths and Physics. A great way to revise and learn the bits I'd forgotten or missed, and then carry on learning new material. And then the bonus: the entertainment that is the debunking clowns on a variety of topics. Great bonus where I still learn but also laugh... a lot!

  2886. Professor Dave, you are producing at this moment the most vitally beneficial content on YouTube. Where Contrapoints the queen of BreadTube achieved world wide praise for deradicalizing young men out of the rabbit hole of the alt-right– your content is a clear, visually immersive, authoritative voice counteracting the metastasizing rot of pseudoscientific Woo in the public discourse. KEEP IT UP, KING. 10:30 “if you change the molecular structure of water it’s not water” I would have loved for you to slap another oxygen on there and say this is Hydrogen Peroxide. Then a carbon and say this is highly toxic methyl alcohol. One more carbon- This is booze Move the oxygen - now it’s nail Polish remover! People have no understanding of how minute changes in chemical structure/composition completely alter its properties/identity. They literally think synthesis is like baking a cake and that organometallic catalysts remain in the end product

  2898. Dave, you dont know how much these vids are needed in the current disinformation climate. There's many decent FE debunking vids but none of them hammer the point home like yours. I would love to see a weekly vid focusing on one subject at a time. I'd bet thousands of your subs would agree.
    1
  2899. Let me get this right. You don’t wish to continue being a teacher (to what 100-200 in a lecture theatre?) but you will continue to create educational videos and allow millions to learn. Which bit about the latter doesn’t makes you a teacher? Don’t stop. You are a good man.

  2909. Dave, the way you outline these videos is always incredibly good. You consistently manage to hit all relevant points (e.g. the biases going into this, the climate denial hypocrisy, the dangers of refusal to think critically) in an order in which they build on each other in a very coherent, clear and satisfying way. This thoroughness and clarity is the best part about your videos, and a candle in the darkness in these times

  2913. Ignoring lunatics was scientists' general policy in the '00s till Intelligent Design advocates got into school boards and changed school books. They had to be laughed out. We now live in dumber times with the dumb undermining healthcare policy, burning cell towers, and attacking seats of government. Stupid ideas need to be contained with ridicule and flat Earth is one of the most stupid ideas out there.

  2930.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  one thing for sure brother you were made for this. Teaching , whether it be in the classroom, lecture hall, social media platform or through the airwaves via streams and podcasts. That gift you have, there's no downplaying that. From what I understand teaching and to be successful at it, you have to have such a fine balance between so many things. You got to be well-rounded you have to know your curriculum inside and out. You have to be able to express yourself fluently, got to be able to keep a cool head about you. Because you know there's always going to be a few smart asses intent on making your job that much harder. The most important is to have, and keep a sense of humor throughout it all. That's gold standard brother.. That's a hard job not many willing to tackle. Them cats working at them crab boats or working on them oil rigs are physically tough cookies, but they wouldn't last a week teaching at some suburbian High School.

  2944. Hey Dave, have you considered reading some of what Plato, and Aristotle and some of the things they wrote on rhetoric. They made rhetoric specifically to help them against some of the same slimy, bad faith people that you been arguing with lately. It’s how to basically argue your point against bad faith actors like the one in this video. Also it’s just a vary interesting thing to read.

  2949. Hey, recently I got my dad to read your book, as he liked the idea of a book which debunks common science myths by arming someone with specifit knowledge on scientific topics. He didn’t know much about science generally, but after he read your book he was surprised by the amount of false information he knew from the press, and other clickbait sources that pop up occasionally. Additionally he has much more significant knowledge on how science operates, and on specific scientific subjects. I told him how the book had no prerequisite information so it wouldn’t be like a boring textbook, which is great as it explains stuff really well and it doesn’t sound officialise (which is what makes textbooks and the alike so boring for laypeople) It is a really good book, and quite unique in its fashion, and you have helped out a lot of people. I really appreciate your efforts in creating that book and I am currently trying to distribute it to as many people I know who may benefit from it. It is a great read.

I watched one of your programs on the periodic table and for years I couldn’t quite get it but your way of teaching it just stuck instantly lol. Your really good at it. I hope you finally get a chance to shut up mr hovind for good lol . Keep up the good fight brother.

  2962. I have always been a good student who loved to learn, but mathematics and physics never came easily to me. My teachers were repeating terms from textbooks and neither them nor the textbooks cared to translate it to actual human language. Those were still textbooks from Soviet Union, so i imagine it must be very different from how Westerners are taught. Also, when it came to things like electricity, i automatically tried to imagine what is going on on atomic level. But that is not how we were taught. I don't know if i was kinda dumb or the teaching did not reflect my learning style, but seeing mathematical formulas did very little to me at that time. But the way you put it is so INTERESTING. When you speak about organization and amount of information needed to describe those states it starts to make sense. insert mindsplosion meme here

  2970. I think I found your channel through the classic globebusters debunk and have stuck through the debunking content mostly. I am currently a phd student in physics, and in these crossroads of careers, I am seriously thinking of becoming a "warrior for science" as you said in your sabine videos, your influence has been quite the awakening for me. I would love to find myself in your position in 15-20 years if I opt out of academia. Happy 10 year anniversary!! PS: Should have sent a clip with that :(

  2971. I recently got your book Is This Wi-Fi organic and I showed it to my grandfather who thinks that Climate change isn't real. I think I finally may have gotten through his skull thanks dave. Ironically, his name is also dave But he is pretty dumb. But at least I might have gotten something in his head. Let me know if you need a classically trained violinist.

  2972. Thankyou Dave! I love that your book is short, debunks pseudoscience understandable for laypeople and there is no prerequisite information. (As you mentioned). This is really great. I think it’s very well formatted looking at it, and it’s great for people who are conspiracy minded or do not know what is fact or false (would be a great book to give to a few of my friends and family) Love that it explains science simotaniously! This will be a great book to gift a few friends who are ignorant of some science and to better equip some of my family who are partially conspiracy minded. I will definitely be purchasing the book, and Thankyou so much for contributing this. 🙂

  2983. Hello there, German Long Time Viewer Here. I would like to share my opinion on the German Version of the Video. Although the Translation seems to be pretty accurate, I just couldn't stand the chatGbt sounding voice. I understand almost everything you say and prefer to Take in your original voice,Sometimes subbed in english If available. Hard stuff I just "rewind" and listen again. In my opinion,your German followers all understand english quite well ( so they were able to enjoy your content untill today) and don' t Need the dubbing. I am Not Sure about your chances to reach new German audience like this, maybe... But as mentioned, I 'm old school and my dislike of Computer sounding voices ist Not representative of the German Internet Kids of today

Specially the debunks of flattards and religious con-men. And yes, I would agree, this actually is not the proper vid for this comment. And perhaps i misjudged the title and thumbnail, of the vid in question. And in this matter, I should apologize for at least 2 things, good sir. First of all, the title and thumbnail of your Trump vid, made me decide, to not want to watch that vid(I am in no way a fan, however, he was a hilarious man, and the outrage over his wording, and some questionable deeds, or actions, was a delight to observe for me #MomWheresMyPocorn). Soo, in my opinion, i have no right to have an opinion about the vid in question đŸ€Ł. I might actually watch it later. That being said, I do appreciate you reacting to my comment, taking it serious as you do, makes me appreciate you even more. It shows, you respect you audience! PS i saw you on discovery science, a while ago. Can't recall wich show, but it was definitely you. Keep it up and with humble respect, this Dutchman offers his apology, for taking an uninformed shot at your content, without any effort taken to see things in context. Keep it going. I ❀ u 🙏

  2990. What a fucking legend, seriously you’ve made all these concepts super easy.. I’m in nursing school and this has been such a breeze because of you.

  2991. Go for it Dave. Chase this shyster into the nearest available corner and free the people that have been brainwashed by his bullshit. Christopher Hitchens once said “If I gave you an enema then I could bury you in a matchbox”. Honour him.

  2992. My semi-regular chance to throw a Prof. Dave a couple bucks and also request a debunk on the Shroud of Turin. Lately, a lot of YTers have cited it as evidence, cuz no one knows how it was made, and they talk about organic compounds like bilirubin and vanillin, and how the carbon-dating done by STRP was bunk. If you get a chance, I'd love to see MR. FARINA prove that we are not AHHHH CLUELESS about the Shroud. And if not, that's okay too. I'll keep watching and dropping money when I can.

  2993. I have your audio book “Is this WiFi organic” it’s absolutely amazing. Unbelievable information and one of the best audio books ever.

  2994.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I personally think you did a great job, you could tell every time he was backed into a corner because he'd pull out another stupid irrelevant analogy. He's very good at keeping his cool, but that's where his advantages end.

  2996. It think its kinda funny how this channel has videos about agressively, agressively taking down unscientific ideas and people, and then videos about cannoli
    1
  2997. Thanks!
    1
  2998. whats really funny to me is the patter of development in Daves opinion on the people he regularly debunks. With jimmy Tour we began with " Tour is a respected scientist who is too smart to use all the dumb arguments all the other creationists use" and we ended with the chalkboard clip and so so many dunning kruger graphs. and with joe we began with "Joe doesnt know a lot of shit but because he genuinly wants to learn he starts poking and prodding the bullshiters he interviews and accidentally reveals that theyre selling bullshit" and now were at "your podcast is bad for civilisation". i guess the longer you look at one specific brand of pseudiscience, the more angry you get.

  3001. I support you Professor Dave!!! You are the reason why I finally have fallen in love with chemistry. It took me years to understand it and I thought I would never get it but then I found you. Thank you for pumping out such wonderful educational videos.

  3002. It's crazy, I started to watch your video when I first attended the US middle school here, and now I am in dental school, I am still watching your video. You did an amazing job explaining the concept, my professor took 90 minutes and still doesn't get it, you only used 16 min and I finally got it.

  3006. Goodl luck with the masters degree! I really appreciate what you are doing, it is very important. It's great you actually took the time to debunk and refute the silly claims made by flat earthers. However, I find it quite sad that this work is still necessary and even sadder to hear that someone who provides such an important community service has to struggle economically. When my own economic circumstances allow it, I will consider you on patreon.

  3014. If this ever does come to fruition then you should definitely hire an independent videographer to record the entire exchange live, imo. I don’t trust this guy if he’s willing to spend thousands to obtain non copyrighted footage when you could just debate online for free. I feel like he’s definitely planning some funny business w the recording since he knows having it online would be too easy for you to record. The money spent on a videographer will pay for itself once you post the footage of you wiping the floor w this “gaslighting 
.” 😂 don’t even tell him you’re hiring one until after you arrive in London so he can’t back out either đŸ˜‰đŸ€­

  3017.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  I, in absolutely no way, think that science is somehow below biblical anything. I should've been more clear in my original comment. Thinking more on the subject, I'm sure you get a lot of people trying to argue with you about how science proves the Bible and all that crap they do, so no harm done here. I actually like your channel. My next comment will be better thought out, as to avoid this kind of thing in the future. Stay healthy and apologies for any name calling.

  3021.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  That's very comforting, there was something in the back of my mind telling me that this obviously educated intelligent individual well versed in science couldn't be missing this, but I'm glad I took the time to follow up. I'm a geophysicist and flat earthers make me very unhappy.

  3027.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Again, about the debate. Tour kept saying, “they haven’t done this”, “they said they’d do that but haven’t.” How is that an argument for anything? The purpose of science is to discover. So what if something hasn’t been done yet? You tried to show that his claims were untrue, why not point out even if true, it cannot mean it would never be done, that he cannot assert it will never be done. Last point. It seems your logical strategy to bring research papers to dispute Tout was not effective in that format. I imagine if the two of you presented separately at a conference, your data intense approach would have the time it needed. Instead, his Gish gallop forced you to constantly search for a paper to refute him, while he moved on to something else, forcing you to look for another paper. Your approach to prove he lies needed more time than the format allowed. I kept waiting for you to appeal to the moderator by asking him to tell Tour to shut up. Your composure earned my additional respect for your strength of character. Is there something you could share on how you did that?
    1
  3028. Great explanations Prof Dave. Will share this to our fungi pages. As well as incredibly informative it is brilliant for people who are collecting and describing specimens.

  3031. I agree that you have found your niche. Go for it, buddy. The Master's Degree should give you lots of new tools to take your content to a new level. I am so thoroughly impressed by your intelligence, drive and passion. I went to New Mexico Tech University. There, Organic Chemistry was universally know as the #1 hardest class at the school. It was the make-it-or-break-it course for chemists.
    1
  3032. So I just had another super chat erased and decided that rather than dealing with YT’s censorship bs where Dave loses a large % in their fees anyway, I just joined patreon at the mega professor pal level 😊 As I said before, I seriously can’t think of a better cause to support right now than a no-nonsense science communicator that takes on multibillion dollar orgs, like DI, that have the main objective of quite literally turning America into a theocracy
 happy to support you @Dave, keep up the amazing (and extremely important) work 👍

  3041. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary. Thank you and your debunks and your book for helping me overcome the anti-establishment-bias that is regrettably very present in my social circle and threatened to take me in as well. Now when I find myself questioning the establishment I always stop and ask myself if it is truly warranted or if I'm just ranting for no real reason. And I actively try to fight this trend whereever I can. Because as you say yourself, it will lead humanity to it's own extinction if we can't stop it. I challenge the people around me when they are speaking nonsense instead of just ignoring them. Often using the same arguments and techniques you used, for example with anti-vaxxers. A lot of people close to me, even family, are staunch anti-vaxxers. It's sickening to see how people can just abandon all logic just because they like the story, even when they can't defend their view one bit when you challenge them. Thank you for giving me the hope and words to fight back <3

  3042. 16:00 For what it's worth your biology and evolution videos made me speak up to someone who was basing a lot of his facts on some creation pictures in the bible. I'm not out looking to kill religion but this was just straight up imaginations that had consequences. The next time I spoke to that person he thanked me because he actually looked into it. Now he's convinced of the evolution tree etc., so yeah your info does help.

  3044. Thanks! for this exposé! The team of Josh McDowell and Thomas Williams in their "NEW" book: "HOW TO KNOW GOD EXISTS," which my sister sent to me in an effort for REconversion TO THEISM! Sheeeeesh!! This, by the way, is a republication of the 2003 book "In search of certainty" These two fellows, however, do not disappoint in their NEW efforts as a comedy tag-team! The first chapter is called "An odd thing happened when we got rid of God!" In my opinion, All the emotional words " blatantly peppered"* in each chapter and throughout the book give you a guilt trip to pull you into hypnochristianity! I can feel*, and *see them constantly bemoaning the fact that unless we can demonstrate evidence for abiogenesis from a simple cell to an evolved human being, A *"god of THE gaps" is their GO TO "PROOF"! BUT WAIT there's MORE... a "tear-jerking ALTER CALL" at the end of the book!

  3047. Keep doing what you do Profsssor. I remember when your globebusters video was new, and you promised that your channel would not forsake its educational purpose. You kept that promise even though it must be quite tempting I imagine to direct all your efforts to more popular videos. An excellent demonstration of your good character.

  3048. You seem like a really nice guy Dave which is getting pretty rare in this day and age. I wish you very good luck with your channel and my it grow beyond your expectations. I certainly will be telling everyone I know to subscribe to your channel.

  3050. Awesome achievement, I’ve learned an awful lot from the channel Professor Dave, my sons just started University here in U.K. and he’s also an avid subscriber. Even with the superb educational content, I have to say some of my favourite videos were the responses to Team Dunning-Kruger, I mean Globe-provers, you know, the Flat earth shills.

  3051. Thank you so much, you're one of the best channels of chemistry I know. Thank you so much again.

So you see how strong the religion actually is, it's even proven by the fact, that different religions have fought for thousands of years, and for what? What god is the correct one? Hopefully modern worlds helps more people to turn to wisdom. P.S. Excellent work You do, it's very useful to watch your videos time to time to just refresh things and learn new ones.

  3071. I have to say. I absolutely love how Dave. A guy who couldn't care less about the flat earth world, one day just showed up and threw the entire conspiracy into a blender in such a way that a toddler could understand why it was stupid. He mic dropped and then immediately disappeared to do his own thing. I couldn't respect him more for that.

  3072. Your videos make me think about this process - everywhere I go - I am looking at the world in a different way than I used to - It's a marvelous thing you gave us -
    1
  3073. I watched the same thing on two sources: One by Professor Dave and the other by Crash Course Astronomy, and let me make a few points. 1. I am a lay person, I do not understand science, haven't studied it beyond a certain limit. For such a person, this 17 minute video was Godsend (ironical, isn't it) because it has such a beautiful explanation. Crash Course explanation was lacking in several fundamentals which made it easy for me to UNDERSTAND exactly what is happening. Not the surface understanding, I actually understood the process and absorbed it from this video. 2. I loved that you explained the Chandrashekhar limit and mentioned it by name. Again, Crash Course mentioned several scientists who were white and while they used the Chandrashekhar limit over and over again, they did not mention the name of the concept OR the name or the scientist who came up with it even ONCE. It felt like they were portraying it to be the work of white scientists, thereby taking away the merit of BIPOC scientists. I've spoken to several physicists and they have all mentioned that you CANNOT explain Black holes and white dwarves without the Chandrashekhar limit. This means that to not mention the name of the principle (but mentioning Pauli's exclusionary principle or Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in detail) shows that the credit has been taken away DELIBERATELY and the time that should have been spent on Chandrashekhar limit was given to them because of race. 3. I know this is a scientific video, but inclusion and crediting the scientists of colour is an important step in ensuring scientific advancement itself. It is a form of motivation and acceptance, and that their work will not be appropriated by white scientists. Thanks for this video

  3082. Hey Dave. Although I think you are sometimes a bit more abrasive than is productive I want to commend you for doing what you can in battling the worrying waves of anti intellectualism that have cropped up the last decade or so. You never seem worried about getting in a fight to defend science and reason and for that I commend you. You will be more needed than ever the coming few years so please take care of yourself. All the best.

    1
  3090. Dave, this might sound like an understatement, but you're truly doing god's work exposing those fraudsters. In my lifetime, my entire worldview has been shattering for the second time in the past few months. The first time was when I left religion due to its dogma, only to fall for other equally dogmatic personalities and ideas. Gladly, it looks like I'll have to revise many of my beliefs yet again. ^^ I feel bad for getting stuck in an echo chamber of anti-establishmentarianists who only sold cynicism, hopelessness, and fear. I know I might fall into another echo chamber, but one grows, learns and improves. For that, I'm thankful for your work, as well as others who expose the perpetuated lies and dogma. ❀

  3091. ​ @zerothehero123  Dr. Jaffe is wrong. I shoot video of med school classes for a living (I'm actually in a class now), and so, in a way, I've been in med school for the last 9 years. Of course, it depends on the school, but there is more than a couple of hours taught on lifestyle and nutrition, but only in an evidence-based context. As an example, I had an ingrown toenail recently that got infected. No amount a meditation or nutrition would have cleared it up. Had I not taken antibiotics, I probably would have lost my toe, possibly my leg, and perhaps my life. I took antibiotics, the podiatrist cut off half my toenail, and I was fine. That's not to say that nutrition and lifestyle don't have positive, evidence-based effects. They certainly do, and the lack of those can lead to actual medical problems, such as diabetes. But here's the thing: medical treatments are evidence-based. Our students do get a course in CAM, but they emphasize the fact that most CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) doesn't have evidence to back it up. I personally want my students to learn evidence-based medicine. Do you know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.

  3117.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  But one of the main factors in how geologic time is divvied up is what lived at what time. One of the essential features of a given formation is its fossil content. The fossil record is a fundamental part of introductory geology, and you cannot reject evolution while understanding it at even the most basic level. Agreed on science deniers. It all connects, and you can't reject part of it without impacting the rest.

  3119. You've just picked up a new premium subscriber (I recently learned that is good for your algorithm rankings... Which is weird since I don't see or interact with any ads). I watched all your flat earth videos last night, and love your directness. No messing around, calling a spade a spade, and calling a dumbass a dumbass. I've always had a love of science, and it's something I've instilled in my daughter as well. She has developed a keen bullshit detector, and it's primarily because her mother and I have raised her with constant exposure to critical thinking tests. Mostly forcing her to figure her problems out on her own by being aware of all the contributing factors. She is now 16, and has recently realized how moronic many of her friends are, specifically thanks to Covid. Please keep the videos coming! I will be going through your entire library in hopes of learning as much as I can from you.

  3121.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  That's great! I live in the USA, where only the most privileged 34% of households are allowed access to highschool for their children, and only 14% of those are allowed to stay in it long enough to graduate. The slave class gets no exposure things like this. You have a chance to make a real difference for the people who need it the most. As for me, I come from the 31% of americans who aren't allowed access to schooling at all, so I find the prospect especially exciting.

I must say it shows how delusional James really is to agree to a live debate after all of this. Thanks Dave for standing up for the people who are not science literate and exposing dipshits like Tour with an agenda and some big words. As a chemist myself, I know James is full of shit, but I can see how gullible lay people could easily fall prey to his rhetoric. Keep doing what you're doing. On to the DI debunk videos next!

  3130. I've watched a few videos from this channel but had not subscribed in the past solely because I hadn't liked Professors Dave's 'outspoken' form of debate and debunking. But after watching this, imo, well documented debunking I'm a sub. This is a war of ideas and it's very sad to me that scientific methodology is appreciated by so few, misunderstood and feared by so many. Perhaps there is no greater sin to secular reasoning and critical thinking than a scientist failing to demonstrate to us simple people how to think about the reality of things going on in the scientific community. Sorry I misjudged you Professor Dave. You just put the hammer squarely down on something that was bothering me and I'm sure many others.

  3131. Professor Dave, I truly respect you for the work you put into trying to clearly communicate facts and logic especially with the commotion of today’s science denial. You’re truly a light in the dark, and I hope many more find your content and can think for themselves. I clearly see the passion you have for this topic and if I had the knowledge you possess I would be doing the same thing you are, preach brother!

  3142. Dave, you respond to a lot of claims on your channel, but you have yet to debunk the well supported claim as articulated by "Dr." James Tour, when he plainly stated, and I quote: "AHHHH MR. FARINA!! CLUELESS AHHHHHHH!!!" Checkmate, Davetheists.

  3144.  @breal9014  No, I am saying just check out some of his videos. Look at the stuff he has, he knows very well the subjects he has made videos on for a reason. Because he is legit. Random YouTubers are not making videos on organic chemistry. He know his subjects and topics very, very well. He's also a pretty good damn musician and gamer to boot. He also, like I said, has a video explaining his background in science.

  3164. Actually @Dave I just watched some of Alex’s video explaining all the dirty tricks this guy pulled and I honestly don’t think it’s worth going, otherwise you’ll DEFINITELY need A TON of ground rules
 he was cutting his mic out anytime Alex made a point about the Quran he didn’t like
 such as how it permits men to b**t women, and he constantly used weird sounds to interrupt him anytime he didn’t like the point being made. So it seems like this is why he’s so adamant it can only be held in person at certain locations with certain people running it and certain audiences, he uses a TON of tricks to unfairly influence the “debate” in his favor.

  3166. I really, really appreciate all of your debunking videos, Dave. Growing up in a super religious household with daily bible readings, church three times a week, homework from church, and going to christian schools through elementary has caused life-long religious trauma that I still deal with. Your videos are so thorough in breaking down how ridiculous that shit is and it’s very cathartic. I’m glad they’ve helped grow your channel to expose this kind of stuff to more people and I’m sure there’s lots of younger people who are in the same spot I was 10+ years ago questioning things who need them.

  3190. Enjoyed every minute, Dave. You deserve the amazing feelings that come from knowing you’ve changed all those lives. I’ve been following since my brother made me watch one of your debunks, and I appreciate the coherent intelligence you continually pit against anti science rhetoric. As a professor of literature, rhetoric, and composition, I also appreciate the diligent research your content exemplifies. Though every year the disinformation parroted by my students chips away at my optimism, you give me hope. Thank you!

A big thank you Professor Dave for all your hard work, Im just sorry I cannot donate to you, I wish you all the best in the future.

  3194. I think this is easily your best DI video since your Casey Luskin debunk. The way you directly speak to the goals and tactics of these actual tyrants is very punctual and easy to understand, which I find incredibly important. These videos could be a real help in neutralizing people who may have fallen or been born into households who peddle this crap. Great work as usual. I can’t wait to see what you coon up next.

  3206. Saturday 04/01/2025. Somewhere in North Europe... Thanks P. Dave, You are a beacon in this darkness. I try to share as much as possible your content, but I see that people are not so interested in science, and avoid thinking that, it is science, that brought their worshipping totems: the smartphones (for instance), which phisically are attached to us and just centimeterrs away when we sleep. I love technology and I won't renounce to any of it except, perhaps, what clowns-liars-usurpers as Musk can bring. His IA and his chips and his ideas constant stealing. He should be held accountable. Again, thanks and love from an unconditional fan and follower, as I was educated in science in an European school of engineering, and there was a single language: true-based facts, proven by scientific method/s. Hail Science and Intellectualism... And same encoragement as told to other FE debunker, not a single second spent again on FE bullshit. We must ignore them, as they thrive on views and I dont what to be a source of income of these mother s Ps: BTW you have a beautiful family!!!

  3211. Jokes aside ... how's your mental health doing? I can only assume it must be extremely triggering for an intellectual such as yourself who understands scientific rigor to see those idiots getting more and more popular on the internet and spreading lies for clicks. The line between scientific vulgarisation and plain misinformation is too often crossed on social media platforms and your channel is a great help. Keep fighting brother!

  3225. Great to hear you like music so much. I do as well. I do plan to actually donate to you. I only give money out to what I believe is a good cause. I feel yours is one. The money will probably be in March maybe late February but as you may hear that quite often I plan to live up to it. Anyway my questions about chemistry are actually not because of any school I'm attending. My wife and daughters think I am crazy to study that subject but it's out of pure love of science. I am 49 now and have always loved science. I love chemistry but only over the past 2 years have I really had time to delve into it. And it's fun and never too late to learn. Desire to learn is a precious tool that some people just do not have. Or don't know it. Always loved Astronomy too. Self taught myself that quite extensively and still like to dabble into it from time to time. Love answering questions about it. A young boy next door is fascinated with it and always comes with questions. And good ones too ! The other morning I get "If Venus looked just like Earth from space would we still be able to see it from here?" .. I go on to tell him yes but not nearly as brilliant due to the fact Venus has reflective cloud cover blanketing the entire planet whereas Earth has it too, but of course not as much coverage. And that makes a difference. Anyway, thanks a million Prof. Dave for your videos. I left the chemistry alone back in 89 after joining the military, but it feels great to be diving into it once again. Thanks for your time and will be contacting you soon for that donation. I feel it is for a great cause as I mentioned before.

  3240.  @ProfessorDaveExplains  Fair, but you do refer to dot products in the linear algebra playlist, with the understanding of existing knowledge (Orthogonality and Orthonormality is where I noticed it), hence my comment.

  3243.  @nicolauscopernicus3923  I rather think you don't understand that you are using a quote wrongly attributed to Copernicus. Below is the link to the Penny Cyclopedia. Before the section on Copernicus, is the quote I have used, directly below that is the quote you have used. My quote quite clearly states that Osiander wrote the preface & is therefore not Copernicus. https://archive.org/stream/ThePennyCyclopaediaOfTheSocietyForTheDiffusionOfUsefulKnowledge/ThePennyCyclopaediaOfTheSocietyForTheDiffusionOfUsefulKnowledgeVolume07Charleston-Copyhold#page/n505/mode/2up It would seem you just don't understand simple English

  3244. You said something that really broke through to me and a light came on in my mind. A whole field of study would not just make things up. It’s much more logical to understand that the “only one who knows the truth” is the one that’s lying. Not a whole group of historians and scientists. The logic I used to believe is astounding and completely backwards. Thank you. You and Forrest Valkai should be the ones on Joe’s show

  3248. You gave him too much ground to start with. You were right to reject his premise that god exists, but you granted that it logically follows that we would expect an existing God to create a universe that permits life. And that’s unproven. He tries to back up that conclusion by appealing to the “goodness of moral interactions,” but that’s an unproven assertion. In fact, we can’t assume that life (or “moral interaction”) is good without implicitly assuming a conscious being to recognize it as good, unless we want to go the route of moral realism, which is a shaky argument. You see, he’s sneaking in other premises to logically arrive at that conclusion, but he never explicitly told you those premises, and you never explicitly granted them. But he also fails to see the issue with his Bayesian analysis on that subject. And here’s why: The prior probability of a god instantiating the singularity is not 50%. In fact, we must consider ALL of the hypotheses for the origin of the singularity (and even then we are assuming it wasn’t always there). Then we must distribute the probability evenly across all hypotheses, until we have further evidence to give weight to some of them. The problem is that there are an infinite number of “possible” explanations of the origin of the singularity, so the prior probability that God created it is infinitesimally small, as with every other hypotheses. He’s creating a false dichotomy by lumping all of the non-theistic hypotheses into one category and giving it equal weight to the theistic hypothesis. The main issue here is that, since none of these hypotheses seem to be testable, then we are stuck with our prior probabilities, and we just established that the prior probability of a god creating the universe is infinitesimally small. On top of that, even if we knew that some of these hypotheses could be testable, appeals to explanatory power are going to be problematic here, because we could easily posit a non-theistic unconscious universe-creating machine that spits out an infinite number of universes in every possible configuration, including some that eventually permit life after they expand for a while. And then we could just state that we are in a specific universe that happens to permit life, and that we cannot see the other universes, because that’s how universes work according to observation. And then he might respond, “well why did we happen to find ourselves in this specific universe and not another one that doesn’t permit life?” And that’s a nonsensical question, because the only reason we exist to ask such a question is because this universe unfolded in a way that brought us to life. So we can’t actually approach that question from an outside perspective. Now, since we can construct a hypothesis that is guaranteed to predict everything in our universe (the one I just mentioned above), then the theistic hypothesis is equivalent at best, and probably worse. Moreover, if you want to add in all of the attributes we ascribe to the Abrahamic god, then the theistic hypothesis loses some of its predictive power, since it makes a lot of extra claims that defy everything we know and observe about physics. It would have to account for those anomalies.

  3272. I've finished all 165 videos in the playlist. Let me just say this series is incredible and it truly makes every single new concept in math seem unimaginably easy. You'll think calculus and linear algebra are tough but by the end you'll treat them like they're 2+2=4, and it's all because of how well these videos explain them. Some other closing thoughts and information about the contents: The 165 videos here reach up to about the second year in math university(mostly Analysis and later some cursory Vector Fields), and a lot of the latter-half lessons here lean more on the Applied Math side than Pure Math. This is probably intended and it's a good thing, considering all the related fields Dave specialises in. Meaning that the math you're going to learn in this series all have strong practical applications in Physics, Engineering, but also Computer Science, in case you wish to become a programmer. While not strictly necessary, and you can perfectly understand without, I might recommend knowing at least a bit about classical Physics once you reach the calculus lessons in math and beyond, although, if like most of the population you've went to school, you've probably had basic Physics classes and that alone is enough. In any case, the math you learn here is going to be more or less all you need for most Physics or Engineering. Anything beyond will probably concern the very bleeding edge in contemporary math or physics, and is probably things I can't even begin to comprehend..

  3275. Hi Dave, If you want some interesting material on the subject of Information theory and the emergence of complex biological systems "from randomness" as they would say, there's a paper about a fellow countryman called Ricard SolĂ© whose title is Zipf’s Law, unbounded complexity and open-ended evolution . He's a Complex Systems researcher and the paper is a bit dense but it address the topic of how complexity has been able to grow without the need of an intelligent designer and a purpose. Both the debate and this video are an impressive work! And at the debate I discovered you're a musician? I'm jealous about your productivity!

  3285. What gets me is that, apparently, there's this whole chunk of our population who can't do this kind of thinking for themselves. (To be clear, I agree with your assessment. I'm only more alarmed that this stuff can happen at all... that it needs debunking... than I am at the ridiculous claims alone.) When I was in college, I had these kinds of conversations all the time, kindof like a blood sport. But then I wrote such people off as worthless and never looked back. Since the shock of 2016, I've been trying to find an actual cure. No luck so far. I do think it's got to do with familiarity as a poor substitute for critical thinking, for such people. But how? ...what's the fix? Please do one on how this has been solved in the past??? I'm thinking we're headed for an empire structure again, with all that that implies. I'm worried. Familiarity is way easier than logical evaluation...
