Hearted Youtube comments on Veritasium (@veritasium) channel.

  1. I'm here for the laminar flow dawg.
    114000
  2. Derek, can you just turn Veritasium into a gambling channel where scientists with opposing views put money on the table and face off to try to convince one another of the true answer? I'd watch that.
    95000
  3. Sending this video to my mom! She’ll be so proud of me..... for once.....
    67000
  4. walking down the street and being asked to say a random number and then having the interviewer get excited over your answer has to be so confusing
    61000
  5. This was a very fun present to unwrap. When you called me and told me to turn the camera on I knew something weird was going to happen and you certainly delivered. As long as I’ve known you Derek you’ve been destroying assumptions. Thank you for this friendship. It’s certainly enjoyable from my perspective.
    58000
  6. What a success story! I wish he was successful in compensation side in Japan, but I guess they lost him because of that. Happy to see him thrive now.
    56000
  7. It was an bloody great to have Derek and his crew come and hangout for the day. A lot of people are asking why I would continue working with the snakes once I found out I’m allergic. I’ve spoken to medical professionals and have a plan that we believe will keep me alive in the unfortunate event of a bite. I love my job and that I have an active part in saving lives. Knowing people still have their children, partners and parents because of the work I do is an incredible feeling.
    45000
  8. the world needs more scientists, disagreeing about something and the only thing that happens is a very civil discussion.
    44000
  9. "I'm terrible at making clickbait" says one of the people with the strongest title/thumbnail games on the platform. Seriously, the past two years of Veritasium has been a case study in how to make clickable videos while still respecting the intelligence of the audience.
    39000
  10. Their interview process reminds me of the joke about the employeer who just throws out half of the applications since he doesn't like working with unlucky people.
    38000
  11. "he just 37ed and walked away" was undoubtedly the funniest part of this video
    38000
  12. As somebody that's tried tracking down a CD left in the wrong CD case, I can attest that the loop strategy does indeed work 31% of the time. (The other 69% of the time it turns up weeks later on the kitchen table.)
    36000
  13. As a science educator you should be particularly proud of this video. I've never seen this topic explained anywhere close to as good as what this video does. Kudos!
    35000
  14. God I love when I’m watching a YouTube video about the history of something and they bring on THE guy that did THE thing
    35000
  15. This video is a masterpiece. The best explanation of gravity on the internet currently.
    32000
  16. This was so beautiful. I was thinking of revisiting the old video I made with Strogatz about the Brachistochrone and Johann Bernoulli's solution, but this honestly does most of what I could have dreamed and so much more. Bravo!
    29000
  17. Keep zooming and eventually, you’ll see the pixel where the simulation devs stopped caring.
    28000
  18. The animator is the hidden hero here!
    27000
  19. This was a greatly detailed video and I think we are pretty much on the same page! Thanks for the shoutout and going through the trouble of clarification. P.S. by the way, the resistor in your experiment didn't quite match the lien impedance, other you would get half your supply voltage right away. But I mean with such small capacitance and inductances, the probing itself could d have added some parasitic components to the lines. PPS: Like I said above "pretty much on the same page"! It is a complex subject, and I think some nuances could have been addressed better. Maybe Derek and I could sit together and react to nuances to clarify things!
    26000
  20. Can we all take a moment to appreciate this fly flying through the ring in slo-mo? 5:26
    24000
  21. I stopped watching for 2 minutes and we went from error correction to 5 dimensional hyper cubes
    23000
  22. Well I guess I can stop working on.… exactly the same video 😂🤦‍♂️
    22000
  23. - Dad... why are rainbows curved? - Give me a couple of weeks to answer it
    20000
  24. One word: preparedness. If you want a fantastic example of preparedness, look at how Amundsen organized his South Pole expedition. Leftover fuel cans were found over 50 years later and were completely full. He marked his supply depots with rows of red flags for 1200 m in each direction (E and W as he was travelling S and then N on the way back). He got to the 1200 m by taking the largest possible error on navigation, and then doubling it. They had enough food to miss a depot and still make it to the next one. His entire team were expert skiers and dog-sledders, so everyone could do everyone else's job. All this in 1911.
    19000
  25. THIS IS AWESOME INFORMATION!! Imagine if everyone would understand that cooperating and being kind and forgiving pays off best for everyone...
    19000
  26. Shout out to the guy on the bridge who was has been waiting his whole life to be interviewed about these exact questions, and whose kid was bored out of their mind
    18000
  27. Fun fact: it can not move backwards. It can only move forwards until all its enemies are destroyed
    18000
  28. I can't believe how intelligent Gauss was, it's just incredible
    18000
  29. The transition to Penrose diagram was one of the smoothest I’ve ever seen. Never understood it until now
    18000
  30. Lots of trust in seatbelts for this video...
    17000
  31. "How about you just hire another barber?" Said the engineer
    17000
  32. LAMINAR FLOW IS BETTER. Obviously the Laminar Boundary Layer section was the best part of the video. (I jest.) In all seriousness though I thought you did an amazing job with this content Derek. Discussing the transition to turbulence is very difficult and you did a masterful job of it here. Animating Reynold’s experiment on the page was masterful. Your point that laminar flow must be small was very interesting, and when I saw the images from space I had a fun time thinking about what parts were laminar and what parts were turbulent. I’ll put a link to this video on the laminar flow video. All these nice things being said....I have something up my sleeve!
    17000
  33. I love seeing someone speak as passionately as this dude talks about his snowflakes, great content
    17000
  34. the biologist working with bacteria at boiling temperatures was named Freeze?? that is so perfect
    16000
  35. Man! Euler is that superhero backup that arrives just in time when all hope is lost!
    16000
  36. Walter Lewin, legendary physics lecturer, just cited this video of yours as the best explanation of the image, in case you didn't know.
    16000
  37. I have a bone to pick with public education. They way Amelia's story was told essentially boiled down to: "she disappeared mysteriously over the Pacific ocean and nobody know what happened". The full story is so much more interesting.
    16000
  38. The most interesting takeaway for me was, that different oceans require different strategies/ships. Until now, my perception of boat ranged from small to big, but not in the dimension of place of operation.
    16000
  39. "Why is it pulsing? I don't know...We try to understand." That's the scientific spirit perfectly encapsulated right there.
    15000
  40. I think it's wise to focus on family. Love you bro, great video.
    15000
  41. The thought of a 100km deep ocean on another planet is terrifying and fascinating. Hope we get answers in our lifetime!
    15000
  42. 2:22 Of course a PhD student would end up in a bakery after submitting their thesis
    15000
  43. Dude, the example with the rubix cube absolutely broke me. Even if you try to cheat and look at an edge it still tricks you. The Curiosity Show is a goldmine!
    15000
  44. Not gonna lie, I didn't understand 80% of this video, so the fact that it was still entertaining to me is a huge demonstration of your quality as a communicator and teacher.
    14000
  45. As someone in the analytical chemistry field, these standards are vital. It is how analytical labs are able to charge such a price for what seems to be them just analysing a sample.
    14000
  46. Seeing the game of life running inside the game of life gave me goosebumps. Had to pause for a minute to digest that. Just beautiful!
    13000
  47. So proud of you, this is such a GREAT SHOW!
    13000
  48. This video made the concept of glass very clear to me.
    13000
  49. I just love how enthusiastic Professor Strogatz was on seeing Professor Axelrod, like they were two good buddies
    13000
  50. "So what do you do for a living?" "Oh the usual, drive to an open field, walk a mile, and talk to myself for a bit."
    12000
  51. big plot twist: dinosaurs had nuclear technology and wiped themselves out
    12000
  52. "Put on headphones for the full experience." "Ok, will do." *deaf through church organ*
    12000
  53. I used to work at lowes. Our forklift forks were often dragged on concrete in outside garden such that the ends of them become razor sharp over the years. One time somebody left the fork up, and as I walked around an isle corner, my arm brushed along it. I didn't even realize until I had blood everywhere, because the cut was so clean. Immediately went to the adhesives isle, grabbed some super glue, and glued the wound shut instead of getting stitches. It healed perfectly.
    12000
  54. When your online argument with random people is so heated you ended up building a vehicle that seems to defy logic....
    11000
  55. It is so cool that the company showed you - idk how much - twelve? different reactions. Indoors, outdoors, in a veritasium logo, slow, fast, higher and lower temperature... A big thank you to this company!
    11000
  56. Respect for admiting to some mistakes. It's refreshing to see someone both rationally defend their side and also admit to some mistakes and fix said mistakes.
    11000
  57. Just from that thumbnail, I can already feel the pain of trying to remove super glue from your fingers
    11000
  58. Thanks for the shoutout. The cross-section demo was awesome!
    11000
  59. I have seen SO MANY Earhart documentaries over the years. I have never seen one that painted so clear a picture of what went wrong. Fantastic job.
    11000
  60. are you allowed to say that well its the truth the mark of a true scientist.
    10000
  61. Dude, maybe I'm biased because we're friends.... But your latest content had been consistently phenomenal. This is excellent.
    10000
  62. The rate of Veritasium and Mentour Pilot Video drops these past couple of weeks and yet with top quality delivery literally is out of this world. Edit: Wow.. 9k likes unbelievable
    10000
  63. 2 videos within 3 days?? Hell yeah
    10000
  64. Damn the explanation with the two sailboats was amazing.
    10000
  65. Everything else aside, your explanation of semiconductors & the stadium seats synergy made this complex topic so easy to understand. I hope they show this in schools.
    10000
  66. One of the rare videos that should literally be watched by everyone.
    10000
  67. Your “non-science” videos are just as wonderful as the rest. Thanks for the peek into the personal.
    10000
  68. "ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE" still gives me the chills.
    10000
  69. Two people getting excited to meet each other because they both respect the others work is the most wholesome thing
    10000
  70. Just beautiful, happy to be able to help
    10000
  71. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I mean, now I'm freaking out, but the video was so good.
    10000
  72. You missed the opportunity to post the link to this video as a QR code on your community page Edit: He did it let’s goooooooo
    9900
  73. The cut from "trees are incredibly effective at preventing landslides" to the saw and deforestation was 10/10. Great editing!
    9700
  74. Data removal levels: 1. Delete my data. 2. Delete my recycle bin. 3. Break hard drive. 4. It can't be data if it's liquid.
    9300
  75. Immense production value.
    9100
  76. I’m an optometrist and this is probably the best animation/display on optics I’ve ever seen. I wish they taught in schools like this. Simply incredible work 👏
    8100
  77. It's an amazing coincidence that the event horizon acts as a kind of "black shield", shielding the events inside from the outside world, and "black shield" is literally what "Schwarzschild" means in german.
    8100
  78. It's truly an Eureka moment when all the things just came out to be F=ma
    8000
  79. The FAA has been dragging their feet on approving unleaded aviation fuel for years even though a fleet-wide replacement (G100UL) has passed all of the necessary certification tests multiple times. Naturally, approving it would create economic winners and losers, so I guess that's the holdup?
    7900
  80. Hey Derek, i don't know who that guy is, but invite him as much as possible
    7900
  81. Telling Patterson's story in parallel with Midgley's is such a good choice, really shows that the side effects of leaded gasoline were not something unknown to the generation that implemented it. they just valued easy profit over human life. Though one thing that irks me about the way that science history (and most history for that matter) is presented by stories like these is showing Patterson alone on a boat or in the arctic gathering samples. Scientists work in teams and the research credited to Midgley or Patterson is not the work of one man but a whole bunch and the people who support them.
    7800
  82. This is a level of automaton that victorian makers could only dream of, and no advanced components either! This man is a modern day Da Vinci for sure.
    7700
  83. This was a fascinating insight into the origins of the mathematics that's so familiar. Wonderful. Thanks Derek!
    7700
  84. I really can't overstate how appreciative I am of these science history videos. It's easy in the STEM fields to forget the history soaked into the ideas we take for granted every day. I would like if Math classes gave a little glimpse into this - especially in primary schools. Maybe more kids would appreciate the importance of math and "when we would ever need this in real life".
    7500
  85. 5:07 - Typical Physics teacher. "Let's approximate this bird as a cube"
    7500
  86. Man, change "depressed quadratic" to an obscure magic spell and you literally get a fantasy duel story, complete with a sage old mentor, an underdog protagonist, an enchantment and a boastful proud villain wtf
    7400
  87. 1:28 Of course "Fred Joyner" was involved in developing an adhesive for joining things!
    7300
  88. One thing I adore about these videos is that they bring attention to history's forgotten heroes. Nakamura wasn't given the credit he deserved for the blue LED, and that video brought his contributions into the spotlight for millions. Now, Maupertuis has been given the spotlight and he can be recognized for his efforts alongside some of history's greatest mathematicians. If only he lived long enough to see this.
    7300
  89. You’ve always been a gigantic inspiration to me. I owe a lot to you and the other Edutubers who paved a little bit of the way for us. I’m glad for your growing family too, though, because Aunt Dianna needs some test subjects...
    7300
  90. It feels like so many discoveries simultaneously make the world better and scarier
    7300
  91. Feel like Derek is starting to notice his white hair
    7300
  92. I remember the day the alphafold 2 paper was published, my structural biology teachers were joking around saying like "we're out of a job now". Also, after a little while, we actually started using it in classes, it was impressive to see this fast of an adoption into the curriculum ! It actually felt like we lived through one of the big discoveries of our lifetimes.
    7200
  93. 37 and 73 being the 12th and 21st prime numbers is satisfying.
    7100
  94. This video was a roller coaster. I wasn't a believer, then I was a believer, and now I'm not again.
    6800
  95. OVER HALF AN HOUR OF CONTENT, youtube> TV any day
    6700
  96. Being wrong is painful, accepting that you’re wrong takes courage. Bet or no bet, I admire the professor and veritasium
    6600
  97. I used to work at the company that produces the microscope used in this video. I remember the day that I was approached by a quality engineer working on a brand new machine, and asked "Do you want to see atoms on TEM(the type of the microscope)". He was quite happy to show me a similar image to the one at 0:41 . He explained how the calibration must be successful for an atom to be observable, and he sounded proud of the outcome, carried on to tell me the stories of each machine on production line at that moment. To him, each of these devices was something akin to a musical instruments, made and tuned by hand, and hence, unique.
    6600
  98. Fantastic revisit! The animations and the simulations were spot-on, and great at showing the difference between the transient “first-second” effect, and the steady-state “rest of time” behavior. The whole “expanding loop of current” thing is a great way to phrase it, because after that poynting loop expands to match the actual physical loop of wire, then stuff starts to behave normally and all of the power is transmitted around the loop very close to the wire. I still hold that for this simple circuit, turning on a lightbulb with wires much smaller around than they are long, the effect of surface charge vs internal charge is negligible, so you can ignore any skin-effect stuff and say that “mobile” electrons are indeed pushing on other “mobile” electrons using their fields, but I totally agree that that’s a simplification, just a simplification that makes the intuition a lot easier. I also need to do some math about how far the average “electron” is displaced in order to build the initial charge distribution around some typical circuit elements - axial flow is the only way I understand those charge distributions getting built, and this whole endeavor has made me think hard about what that means. Someday when I think I understand it better I’ll edit up my pt.2 response video - thanks for the shoutout! I’ve got a great experiment in the works to show the “expanding poynting loop” 😁
    6600
  99. Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests are the perfect fusion of art, engineering, and evolution—it’s like watching nature reinvent itself through human creativity. The fact that these structures ‘walk’ with such elegance makes me wonder: are we looking at the blueprint for future bio-inspired robotics? Absolutely mind-blowing! Kudos to Veritasium for making a video about this masterpiece!
    6500
  100. Those drone shots were epic!
    6300
  101. This video was fantastic. I love how it embraced the philosophical implications. I thought Scott's comments at the end about the future of 3D printing rockets were very interesting. Man, what a great video.
    6200
  102. Wow, I forgot that rational and intelligent people who can have a disagreement, openly listen to arguments against their point of view, and then admit they were wrong and change their minds still exist. It's such a rare thing nowadays.
    6200
  103. when you aren't looking and mistake Prof. Alex's voice for Sal Khan

  104. I figured this out by accident when I did a (small) motorcycle build and wanted to see how tight I could make the steering stem to act as a ghetto "steering stabilizer". I tightened the steering stem to the point where it required a fair amount of force to turn the bars, and I almost fell off the bike when I let the clutch out. It was un-rideable. I had always thought gyroscopic procession was why the bike stayed stable, and immediately realized it was the abilty to constantly re-correct that keeps you from falling over. Would you consider doing a video on the mechanics of Trials bike riders?
    6100
  105. An aircraft mechanic here, One of the many reasons we pump in dry air and reduce moisture content in the aircraft cabin is because water molecules present in the air will freeze into small ice blocks at high altitude which will damage a lot of the pneumatic system components including important pressure regulating valves and possibly block filters leading to blockages.
    6100
  106. I'm disappointed that Casper missed the chance to say "I have lights, camera and action."
    6000
  107. I love these math videos because its so weirdly satisfying when you introduce another famous mathematician, and I'm like, "My man Euler was in this???". Its the same kind of excitement as the portal scene in Avengers endgame.
    6000
  108. As a train driver this was absolutely fascinating. Really gives me an appreciation for what the engineers do through the night when I clock off. Great video.
    5900
  109. It's crazy how two completely unrelated, seemingly useless discoveries can come together to form something so great. Goes to show that we should never assume something is pointless before trying it
    5900
  110. Veritasium: A study on skin cream is “apolitical” USA: hold my beer.
    5900
  111. Don’t ever go back making “television”. This is so much better. A great story from beginning to end with a spectacular entry of the main character. No spoilers, no previews. YouTube at its best. TV will never reach this level of storytelling. Hats off to your illustrator too.
    5800
  112. I love it when you tell me about a problem I didn’t know existed & then take me through how someone came up with an idea & fixed it!
    5800
  113. I'm consistently impressed by how well Derek presents anything educational. He was one of the first YouTubers who convincingly made me care about the world around me. Insane content for free.
    5700
  114. This is the kind of Veritasium Video I have been craving for. The one video which can change my perspective and connecting something abstract like maths to real life philosophies and mathematically proving it. Truly fascinating.
    5700
  115. "You have a much lower error rate than most youtubers" is probably the highest mark of approval you can get from a uni professor !!!
    5600
  116. I'm convinced Veritasium videos should come with a warning label: 'May cause existential contemplation and a sudden urge to rethink everything you thought you knew.' Seriously though, brilliant video as always
    5600
  117. This 10 minute video was better at teaching Bayes Theorem than my whole Stochastic Processes class in the university.
    5500
  118. My deepest respect to all the scientists, engineers and technicians behind these projects. Such endeavors are the pinnacle of humble collective effort of thousands of talented people. I am not a part of the mechanism, but that does not mean I cannot share my enthusiasm and show support for projects of this kind.
    5500
  119. Great Title!!
    5500
  120. As an aerospace engineer, I pray for the day some random person walks up to me and asks me the questions Derek asked at the beginning of the video.
    5400
  121. Me: Where should we eat? Girlfriend: Mathematics is not yet ripe enough for such question
    5300
  122. Hi Veritasium and Derek. I'm a descendant of a Katana blacksmith in Japan. The craft in my family has been continued up to the end of Edo era and no one is a blacksmith anymore, but my family had swords inherited from our ancestors. Thank you very much for your appreciation for the art of sword making in Japan. I enjoyed this video more than any other videos of yours since I found you 9-10 years ago. I've watched every single one of them since then.
    5300
  123. Your clarity and efforts are always appreciated. — When I see a new Veritasium video, I'm glued to my screen.
    5300
  124. when you said “first in a series” and the video was 35 minutes long I got very excited
    5300
  125. Good animations ❤
    5300
  126. As a mechanical engineer, I can't explain the level of satisfaction I get after watching Strandbeest march along the beach in an era when electronics are so accessible. It feels like purity.
    5200
  127. Well this was really sweet, you're the coolest Derek
    5200
  128. This guy is a bad ass. Great interviewee
    5100
  129. This is hands down the best explanation of a black hole I've ever heard.
    5100
  130. Veritasium's videos now have better production than most documentaries i watched as a kid (and are more informative)!
    5100
  131. Veritasium + Mentour wasnt a collab I was expecting! Both era defining channels I would say.
    5000
  132. This was astoundingly relevant to--almost a summary of--my History of Science: The Digital Age course, for which I have a final for tomorrow. This video is practically a 'further reading' section. Thank you for this.
    5000
  133. We have to appreciate his consistency and dedication towards making high-quality videos like this ( I guess he uploads weekly now)
    5000
  134. everyone gangster until a strandbeest becomes self conscious
    5000
  135. Well, you deserve a sub just for the presentation on paper
    5000
  136. "JUST GO WITH WHAT FEELS LIKE IS SLOWING YOU DOWN" SCIENCE!!!!!!!!
    4900
  137. This Comment is for Maupertuis.
    4800
  138. Derek: works hard, makes smart science video internet: oh, look, there's a fly!
    4800
  139. 1:18 I never realized the innocent little snell's law they teach us in class was so deep.
    4700
  140. Listening to people talking about their life’s passion is my favorite thing ever
    4600
  141. 5:04 "assume the cow is a sphere in a frictionless vacuum" type approximation
    4400
  142. Nobody starts at the end. You're supposed to be bad on camera in the beginning! It's been fun watching your journey.
    4400
  143. It's amazing that Theo Jansen didn't have computer education. He invented the names for his device components himself. One Japanese reporter once pointed that a component was a NAND gate, but he said he named it LIAR SWITCH because it went the inverse of the input.
    4300
  144. -Who is responsible for finding the kuiper belt? -I found the kuiper belt. That's the real THUG LIFE!
    4300
  145. 14:55 Burns the finger "Ouch! This thing is a ffFFffffocal" 😁
    4300
  146. Waiting eagerly for the next part. Please take the least possible time !
    4200
  147. I have to commend you for hiring actual artists for this piece. I am too often disappointment when I see influencers I've watched for years turn to AI. Keep up the great work as always, and thanks for supporting artists :)
    4200
  148. I'm a PhD in computer science. This is a full-on Discrete Mathematics intro course. This is amazing.
    4200
  149. This is great, I knew the story already, but the presentation is excellent.
    4100
  150. When I was doing research in computer graphics more than 10 years ago, I came up with an algorithm to simulate rigid body mechanisms with thousands of joints efficiently. However, initially I had trouble getting my paper through peer-review, partly because most of my examples were rather far-fetched and contrived. Theo Jansen's Strandbeest turned out to be the perfect scalable, real-world example to demonstrate the advantages of my method and the paper got accepted. So I'm really grateful that he published the "genetic code" of his genius walking machines. Also thanks for the great video :)

  151. My new favourite video from you Derek!
    4000
  152. Would have never clicked for strange applications of Magnus Effect!! But I click on every video of yours now, irrespective of thumbnail or title :)
    4000
  153. "You're confident that I'm not going to damaged?" "Not permanently"
    3900
  154. So cool to see Bill getting the chance to talk to Derek!
    3900
  155. Love what he said at the end. To be able to understand things as complex as the formation of snowflakes, even if it isn't remotely "useful", is a testament to our humanity. People like him who are curious and can share his passion with the world, recognize that knowledge is not a means to an end, it's an end in itself.
    3900
  156. Will enough UV exposure cause heavy damage to the skin? Or will it only cause... light damage?
    3800
  157. Chris from "Clickspring" is building an Antikytherean mechanism and has been building it using period tools and techniques to the best of the experts knowledge...the ww1/2 analog firing computers are still incredibly advanced and smartly built tbh. They are just insanely accurate for as little input as they take and what they can interpret and output for solutions
    3800
  158. "How do I put this..." at 6:05. Nice Derek, nice.
    3600
  159. "And you're sure that this isn't just to make people look stupid?" "No, no, no. That's just a bonus."
    3500
  160. These sets are absolutely incredible! It’s insane how far veritasium has come!
    3500
  161. I think every parent should watch this. "Be nice, be forgiving, but not a pushover" is quite literally what I want my kids to grow up understanding. What a cool video
    3400
  162. Last time I was this early, half the Universe was still missing.
    3400
  163. The BEST non-clickbait clickbait video I've ever seen!
    3400
  164. dude i love her spongebob chair thats fire
    3400
  165. The inventor must have been grinning so hard in that shot where he's holding the wind sock. Basically got the best shot possible with great equipment that he was right all along.
    3400
  166. Well done sir. Everything about this is awesome. Also, I needed you to cut every string and you did so thanks for that.
    3300
  167. "You should put on headphones" :) Gets organed
    3300
  168. This is the kind of content I love about Veritasium: access to brilliant people, look behind the scenes and wonderful, in depth interviews! Thank you!
    3300
  169. There's nothing better than a Veritasium molecular biology video on a cold winter day
    3300
  170. need to fold a piece of paper 7 times with that
    3200
  171. You need to get Tom Scott to try this; he's the expert!
    3200
  172. Hell yeah! Thanks for letting me fly through the finale!! Biggest Adrenalin rush while flying ever! Felt like I was in Star Trek or something!
    3200
  173. Son: "Dad, why are rainbows curved?" Derek: "You'll have to wait until I finish productionizing a 27m video in order to get to know the answer."
    3200
  174. This is the best explanation of how quantum superiority breaks the RSA algorithm (and also the best explanation of a possible solution to the problem) I have ever heard. I know how hard it is to teach a complicated subject in a clear and simple manner. Well done!
    3200
  175. "You must get pretty sick of answering questions about The Martian." JPL Guy: "Yes." (unspoken) "Including that one." Hee hee
    3100
  176. Awesome my dude.
    3100
  177. I also learned recently thermite is used to form continuous copper ground bonds at broadcast tower sites! It's cool to see it in action.
    3100
  178. Clickbait title✓ Quality content✓ Perfectly balanced as all things should be
    3100
  179. 7 Veritasium videos in the last month is actually insane.
    3100
  180. When Derek said the Strandbeest was invented 34 years ago, I was expecting footage from the 70's, not 1990.
    3100
  181. As a pilot who's been lost before as well as one who's flown over large bodies of water in single engine aircraft, I have at least a basic understanding of just how challenging what she attempted was and how your mind can start to run away with incorrect or fatalistic assumptions if not trained or rested properly. My heart sank for her as the story progressed. She had a lot of odds stacked against her and she has my deepest sympathy and respect.
    3100
  182. It always amazes me how Veritasium can tell you about fascinating topics that you didn't even know existed. After every video I feel like I can understand the world at least a tiny bit more.
    3000
  183. Props to Derek for permanently letting a projector shine into his eyes for the whole record.
    3000
  184. 23:23 I love how the person representing the team of researchers who are trying to solve the one of the greatest modern problems (the plastic problem) has a SpongeBob gaming chair
    3000
  185. This is such an interesting topic for youtubers. How a super small change in the title/thumbnail could provide a drastic change in the results of the video, while still trying to stay true to the actual content
    3000
  186. Nice video. I also admire your courage for trying to send 10000 half liquid filled black balls all around the world!
    2900
  187. I just waited 10 seconds for someone to sneeze. bless you. what is my life.
    2800
  188. So another example of 42 being the fundamental answer to everything. Awesome video! As always
    2800
  189. Both videos were successful in that they taught many people, including myself, a very interesting aspect of electricity.
    2800
  190. 15:34 the smile on Derek's face when he was compared to Euler made my day.
    2800
  191. I'm sorry did you just tell me that this tiny robot exits water by splitting it up into its constituent atoms and then exploding it?
    2800
  192. The fact that these all need wires supplying electricity constantly makes insects even more impressive.
    2800
  193. Man this was so great to watch. Legitbait is hard when you’re overthinking. How can one get in touch with these title and thumbnail experts? 😅🤝
    2800
  194. Can we just appreciate how well animated and produced this video is? God, so much effort.
    2800
  195. There is so much to know about glass you barely scratched the surface. Topics like tempering glass, Prince Rupert drops, amorphous metals, Soviet era unbreakable tumblers, it would take hours to cover. Loves the video
    2700
  196. I learned the water acting as a catalyst thing decades ago working as an electrical engineer. The LocTite rep was in the plant and handing out samples and stuff (that was always great, he'd give us bags of goodies with adhesives I'd never even heard of) and held a presentation in the break room for whoever wanted to attend. Which was pretty much everybody. Someone asked him a question why they were having issues with a certain adhesive they were using in the clean room. He said "What's the relative humidity in there?" They said "Oh, we keep that place dry as a bone." He laughed and said "You didn't read the data sheet, for dry environments you need to lightly wet the surfaces with a fine mist sprayer. We sell one just for this purpose." And I said "You mean that superglue needs water to cure?" He said "Yes, absolutely. It's critical. Just not too much."
    2700
  197. I find this fascinating. It confirms one of my favorite quotes, "do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error".
    2700
  198. I love how they are crouching at the entrance explaining neuroscience. 😆
    2700
  199. Kinda crazy how after 10 years Derek is still just as interesting as ever with the simple aim of science education. Like... he’s never had to change his channel’s main output style or type. That’s cool 😎
    2600
  200. I'm 77 years old and this video is by far the absolute best presentation and explanation on Earhart's disastrous last flight. You did an excellent job of breaking down the technical problems and explaining it to a general audience. Would love to see the bonus Patreon vid, but I am disabled, below poverty line. I do not understand why almost 99% of other media does cheap tabloid versions of Earhart's final flight. Thanks again for such a superb investigation and researched video. Dima
    2600
  201. "Hey there's the southern hemisphere" "Also there're 2 earths" gets me 😂
    2600
  202. I sailed in the US Navy as a Radioman/IT for 25 years and then 5 years on commercial ships. An old hand on my first commercial ship told me "You get careless out here, danger will find you". He was correct about sailing and life in general.
    2600
  203. Honestly, one of the channels that got me into creating videos.
    2600
  204. I’d never been satisfied with the simple “sunlight is scattered by water droplets” explanation as it felt like it left too many questions; this video has answered every one of those questions, succinctly and comprehensively. Incredibly well done!
    2500
  205. I am getting my PhD in materials science and use a TEM almost every day. Veritasium is a HUGE reason I chose to pursue science / research. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a video!!
    2500
  206. My subconscious knows, but my conscious mind doesn't - wild. This is true in so many areas of our lives.
    2500
  207. 9:01 Honesty goes a long way to build trust. I love how he admits that the discovery was accidental rather than researched.
    2500
  208. You should really be GOGGLED UP for this bro 🤓
    2500
  209. I absolutely love how this super-knowledgable scientist you interviewed has a spongebob gamer chair (11:05)!
    2500
  210. Gun is still telling drew to scroll to the bottom on phone to find the comments when they are indeed at the top.
    2400
  211. Hypothesis: Veritasium holds a camera to interview and has someone filming him holding a camera to interview because he has no tripod
    2300
  212. Newton schooled himself on Brilliant during the bubonic plague quarantine
    2300
  213. I generally dont leave comments. But I felt I had to write this down. 24 years ago when I took my physics class as a first year under grad student, I was quickly introduced to the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian in a physics class with just the equations thrown around. There were books in the library which provided tons of equations but never the intuition behind them. It was assumed that the reader knew why this had to be the case. I never got back to digging this deeper as my primary area of focus had shifted to other subjects. But after so many years I am finally happy to see the beautiful thought process behind them. Really appreciate you for making such valuable and interesting content.
    2300
  214. Chuck Norris called and said that he was missing one of his warm up Dumbells.
    2200
  215. This is important for those of us who have been out in the ocean and facing 50-70' waves. The US Navy has lost 16 ships due to weather since 1900 and many more prior to that. So as a former sailor I can understand how important this pool and the study of Hull design is.
    2200
  216. You can feel how much Ken likes learning about snowflakes from his face. He was enthusiastic from the start to the end of the video.
    2200
  217. Such an honor to be small part of this video. And thank you for the credit and linking my video! Right until the end, I was like - ‘but you can’t prove that it indeed takes all the path, it’s just a model. Kind of like how you can’t prove that forces or energies exist.’ But that demo at the end completely blew my mind! What a fantastic sequel 🎉
    2200
  218. Fascinating video. Potash is also mined at the Bonneville Salt Flats outside of Wendover, Utah, which is like this place one of the stranger landscapes you'll ever see on Earth. Looking forward to more! -John
    2200
  219. "Is this Science or Garbage? ... Dutch Art." Nah this is The Best Thing I've Ever Seen.
    2200
  220. Veritasium: Trying hard to explain gravitational lens Me: 6:28 Smiley face
    2100
  221. Congratulations! You still make some of the best content on YouTube!
    2100
  222. veritasium changed my life, from almost quitting school to mechanical engineering
    2100
  223. Imagine his neighbors watching him go outside for ten seconds with a weird face, sneeze, then go back inside
    2100
  224. I'm so glad to see you posting more. Thank you for continuing to educate us.
    2100
  225. The extra depth showing exactly how this works was great. Thank you.
    2100
  226. That fly on 5:25 was like "you want to challenge me, mortal?!"
    2100
  227. "Gravity is an illusion." Eugh, FINALLY! [floats off, to get groceries]
    2100
  228. I've been working as a metallurgist in rail manufacturing, welding, and failure analysis around the world for 40 years and this is far and away the best explanation of the thermite welding process that I have ever seen.
    2000
  229. I love the line, "...disagreements are not problems. They are opportunities for everyone to learn something." This should be a motto for many aspects in our lives.
    2000
  230. There was a brief moment while reading Hofstedter's Gödel, Escher, Bach where I felt I truly understood the concepts... This video brought me right back to that feeling! Very well written, presented, and produced! BRAVO!
    1900
  231. I use “clickworthy”
    1900
  232. "What I love about science is that disagreements are not problems. They are opportunities for everyone to learn something." That was beautiful and you're totally right.
    1900
  233. Your explanation was so good that at 18:45 when you said 'why is it brighter under a rainbow than above?', I already knew the answer, despite not even being aware of such a phenomenon 20 minutes ago. That's the hallmark of a great explanation.
    1900
  234. One significant thing to always appreciate about Derek is that although some of these concepts may be simple or so, he does not dare bash any of those that he interviews for not knowing answers to his questions. He guides them through this journey of gaining a new perspective on misconceptions or something that most do not think about on the daily. He really lives up to his channel name!
    1900
  235. "Should I go out tonight or should I stay in my hole" - my spirit animal the scorpion, apparently

  236. 3:07 that kick though 😂😂
    1900
  237. One big application of Mersenne primes, that came from studying perfect numbers, is a good random number generator. RNGs had been historically very bad, until the introduction of Mersenne Twister in 1997, which uses a property of Mersenne primes to prove a good randomness. The most popular version uses a Mersenne prime 2^19937 - 1 for example, hence the name MT19937. There exist much more performant RNGs than Mersenne Twister now, but Mersenne Twister is still widely used thanks to its initial impact.
    1900
  238. The power this man wields is astonishing
    1800
  239. All this Improvement in cars, and so little improvement in car drivers. Hopefully, self-driving cars will make things much safer.
    1800
  240. "When attempting any challenging endeavor, you need someone with the right knowledge who will also take responsibility for getting things right." This is so true. Too many projects fail due to unknowledgeable people in charge or knowledgeable people not taking enough responsibilities.
    1800
  241. How do you post a freaking masterpiece of a video every week? Holy smokes have you been killing it recently.
    1800
  242. I really like the bit about 0% or 100% certainty.... it explains a lot of things.
    1700
  243. What a Legend! I absolutely love people working on Analog tech. As a Software engineer, everyone around me is just putting on a microprocessor on things and calling it a day.
    1700
  244. happy new year🎉
    1700
  245. Now you and Destin can go on bike rides together
    1700
  246. Love that Scott is credited as "Internet Rocket Scientist". Just how he describes himself, and incredibly accurate 😂
    1700
  247. It's so fascinating to see the dots being connected from finance to math to a physics breakthrough, science is beautiful
    1700
  248. Fun Fact: While in most languages, the glues aspect of being super strong is emphasized (Super Glue), some other languages such as Dutch or German emphasize it's short bonding time by calling it "Sekundenkleber" / "Secondelijm" (Glue of Seconds / Instant Glue).
    1600
  249. VSauce, and Veritasium posting on the same day... EPIC
    1600
  250. This was intense enough to be made into a Netflix original dramatic series.
    1600
  251. My Mom was the project manager for the first mass spectrometer you mentioned (MISE)!! and one of the project managers for an instrument on the ESA JUICE mission you talked about (RIME). I had the honor to hear Dr. Pappalardo give a deeply heart-felt speech as well as meet many of the people who played a role in getting Europa Clipper and her various instruments into space the night before the launch on the 14th at the pre-launch event in Florida. Then had the amazing opportunity to be an invited guest for one of the private viewing areas and sitting among the same people I met the night before at Kennedy Space Center. Seeing you specifically talk about a mission that I've been quite involved in just by extension through my mom brought a smile to my face and one to hers when I shared your video. The crowd couldn't stop cheering from engine ignition to atmospheric escape. Thank you for making this video!
    1600
  252. Not enough props are given to the animators of these videos. Absolutely amazing.
    1600
  253. “I think I’ll go for a nice calming walk on the beach OH GOSH WHAT IS THAT”
    1600
  254. A whip breaking the sound barrier.
    1500
  255. The last message of the video was truly a powerful one. As an engineer, it resonated with me. You have to have proper knowledge to take on the responsibility.
    1500
  256. First sentence: topic introduction Second sentence: „a study in 2004 ...“ This is how I like my YouTube.
    1500
  257. i was following this internet debate like 15 years ago, when it spanned three different message boards, including 30 maxed out threads at talk rational. i can't believe it's still going on. that fight was BRUTAL
    1500
  258. New Mars lander and a new veritasium video? Today is a good day! 👏👏👏
    1500
  259. I just saw another brazilian watching this video on the supermarket while waiting for his Uber. It was a somewhat old dude with his daughter. You've become massive, man. Great to see it.
    1500
  260. Way back in some of your older vids you were wandering through places in Sydney I recognised and I was like whoa, people I look up to on YouTube could really do this from Australia. It became tangible and was a huge inspiration to me getting started and finding a love for sharing knowledge on this platform. Thank you Derek. Here's to 10 more!
    1500
  261. Nicely done Derek (from the co-designer/builder of the Blackbird)
    1500
  262. I wish I had as much passion at anything as Rana does about cleaning glass
    1400
  263. absolutely looooved this video!!
    1400
  264. The thruster control module was probably the coolest thing I've seen all year.
    1400
  265. "And to this day, no one has beat that car on a public road..." Koenigsegg did it just the other day when they took an Agera up to 488 on a section of highway in America - it is on their YouTube channel.
    1400
  266. Props to the professor for being humble and dedicated to truth. This was an incredible series of videos. Also Xyla is awesome! Love her videos too! Congratz to everyone involved.
    1400
  267. I work in optics and have two degrees in the field. I’ve heard explanations of the rainbow multiple times, whether in class or at conferences, and can say that this one is certainly one of the best: both because it deals with the maths both (relatively) comprehensively and intuitively, and (more importantly) it really speaks to the curious, awe stricken child in all of us very effectively. He even snuck in a (very) simplified explanation of light-matter interaction and refractive index just to make sense of the differing emergent angles for different wavelengths. Bravo!
    1400
  268. The world is a better place with your science videos in it. Keep amazing us Derek — Kyle

  272. It is awesome to see you talk about such current research in Astrophysics. As a Phd student who grinds these papers every day it is a joy to see you manage to share these concepts so understandable and yet very accurately. It is a joy to watch!
    1400
  273. Who needs notification when you're on youtube 24/7 😂😂😂

  275. I am a theoretical physicist, have thought about synchronization (resonance) for many years, and still I learned from this presentation. Thank you.
    1300
  276. PLEASE, I BEG YOU - continue doing collaborations with Prof. Strogatz!! The combination of TWO of the greatest "explainers" of our time is producing absolutely compelling stories!!
    1300
  277. 4:18 He said all other videos about the rainbow are oversimplifications, so to be true to his word, he asked 3B1B for permission to use the most detailed explanation for electromagnetic waves and refraction that I know of as his source. Absolute legends, both of you.👍
    1300
  278. Honestly let's give a big props to the editing and animation on these recent videos. Feels like I'm watching a TedEd video, with Derek's narration. It's only getting better!!!
    1300
  279. I'm actually incredibly interested in that jelly fish he was making.
    1200
  280. Veritasium has now surpassed the quality of netflix docementaries. Really one of the best videos on math i have ever seen. Well done Ve. Cant wait for part 2
    1200
  281. I live in the Sierra Nevada. Last winter, a large avalanche buried a several mile section of highway under 30-50 feet of concrete-like debris, essentially leaving my town cutoff from the north. It took them a month to clear it and even longer to make the necessary repairs! This winter, a dear friend of mine was fully buried for nearly 13 minutes in a large Persistent Slab Avalanche. Miraculously, he survived with only scrapes and bruises. Spot on video and messaging!
    1200
  282. It’d be cool if YouTube let us upload multiple thumbnail/title combos with each video. It would show each of the combos to different sets of people, then depending on which one has the best CTR, it would start to show that one more and more to the masses.
    1200
  283. the correct way to start a new year!! Thank you Veritasium
    1200
  284. "This sounds a little CGP Grey." Awesome
    1200
  285. Thank you for your commitment to informing the public about science and technology in general, and physics in particular. I would like to support you for taking your time and effort doing so! Your content contributions are always greatly appreciated! Regards Greg Scopel
    1200
  286. The recount by Bruce Tremper of his narrow escape from an avalanche is a sobering reminder of the raw power of nature.
    1100
  287. 1:23 finally someone explained surface tension in a way my brain understands edit: it’s the animation, I’m talking about the animation
    1100
  288. The making of a legend. You have come so far. Proud of you.
    1100
  289. I don't think that there is any other channel that brings such kind of interesting technical content in such lucid terms.
    1100
  290. Vertitasium must have hired so much (many) more people recently, the amount of videos recently at this production quality is astonishing
    1100
  291. I was a foreman on rail thermite crews for about 6 years, and this video is awesome! They need to start showing this video in our training classes. We get the handbook and go over what we should/shouldn't do, but gloss over a lot of 'why' we should/shouldn't do these things. It's also interesting to see the little differences in welding procedures, one I noticed was that after we shear the weld, we put an insulating jacket over the rail to slow the cooling process even further. Another is when first fitting the two halves of the mold to the rail, we hold the molds tight to the rail and grind them against eachother side to side to help get a tight seam. Not as necessary on new rail, but essential on old worn-out tracks. Looking forward to the next video!
    1100
  292. It is incredible how you can explain complex topic in 20 minutes that everyone grab a basic concept of it. Love it. Keep it going.

  294. 22:17 I cried in this exact moment. 2 hours ago, my nephrologist told me that probably I'm starting to loose my kidney trasplant because of my autoimmune disease. and I just put your amazing channel once again and discovered your incredibly helpful channel and the encouraging work of this people, saying they are just excited to work on cancer and autoimmune diseases. glory to you all. you all have a helping hand here when needed ❤
    1000
  295. Real pleasure to be a part of the video! What an incredible instrument this is :) Thanks!
    1000
  296. Great video and thanks for the shout out! I was wondering why our UV footage at Death Valley was so hazy in the distance, now I know why!
    1000
  297. Even got the updated Betelgeuse distance from just this week Nice touch
    1000
  298. I love how you take a vacation in completely other countries. You make it entertaining and educational for your fans Also how the video was edited
    1000
  299. Derek, great job. How wonderful that you had a chance to see the actual flight hardware before it was buttoned up and installed on the rover.
    1000
  300. I've been living under a rock and only now discovered your channel, to which I subscribed today. All the best!
    1000
  301. Great video Derek! Pertinent in an age where people aren't willing to listen to each other and only attempt to persuade , ending up in even more biased and extreme positions. It was also a good example of how cognitive dissonance works both ways. I could feel myself getting frustrated at the first 3 minutes of the video when I believed you to be proposing an "unscientific" concept. Thanks for being a great example of how we can make science more well received by the general public by making it less patronizing. Science shouldn't be polarising.

  302. Derek: and 10kms? “10kms are a thousand times more hopeless.” The end of humanity never sounded so funny
    991
  303. Being an ex airline pilot, who flew across the Pacific regularly, I found the presentation utterly fascinating, thank you! 🙏🏻
    991
  304. I am an optical engineer and at the end of one of our optics courses the prof gave us a 90 minute lecture on the topic of rainbows. It was incredible and convinced me to do something with light in my professional life. Your visual explanations gave birth to that what the prof taught us 15ish years ago. Thank you!
    985
  305. Dr. Shapiro is crazy good on camera. Also, I found the multi-step approach to affect the specific region of the brain to be fascinating. It feels like unlocking a box with seven different locks on it.
    983
  306. In the information era where most of people are distracted these type of videos are blessing 👀
    982
  307. Really important safety fact for people doing this at home, one that almost cost me an eye: Thermite CAN ignite with a blowtorch if it's in small enough quantities (think spoonful or so) and if it's FINELY POWDERED aluminum and iron oxide. It takes a while to ignite with a blowtorch so the whole pile heats up to ~1000 °C. Under those conditions, the reaction happens violently, like flash powder, and sprays molten slag and metal blobs everywhere at high speed. Only though luck or the grace of God was I not seriously injured when I found that out, since I was within arms reach holding the blowtorch. Always take precautions and wear eye protection and other protective gear when working with energetic materials!

  308. WAIT A MINUTE Did you propose to your wife outside my goddamn house in Oslo!!?? How did I not know of this, omg, minor heart attack, okay I´m fine.

  309. In case Tom is interested, the nail with 37 on it is a date nail. These were hammered into the wooden ties that the rails of train tracks were spiked to. Sometimes on the end of the tie, sometimes on top. They were commonly collected by railroad fans who, by doing so, stymied the purpose of the nails. It helped keep track (no pun intended) of how long the ties had been there … and possibly have some indication of when the tie should be replaced (ties in dry climates would need to be replaced less frequently than those in wetter climates). There types of nails (as well as a kind of ‘spike’ that looks a bit like a strange, two pronged bottle cap) were also used on telegraph/telephone poles and on utility poles … particularly ones that ran along beside the tracks. (All of this is my best recollection of info. Any inaccuracies are on me). I hope that Tom finds the clarification of what his 37 nail means, interesting. :- )

  310. You know it’s a good day when you get a notification saying “the fungus on your head”
    932
  311. "Yoooo... what the heck is this tiny rainbow?" 2 years later "I have discovered a way to detect and observe particles that were previously only theorized to exist." Madlad.
    926
  312. Two YouTube legends: Veritasium and Mentour Pilot. Both in the peak of their game. Simply awesome.
    922
  313. Wow! This should be shown in every school. The combination of so many subjects explained in a relatable and understandable way is extremely eyeopening. Imagine a day where you watch this video and discuss it in different classes: chemistry, history, biology, ethics, physics. You could even relate it to art with painters like Otto Dix. I think that's what's missing a lot at ordinary schools: A tangible well connected story, making one understand why this knowledge is important and useful. Great work, Veritasium-Team!
    922
  314. i haven't actually thought about the amount of effort put into all these videos until now. this one was truly incredible, so were all the other videos! thank y'all so much!
    919
  315. Veritasium: "WAIT! SO, YOU'RE TELLING ME!!!???" Compliant Engineer: "yup"
    917
  316. After watching countless videos trying to understand this topic, this is honestly the only one that I can follow through! Well done and please keep cranking more videos. Thank you so much!
    905
  317. This was an amazing video, Derek. I love how you’ve doubled down on YouTube in recent years. I so hope early high-school students get shown this as a motivating factor for much of high-school math. Wow. I feel envious of them to have this at their age while I see it now at 36.
    897
  318. I really appreciate how versatile your content is, Derek. Im a biochem major, and have watched your content for years thank you!
    887
  319. Mostly Canadian™

  320. Gödel was also first to ask P vs NP question and he asked it in the letter to John von Neuman. Those dudes had some world changing conversations.
    865
  321. As a polymer scientist, I was super glued to the screen for 26 mins straight!! What a great video about the discovery and uses of this incredible Cyano-Acrylate polymer !! The scientist lady was so cool too.. thanks derek for this video..
    862
  322. Me personally holding a degree of Masters in Physics, still this guy, with every video, brings out the attention to something which seemed to me very trivial in the first go but never gave a second thought, and blows my mind every single time. I don't know how Derek does it. Best youtube channel I've ever subscribed to.
    856
  323. Man, veritasium has become one of the best youtube channels on youtube period. The quality and length of these documentaries are just top tier.
    850
  324. Thanks for being one of the best educational YouTubers on this site.
    840
  325. Your path to Youtube was very unique, but I still thought that it was eerily similar to mine. I was also stuck in that mode of following a fixed path through academia, but I always felt like it was missing the creative part that I needed. I ended up quitting my chem masters and I intended to apply to film school. However, before I was able to do that, the Youtube channel had taken off and I was able to shift my focus to it. The first couple of years were shaky with a lot of doubts, but now I don't see how I could do anything else.
    839
  326. Haters will say it’s CGI
    832
  327. Titles and thumbnails are the thing I stress about the most. This was very insightful. Thank you!
    830
  328. You're an inspiration!

  330. It's refreshing to hear a positive story around AI. I've been getting nervous about it since all I see on social media are people using AI to spread fake information/videos.
    818
  331. Great video. I have been working for months on my own updated video with the topic of sidereal days, so those interested may find a few surprises not covered here. It's a wonderful topic and makes me realize how little astronomy we learn.
    816
  332. A gentleman’s bet for sure. Sounds like the journey was more rewarding than the spoils. Congratulations. I like how you chose to pay it forward.
    802
  333. I like how you asked us what colors would represent odd and even numbers before making this video. And according to the results for most people the odd numbers would be red and even numbers would be blue just like they are in this video.
    798
  334. Fantastic video as always! Very glad I could participate 🙏
    782
  335. Peter is such a good producer. Like he keeps getting crazy access to crazy places and then when he's on camera he's just like "it's gonna be great". So humble, but if you know how much work he's doing it's absolutely insane humility.
    779
  336. I remember seeing those videos of strandbeest on YouTube when I was a kid. I thought they were fascinating, like something out of a movie. The design is a perfect combination of beauty and genius
    779
  337. I had no idea this question went viral after we published it! But I'm glad experiment matched theory. And to everyone who said we should have directed students to neglect the rotor wash, I completely agree. You try to eliminate as many gotchas as you can in editing, but you can never get them all...
    776
  338. Only Veritasium could make a political video that increases my faith in humanity
    774
  339. “Feel what’s slowing you down and do that”- an expert 😬
    770
  340. "Platypus also fluoresce" Why am I not surprised? Nothing about Platypus surprises me anymore

  341. Well, I have three salt lamps, and I've always been skeptical to the whole negative ion thing. I still enjoy them because they are nice to look at, and provide a nice level of low light conducive to my circadian rhythm in the evening. What I especially like about this debunking is that anyone who has these lamps can go forth and spend less money in the long run on both bulbs and electricity by using LED night light bulbs instead, because who cares if it produces less heat. Thanks for the info!
    745
  342. So basically, Veritasium is a huge nerd. i like it.
    728
  343. I really appreciate you making this. For a while, I didn't watch a lot of your videos, precisely because I found the over-the-top thumbnails and titles to be really annoying. But, now that you've explained it, I feel a lot more alright with watching you despite that, and I've really enjoyed the stuff I've seen because of it. I don't how many people are in the same camp, but I hope they find this video, too.
    725
  344. I swear Petr always gets sent out to the most random places. Next video is about the sun "so we sent Petr out to the surface of the sun"
    724
  345. Euler truly was a legend. In his later years he unfortunately started going blind but would still continue to do maths by feel, writing it down, for a few more years.
    724
  346. almost brought tears to my eyes when you concluded with “and that, my son…” i think it’s beautiful that what fuelled you to make this video for the whole world to see is your quest to thoroughly answer question from your own child. thank you
    723
  347. Imagine taking eons to make a musical instrument
    716
  348. If everyone realized how bad they are on camera when they first start, youtube wouldn't exist. I'm glad you stuck with it. (I'm also equally glad you got a lot better. ;) )
    715
  349. 0:00 A legend was Born

  351. Quality or Quantity, choose one and choose wisely Derek from Veritasium: I choose them both ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    708
  352. When I see long distance, low frequency waves carrying energy all the way from a storm to the coastline, that's just swell.

  355. One could say the guys making aerogels are aerosmiths. Steven Tyler would be proud.
    681
  356. As an Aerospace Engineer, first thought was absolutely, no way this works. Then I remember tacking sailboats, right before you mentioned them, and thought, okay maybe this is possible. The last explanation was fantastic and clearly demonstrates it is possible. There is a lot of energy in that wind, the propeller just allows you to pull a bit more energy out than you would otherwise be able to.
    669
  357. You know what was amazing, is to see such excitement of every person interviewed in this video, including you Derek! Truly amazing, what a great future!
    666
  358. I feel that "Metersen's colleague" should definitely get at least a name check here! So, hat tip to Sven Skyum, reader emeritus at Department of Computer Science, University of Aarhus.
    653
  359. What happened to the redefinition of the kilogram video?
    649
  360. The level of precision needed to correct spherical aberration is mind-blowing. Seeing atoms clearly was once a dream; now, thanks to innovation, it's a reality.
    649
  361. 3:38 I love his sense of humor. "We know who's fault this is" lol!
    645
  362. "We’re still getting big plants, and they wouldn’t grow that well if they weren’t getting the nutrients they need" Not true. You get large leafy plants by adding nitrogen, farmers do that in spades to increase yields. But nutritional content comes from micronutrients, and farmers have been depleting those for 60 years. It’s a similar dilution mechanism to the one described for CO2. Adding climate change into the mix would exacerbate the problem. In short, it doesn’t have to be one or the other.
    642
  363. As a first year physics student, these types of videos are incredibly valuable! I legitimately cannot explain how incredible it is to walk the line of simple explaination vs specificity and detail that you and your team walk perfectly. Thank you so much, it makes me so happy that there are science educators such as yourself following in Euler's footsteps, teaching with empathy, clarity, and clear passion!
    642

  365. As a 33 year old who doesnt feel he has reached his lifes purpose or dreams, a guy who lives alone without a family.... your story fills me with hope and inspiration for my future. Your reflection is so deep and your content now is better than its ever been. THanks for sharing :)
    641
  366. Still going strong after all these years. And not a bit of quality loss. Love it man. Thank you.
    640
  367. As an ex-aerodynamicist, you bring back many happy memories of using Schlieren systems to investigate transonic flows over a whole bunch of different shapes. You might like to try to produce "colour Schlieren", where you replace the razor blade with a discrete colour filter - we used to use different coloured bits of transparent gel used in theatre lighting. The only problem is to get the filter small enough to produce the desired colour changes. But it's great fun trying! Good luck.
    637
  368. We may now know the secret of synchronization, but we will never know the secret to how Veritasium edits his videos so impeccably smoothly.
    637
  369. Veritasium in the last year or two has really revived my hope that youtube science can be more than either crazy conspiracy videos or purely informational. He's doing the closest a pop-scientist has done to science since the mythbusters, and he's arguably added the important step of peer review into his process.
    635
  370. 4:24 "confirming beyond a shadow of a doubt" WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?
    631
  371. That 37 one dollar bills each with the number 37 is a true act of love from his mother. Beautiful.
    631
  372. My opinion is that your videos have extremely high quality and educational value. I think you could be producing documentaries for Netflix, BBC, PBS more often
    630
  373. Your videos never feel like they’re 20 minutes long! There’s always so much research into topics that we would’ve never known if not for your videos. Love the content.
    630
  374. You and Tom Scott have been making things for everyone on youtube for longer than some of your newer audience has been alive. This scale of time scares me aha.
    623
  375. Really appreciate all the effort you went to in making this video, you’ve put a lot of time and effort in.
    623
  376. The analog computers used by navies during the First and Second World Wars are amazing technological feats. The inputs are the continuous, relative motions of opposing ships and the outputs are a synchronous stream of firing solutions.
    607
  377. You inspired me to pick physics as my major
    606
  378. I still haven't taken it apart to look but i assume its probably easily fixable. I think the cold from the propane tank broke something internally ironically
    605
  379. Earlier this summer, I went on a short night hike with some rangers in Copper Breaks State Park, Texas. We took UV flashlights and our group counted about 70 scorpions along the way. Until that night, I had no idea that they glowed!
    604
  380. Someone below is asking that the rolling code can't work the way its told here. As if the receiver accepts only the next code what will happen if the transmitter is out of range and someone presses the button of transmitter ? As now transmitter has moved ahead of receiver. Well the video lacks a few things here. Actually there is a synchronization counter C which gets increamented each time you press the key (of transmitter). Same way the receiver also stores the most recent validated synchronization counter it has received (N). Now when ever you press the key and send the pseudo-random number to the transmitter the transmitter also takes the synchronization counter C from transmitter (and to update itself will overwrite N with C). Now receiver will also produce the Cth code (corresponding to C i mean) and match with the code send by transmitter. There is also rolling window of acceptance for rolling codes say 100 or 1000 or whatever (depending upon which system you using for your garrage or car keys). Now also note that C-N <= window of acceptance. Hope you are getting my point here. Means if you window of acceptance is say 1000 and you press your key 1000 times when you were out of the range then the garrage (or your car or whatever) will ignore the key even if you come back to range. Also note that if press the key and hold it pressed it keeps emitting same bits, its only when you press it again (press, release the button and press again) that you are generating a new code. The attack works because the tranmitter checks if the next number is what falls in the sequence and there is no concept of expire due to time here (like we have in one time passwords sent to phone).
    600
  381. Wow what a wholesome video. You can see how passionate he is with everything he does, and most importantly he always had a pattern: shift to something else when deemed necessary. And now he's shifting his time to spend it with his family, which I think is the most important thing shown in the video...Seriously loved this video so much, thank you
    599
  382. if it was just 1 minute and 1 second shorter, 22:49, it would've been 37x37 seconds long
    594
  383. What I love about this is that this is truly an application of the scientific method within the scientific community. One person (or group) makes an experiment and hypothesis, peers challenge/prove/disprove the original hypothesis, and experiment with their own experiments, explanations, and hypotheses, and then communicate back to the scientific community. This results in further testable hypotheses and finally consensus. Those that question science sometime feel that science is a collection of edicts set in stone foisted upon them by the elite, but science is beautiful because it demands challenge for it work! I wish I were a writer to explain my thoughts better, but this video and situation surrounding it were simply too inspiring not to comment on.
    593
  384. Veritasium: I’m going to be making more clickbait titles moving forward. Also Veritasium: makes intriguing titles which perfectly reflect the content of the video AND draw in new viewers.
    583
  385. You know its deadly serious when Veritasium says "we are approaching spooky teritory"
    575
  386. People really need to remember that most engineering-centric views of the world are, at their core, useful simplifications. Just like how an electrical engineer doesn't need to think about quarks when discussing how semiconductors work (since it is more or less "irrelevant"), an electrical engineer also doesn't need to "fully" consider how energy is actually dissipated to a load, but instead must simply understand and be able to model (with a sufficient degree of accuracy) what is happening. As a computer engineer, I also like to think of this as an abstraction, similar to how someone writing software really doesn't need to understand "exactly" what the CPU is doing in order to sufficiently write a piece of software (unless you are obviously writing low-level code which interacts with assembly or something).
    575
  387. From watching objects being destroyed in slow-mo I'm finally learning new things an effective way. Derek, thank you so much.
    575
  388. heat up a popcorn kernel until it pops.
    574
  389. I'm continuously blown away more with every video by the production value and quality veritasium has reached. It is insane to think that this is youtube now... i mean, writing, editing, animations, plot/subplot, interviews, the "red line" through the whole video... yep... blown away
    573
  390. Wow.. What a nice video.. Thanks so much for creating this video..!! I believe the world would be a better place because of it 😊
    568
  391. Thank you Derek for making such great videos. Especially this one touched my heart. I am a mechanical engineer and I work in the field of dynamics. I have never understood why there are two ways how to get motion equations - at the university, I used Newton's second law most of the times, because it was straightforward. I did't understand, where the Lagrange's equatins came from. Now I know. And I am touched by the fact that each of those great mathematicians added a small pice of puzzle into this picture. And I feel sad for Mapertuis who died without knowing, that his theory was proven to be correct. Thanks for reminding us the important people, that were forgotten throughout the history.
    566
  392. I'm a theoretical physicist, and I'm astonished by how precise and well-presented the video is. It reminded me of the wonder I felt as an undergraduate attending beautiful lectures on classical mechanics. Thank you for creating such wonderful material for everyone on YouTube.
    564
  393. I work in meteorology with part of my job being to photograph and determine which types of snowflakes are falling at a given time. Basically I travel around Canada chasing horrible winter weather to take measurements and identify snowflakes. Love the video! You just made my week.

    557
  396. The QD Code at 13:07 didnt disappoint
    548
  397. This really put a smile on my face, it is brilliant, a mathematically philosophical masterpiece! Really brings hope into a seemingly hopeless world!
    545
  398. Amazing! I've seen this video weeks ago, but just came back to say: I love it.
    543
  399. Currently a semester away from completing my undergraduate degree in microbiology, and wow... The visuals, explanations, and connections between everything in this video is amazing. Videos like this are what make YouTube such a valuable learning resource.
    542
  400. I felt all the feels watching this. I've been going through my own emotional turmoil and procrastination that just makes it worse. This video is almost eye opening to a point where I think I need to make a change. I'll be coming back to this video to remind myself
    540
  401. Easily one of the best videos I have ever seen. The simple brilliance in covering the topic in its entire complexity is fascinating itself. Combining it with visual represantations of the hard to grasp statistical phenomena makes it even better. Loved every minute and made me wish my Derivatives professors would have had the same passion for the topic. Bravo, coming from an MSc in Finance!
    535
  402. This almost made me cry. Having a parent that loves learning as much as they love teaching has to be one of the greatest gifts on earth. Gaining the knack for inquiry makes living so beautiful.
    532
  403. This video had me glued to the screen
    530
  404. 3 min in, and using a mini explosion to break the surface tension has me in awe!! I'm astonished
    528
  405. There's been a couple of videos on this particular SAT problem before. I'm an engineer and a bit of a math nerd myself, so I understood the point the other video was trying to make. However, Derek uses both computer graphics and real-world cut-outs to explain things, and that sets this video apart from the others. Very elegant, as always, Derek. Love your vids!
    524
  406. And we all click it with a tiny glimmer of hope that we might be able to give it a shot.
    523
  407. We actually have to study about PCR in our school curriculum (it covers a pretty huge part of it actually) and Oh My God dude, all the explanations by every teacher inside and outside the school campus flew over my head but this... I never would've though that PCR had that much of history and had made such a huge impact on healthcare and forensics and it wasn't even briefly mentioned by the teachers. If this 30 minute video was shown in our class I guarantee you that everybody will pass the exams. Because it felt like a movie rather than a "who'll drop their head first and get kicked out of the class game." This is what YouTube should be for.
    517
  408. I think it's worth noting that Patterson's (and others') struggle was not quick or easy and they faced significant opposition from industry and other powerful interests.
    516
  409. I think the team at Cetus deserves just as much recognition as Mullis, if not more. We'd be nowhere without them, and props to the manager that recognised the chance
    508
  410. Your videos are far better than any physics teacher in the world. In the chaos of martial law in South Korea, the rainbow you created have moved me for a moment.
    498
  411. Dude chill you don't have to release bangers every week for months in a row 😂
    488
  412. The value of your channel is immeasurable. Thanks for making such great educational videos. You return more value to humanity than what you take. You are an "digital entropy anomaly" thank you!
    487
  413. Thanks YouTube! I used to be the plant engineer at this potash plant from 2004-2007. It's still owned by Intrepid Potash Inc. out of Denver. Pretty accurate in all accounts technically. The solution mining method was at first just flooding the original room and pillar underground mine. In 2005 they drilled a set of interconnected horizontal boreholes through the potash bearing strata using the same tech used for horizontal oil and gas drilling. A small point of clarification, but the majority of the evap ponds are actually sodium chloride and the KCL is separated in the plant a few miles east via an amine bubbling process. The remaining sodium saturated water is actually recycled back down the pump shafts. KCL is preferentially soluble in water and this keeps the sodium byproduct from building up. All the feed lines are kept as saturated as possible to minimize corrosion, which as you might imagine can be a big problem.
    487
  414. You're getting old, Derek. Now you're awesomer!!!!!! I admire and respect the heck out of you!
    481
  415. Proving Feynman wrong is one hell of a task... yet he kinda did it ... :D
    477
  416. First time donating. The money is not much but it represents my absolute resentment toward Youtube censoring educational videos. Thank you for your work.
    477
  417. Derek this is such a lovely video! I would love to see Raquel and your kids on your channel more — experiments you try at home filmed in a really cool way, like everyday physics phenomena with drones and slow mo cameras and so on.
    471
  418. Hi Derek I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate what you’re doing and that I love watching your content. They’re always so interesting and I love the way you present it! Can’t wait for 10M!
    469
  419. 6:39 this 'locking into place' animation is so good, all the molecules barely move and yet instantly create a pattern
    467
  420. IIRC, the fact that storing video was difficult meant that a lot of famous TV broadcasts have been lost, even after recorders were adopted. The early episodes of Dr. Who were taped over for later programs, and now the only known recordings are audio tapes made by a viewer. The moon landing footage was also taped over by NASA, so the only existing footage is a video recording of a video broadcast of a video broadcast.
    464
  421. Can you imagine.. "Gather round, family! Time to fire up the color-picture tube!" switch clicks, relays fire, belts and color wheel spin up shouting "SO WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE TONIGHT?!"
    457
  422. Japanese yen deserves to be among these international ‘Thanks!’ This episode brings up a quote of the year, considering all the conflicts going on around the globe. Thanks for a positive note!
    454
  423. For many years now Ive been subscribed to your channel & I can honestly say, I always get excited EVERY time I see a notification that you have uploaded a new video. I have learned so much from your channel! I want to thank you for your hard work & for encouraging all us young people to not only pursue physics, but also not to be dismissive of other people's points of view. Youre open minded yet unlike many academics, I have never heard you be dismissive of the fact someone might be religious or spiritual & that they want to be a man of science, (something that two of my professors do all the time). You are the reason I decided to choose to get my undergrad in physics with the hope that when I finish my undergrad here at Carnegie Mellon, I can get my PhD in astrophysics. I still have two more years..... if school isn't tough enough, the fact that I have to work makes it really tough but its so worth it! You were a big part of my decision to pursue physics & by doing so, I found out that the pursuit of knowledge through the world of physics is not simply want I want to do for the rest of my life, its what I would LOVE to do! From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU!

  424. In a world of political discourse and divide, coming to watch a video where I could learn something and see something I've never seen before is a refreshing change from the norm. I thank you for that.
    449
  425. props to Andrew Lo, explain it very very clearly.
    448
  426. 12:53 I would be veeeeeery disappointed if this animation was not made with Blender...
    447
  427. Random Dude: put your hand next to the metal plate and the boiling water Veritasium Man: yes
    447
  428. Thank you Derek. You are the BEST thing on YouTube. Keep up the amazing work.
    447
  429. Would love to see any of these: A pair of hands clapping, A birds/Insects wings flapping, A tuning fork ringing, A set of Newtons Cradle in motion, A gyroscope spinning, A spark across 2 points (as in a Van De Graaff), A fluorescent tube striking, A drone hovering, A feather falling. Looking forward to whatever you end up trying. :D
    445
  430. Brilliant, loved how the professor did admit where he was wrong and his argument made us got us to know the blackbird and it's working even better, he really is a man of honour....
    444
  431. The sheer volume of content is incredible. There has to be a bigger team helping produce this much amazing science content.
    434
  432. Awesome video. And your editing skills are really good
    433
  433. This is quite possibly the most down-to-Earth math video I've ever watched. I'm going to send this to anyone I geek out about combinatorics to.
    433
  434. I've done my BSc in physics last october and this has been the first time in years where I had a true mind = blown moment when it comes to something physics related. How I missed that feeling; that's why I started studying it in the first place. So thank you so much for this!!
    432
  435. Wow!bluetooth!
    427
  436. 2 videos within 4 days. What a treat.
    424
  437. 1:39 everytime you see that disclaimer you know its gonna be good! :)
    421
  438. And the link to the laptop typing research paper is?
    420
  439. I have learned more from this channel than I have in several years worth of schooling. I can’t believe this is free content. Thank you so much
    417
  440. Veritasium basically exposing himself is the most truthful thing I've seen on YouTube.
    417
  441. Derek's storytelling is insane right now. From start and end from the same evil spirit's line. Just the perfect way to join multiple footages, different locations and topics woven together as a complete story. To take the explanation parts and seamlessly transitions to practical demonstration, fun, self exploration. From teaching us and being taught and the constant voiceover during it. JUST LOVED IT. this must be my favorite video of yours's in every aspects.
    416
  442. This is the first ever "thank you" video that makes me tear up :') I've been following you for a long time, and seeing what you achieved and what your life has become genuinely makes me HAPPY for you. So, thank YOU Derek, for everything you've done for us. You deserve your beautiful life.
    416
  443. I rarely comment on videos... I found this video so insightful I just had to say... Keep producing the quality stuff man!
    408
  444. Dude You ridiculously simplify the complex concepts of Universe, recently electronics. Your conceptualization and presentation is unmatched. Videos of this channel serve a docu series to many curious souls. Some of your videos go down with me forever!! Thank you very much for the efforts of you and your team. Please don't stop making such videos, spread the knowledge, keep motivating and exciting everyone. Love from India
    407
  445. I came here just to say that I got to watch your videos in jail before I went to prison. I wanted to say thank you. You gave me so much joy and helped me learn about some of my favorite sciences (idk if thats a word) Thank you veritasium for all that you've helped me with. I was in a rough spot with my daughter being 2 months old at the time and me missing so much of her life due to my poor choices. But you gave me a glimmer of joy and happiness. You truly helped me. Thank you so much
    406
  446. I have cochlear implants, streaming this video directly to my processors and thus pretty much directly to my brain… some of the illusions don’t work, others work but not in the way you expect and it’s so hard to describe
    405
  447. "I always wanted to know why film looked better than video." That's the first line of your description but the video doesn't explain that...
    404
  448. Absolutely Mesmerizing!
    402
  449. OHHHH! So THAT'S how they make Fig Newtons! Got it, thanks!
    401
  450. Derek, I think this video was one of your most beautiful videos so far. I just wanted to say I'm from Brazil and you were a great source of inspiration for me to start making science videos to the Brazilian community. I'm still an undergrad in physics, which I decided to pursue because of you and your work. YouTube changed my life, I've always wanted to be a filmmaker. Making videos changed who I wanted to be in the future. It changed my career. It changed everything! I love your work and I want to tell you how much of an inspiration you were to me. How your videos changed who I wanted to be. Who knows how many other lives and people you have inspired? Your videos are definitely making a change in the way we teach. I love your work! Thanks for everything you've done and accomplished. YouTube is a better place because of you. From a Brazilian fan.
    401
  451. His kids must've had a blast the day of filming this video 😂
    400
  452. Being in Uni doing things like this can be very fulfilling...solving complex problems, coming up with very awkward but working solutions and learning new things everyday is very satisfying.
    399
  453. As a physics student in the 3rd semester this is a brilliant video to watch...literally goosebumps all the time. It is so satisfying to see what u have learned being illustrated in such a way. Just WOW really

This is such an important piece of wisdom that everyone would benefit from by taking to heart. It's okay to make mistakes, and we should be gracious with those who make mistakes as well.
    392
  459. I live in Belgium and I assure you I won't be the only Belgian who has never heard this story before.
    391
  460. This had me in tears. Such a wonderful life story, I'm so happy for you. Whatever content you make from here, I'll watch it regardless because you have captured not only my attention, but my respect too. Hell, I even acknowledged you (among other science influencers) in my thesis. You keep doing you, man.

  461. I was a flight attendant for almost 28 years. One time, after take off, there was a hissing sound near door 4 on a 747. Turned out that the seat belt of the flight attendant seat had got stuck in the door when it was closed. The pilots depressurized the cabin (we were still climbing) and reduced speed. It took 3 guys with all our strength to lift the door lever a few centimetres so that a fourth one could haul the buckle in out of the doorframe. I was never worried anyone might open a door by accident after that. It was cool though to look for a brief moment outside through the slit that had opened and see the ground racing along 3km or so below

  466. Thanks for being one of the best science communicators on YouTube. Channels like yours remind me why the sciences were my favorite subjects.
    365
  467. Derek's ability to break down mathematical terms into common language is amazing. As an Electrical engineer who works in Signal processing, the FFT algorithm is my bread and butter.
    364
  468. SOOO OZONE is supposed to block UV... An interesting experiment would be: Set up an electric arc (which will normally create the "ozone smell") and see if there is a stream of ozone emanating in dark waves with your UV cam ???
    364
  469. Well this just summed up math and computer science in university in 30 minutes
    359
  470. I'd just like to take a moment and say that Veritasium production quality has just SKYROCKETED recently. 🔥 It's so so good. Huge kudos to the Derek and the whole team behind these videos! 🙏
    356
  471. Thank you for inviting me to your TED Talk. Seriously though, great video.
    356
  472. The kg is dead, long live the kg! All hail the kg!
    353
  473. I love these aerogel videos. As interesting as thy're are fun to watch. Nice work!
    346
  474. You have definitely set the bar for the quality of your videos in recent 5 - 7 videos. Every video is just an adventure and literally makes people ponder about the topics you discuss for like a week or so. For most of the science channels I watch, I would forget about it most likely in a day or so. I don't know if it's teaching or presentation skills but the topics you discuss have the highest retention rate.
    345
  475. I'm a student at Stanford in an optics class; we have our final exam in a few days and it covers literally everything in this video: reflection, refraction, dispersion, Snell's Law, Brewster's Angle, diffraction patterns, constructive/destructive interference, etc. This video could not have had more perfect timing!
    342
  476. Great video Derek! It was nice to meet you at JPL when you were filming this, keep making great videos!
    340
  477. Similarly to some of the other comments, I studied Aeronautical engineering for four years, worked for Rolls Royce jet engines in the defence aerospace sector and been an airline pilot now for 12 years. I’ve loved Veritasium videos for years and this just proves to me how well researched these videos are. Thanks for all your effort, accuracy and clarity!
    336
  478. i shed a little tear when the telltale points towards you, ngl
    335
  479. before i start watching the video i wanted to say: every time a new thumbnail from this channel pops up in my feed i know it’s happy time. thank you so much!
    333
  480. Blow high-pressure air through a tiny hole to create Mach diamonds! I did that with my Schlieren set-up and it looks phenomenal! Bonus if you make that tiny hole a CD nozzle by drilling the hole using a tap on both sides.
    328
  481. Would love to try this one 😍
    328
  482. This is the best explanation I've seen of Bell's theorem, excellent video
    322
  483. I've literally been wondering for years why the universe started with low entropy when it was so uniform. Wouldn't say I have a clear understanding now but at least I'm not completely in the dark anymore. Thank you so much for explaining this ♥️
    319
  484. If maths was taught like this, I would've understood pretty much everything and not develop a phobia towards it.
    319
  485. This guy told us, he has to create titles that encourages clicks with a provocative thumbnail to stay relevant because of YouTube algorithms. I subscribed with alert on!!! Every single one of his video is quality and shouldn’t be subjected to a bot.
    318
  486. Your thumbnails are so freaking good.
    317
  487. Last time I was this early , Meter was defined by Platinum Rod .

  488. I can’t remember when was the last time I had to know the answer to a physics problem this badly Thanks for the satisfying answer and not making me spend a sleepless night thinking about it by not making us wait for another video for the answer
    317
  489. Bro watching this because just now watched "My Life Story". Bravo.. Kudos to you brother.
    311
  490. Analog devices like the Fourier analyzer are so astounding to me for how creative the inventor had to be. One of the coolest is a "planimeter", which measures the area of an arbitrary shape by tracing around its perimeter.
    310
  491. At a time when so many of my childhood channels have quieted down, I'm glad to see peak Veritasium is here today.
    304
  492. Ah, the infamous cosmic rays every IT specialist deals with a few times in their career. Had one of them myself, first year doing it professionally!

  493. This absolutely blew my mind. I expected nothing less from you, Derek. Thank you for everything you do.
    296
  494. Goosebumps, Weird feeling from heart and Gut. Water from eyes. How is this possible through a bunch of 1s and 0s
    296
  495. That's how things go wrong in Hollywood movies and Derek turns into magneto 🤣
    295
  496. The animation in these videos keep getting better and better, I love it.
    289
  497. back to back veritasium videos. lets gooo!!!
    283
  498. Damn your animations have improved so much over the years

  500. Hello, this is the best explanation of PCR I have seen. Having defended my PhD in molecular biology in 2006, I can attest that PCR is certainly the most used method in the labs today and have opened so many doors in knowledge and diagnosis possibilities. Thanks for this video ! Next time my friends asks about what I do, I’ll send them the link !
    275
  501. I never thought a veritasium video would make me cry! Congrats on everything Derek, you deserve it all
    273
  502. Really interesting video bruh. Love how you structure the story. It takes more effort than it looks.
    272
  503. Damn that thumbnail comment wasn't lying, this is definitely one of those rare videos that EVERYONE should see😐
    269
  504. Thank you! A great explanation of our world and struggle as Youtubers!
    268
  505. Derek Müller, Adam Savage and Theo Jansen in the same video gives me so much joy. I have huge respect for and admiration for those three. Fantastically done Veritasium!
    266
  506. We have reached peak Veritasium, look how often he's posting 🔥
    265
  507. It may seem ridiculous, but in the age of teenage YouTube megastars I've struggled with feeling like I'm already over the hill with this YouTube thing and ought to "settle down"/"get a real job". it's really encouraging to realize that you were as old as I am now when you STARTED this venture. It makes me realize that these cut-offs I have in my head about the proper timelines and phases of life really are arbitrary.
    257
  508. This saga has been one of the most interesting and wholesome things I've ever seen on youtube. Your first video led me to [re]discovering electroboom, alpha phoenix, and a few more awesome science channels. Watching everyone's different critiques and explanations was a kind of deep dive I didn't know I needed. Thanks, Derek.
    252
  509. I love how Derek goes the extra mile and tracks down one of the people that called the problem out, who just so happens to be a mathematician now 😂
    251
  510. So many satisfying clips in this video!
    249
  511. Hm... The video didn't have much pottery from the era you live in, but I suppose it'll do ;)
    247
  512. For the people wondering: "Why aren't we all black if UV is just harmful?" The reason is vitamin D. You NEED sunlight to make this vitamin and you need this vitamin to be healthy. If you have enough sunlight (like around the equator) you easily get enough vitamin D even through the blackest skin. A population living in areas with less sunlight will gradually lose a lot of its melanin to maximize the vitamin D synthesis and because there is not that much sun and therefore not that much of a risk of skin cancer. (Edit: I thought it was vitamin K, it's D apparently)
    245
  513. First and foremost, this is a awesome video. But if you sunk to the size of a nickel, considering that all your other organs shrink with the body, around a ratio of 1 to 85, your blood vessels which is currently around 4mm wide would shrink to 5 to 10 micrometers, with your capillaries shrinking to around 0.06 to 0.12 micrometer. You might be thinking now that red blood cells would shrink too, but red blood cells are made of molecules with a fixed atomic bond size, this means the red bloodcells can you shrink to a certain limit(70% of current, 5 micrometers) before rendered useless. Thus your red blood cells would be hundreds of times bigger then your capillaries. Just a side note, Van der waals does play a role here, as 0.06 to 0.12 is close the scale(not at it, just close) of where van der waals forces start dominating, making your blood vessels very very fragile. With this in mind, you would almost immediately die of blood blockages. Also, your DNA molecules don’t shrink, because atoms remain the same size. Normally, the double-helix of DNA is ~2 nanometers thick, which is fine for normal cells but becomes massively oversized if your cells shrink. Your cell nuclei would be too small to fit your DNA, meaning your cells wouldn’t divide or function properly. A lot of organelles like the mitochondria will also not be able to shrink aas they are already almost at the physical limit. Neurotransmitters, ion channels, and synaptic gaps are already nanometer-sized, meaning your brain’s electrical signaling would break down completely if everything was compressed. Air and water molecules will also be too big for your body to absorb properly, same would happen with food molecules like protein. P.SSo in this senerio of you being nickel sized, You would instantly lose all consciousness, almost instantly get blood blockages all over your body, your cells will collapse(DNA, mitochondria), you will also suffocate and starve. Lets say by some miracle, you survive and try to jump out(which theorietically is totally possible as you can jump up to 3.5 kilometres), you going to to shoot upwards(if your jumping using the energy your normally would) you would move up at 940 km/h, which would rip your body apart(85G of force), and deafen(maybe kill) you with sound caused by breaking the sound barrier. Oh, you would also bonk your head on the ceiling! Now you might say you’d jump up exactly the right distance, but you would have to control your energy output to around 175 microjoulesm which is more energy then that produced by a grain of sugar falling 1cm. In comparison taking one single step in your normal size takes 390000 times more energy then jumping out of the blender, making it imossible to control you energy output. Just one final peck at the teaser, if you were in that situation and moved even a tiny bit like walking you would explode into the air. In conclusion yet again, as a nickel sized human, your more cooked then my chances of getting a gf.:face-fuchsia-wide-eyes: P.S. Pin me for a cookie
    245
  514. In the difficult time of Corona, I am glad Derek provides us with videos more frequently. Life has become stagnant for me, and I feel like i'm getting dumber since there's so less to do and learn from during this time. These videos are a breath of relief for me and I really appreciate it. Thanks, Derek.
    241
  515. this is the most underrated thing right now, it made me speechless, autonomous flying on mars, are you kidding ! we live in the future
    240
  516. We are slowly getting there. Once we are finally past the "baby boomers" age group (God, I hate that phrase) we will pick up speed. Where I work, we are all metric. And I prefer it to be honest. What you must do is accept the measurement for what it is, not what it converts to in inch. What I mean is when you hear millimeter, think about how far that actually is, not that it is close to .040". Then it begins to make sense
    238
  517. Watching a 35 min veritasium video on thermite before going out on a saturday night... Living my best life right now
    234
  518. I usually do not comment, but the level of production of this video was astounding. Keep up the AMAZING (yes, with capital letters) work

  520. Hi Derek, the notification of your videos makes me throw all my work away and sit with my tab. You're incredible.
    231
  521. When that music starts and you know this video is at its climax!!
    229
  522. bring a cat along next time, we need more videos of cats in microgravity!
    227
  523. I watch a lot of science-based, learning-based channels, but you are the only one consistently releasing fantastic quality videos at a pretty high rate, and I'm super happy about it. Keep up the good, educational work!
    227
  524. That demo at the end was absolutely fantastic.
    226
  525. Thank you so much for creating such great educational video! One of the best physics video i have ever watch
    225
  526. I can HIGHLY recommend "Gödel Escher Bach" by Hofstadter at this point.
    225
  527. As an electrical engineer in college , this video clears up so much about electricity. Amazing work Derek!⚡
    225
  528. My previous job was working with electron microscopes - we worked on the scale of picometers and nanometers, with tiny silicon wafers. The level of detail in the microscopic world is unbelievable.
    223
  529. Thank you so much bringing the story of Shuji Nakamura san forward. His story inspires me so much. His dedication, determination is so out of the world but still he is so humble.
    222
  530. Awesome sir dr. Derek muller, you made science so interesting!! I have watched almost all your videos and I am studying in high school 👊🏻 By watching your videos, it helped me to understand how some things work... Thankyou very much 🙏🏻❤ love from India 😊
    221
  531.  @OficjalnyKrwiopijca  energy is frame dependent. Whether this is powered by the wind or the ground depends on the frame you choose for your analysis. A common complaint of skeptics about the model on the treadmill was that it was "clearly being powered by the treadmill". Oddly enough, that's true - but not a problem. It's equally accurate to choose the belt of the treadmill as your frame for analysis, and you'll find the cart is being powered by the wind (in that frame the air in the room is moving). And if you do your analysis in either frame, you'll find that conservation of energy is not violated.
    221
  532. I don't even care if they work, I think they just look cool
    220
  533. I never thought one could have the number 37 as a life-defining hobby, but I'm glad this man does!
    220
  534. I was a huge Physics nerd as a kid, especially things concerning light and optics. Watched the whole video with my undivided attention and reaffirmed to myself that I still love physics after all these years. Thanks for rekindling my inner child!❤
    218
  535. Loved this biographical video! I related to it in so many ways, especially the double unrelated (but low-key related) passions, and moving around until youtube made everything fall into place. Keep going, Derek!
    216
  536. There was a huge event there that weekend. It was like an open-class time trials for every form of gas powered vehicle.
    212
  537. "I want to make science documentaries in youtube that puts broadcast to shame" And to be honest, you have. It made me reflect on how have I got into interesting science topics in the last 8 years, and its been mostly through your videos. And thats a lot because I just graduated as a biologist! It is thanks to your videos and videos from others like Michael from Vsauce that I keep finding my passion about science. So thank you. I always go back to some of your videos (What is not random and Our Greatest Delusion) because they are truly inspirational. You are the Carl Sagan of a generation!
    212
  538. The best synthesis ever in the best way I needed it presented. This might just be my favourite video of all the ones you've ever made or any of the physics channels I follow come to think of it. Thanks a mil.
    207
  539. Wow Gene!! That was ridiculous flying!! Those are some really great shots
    207
  540. Thank you for everything that you do. The part about time ceasing to exist at the heat death of the universe was mind-blowing.
    207
  541. I’ve used this instead of stitches.. it works! I use it on cuts too. Apply it with a toothpick so it doesn’t get inside the wound, outside only!
    204
  542. Congratulations, Derek! I've been with you for such a long time! Since 2013 actually, which is when I started learning English, and you also contributed to that by the way. I'm very glad to know that you've found love, and I hope that your wife and kids will bring you a lot of happiness! Thank you for making Veritasium exist. I hope you'll keep the videos coming, at least every now and then. All the best, David
    203
  543. That was a fun afternoon. The receiver is one I built about 8 years ago using a design by Nick Roethe DF1FO. This video only includes audio from one ear - the other ear has a "whoopee" tone that makes it much easier to DF, but Earhart didn't have that
    202
  544. What a treat, Saturday evening in Sweden and Veritasium releases a video about Thermite. I feel so lucky!
    201
  545. My man went to space to prove his point, respect.
    198
  546. I just noticed you made Veritasium the element 42. Hope you never forget your towel!
    196
  547. This was so absolutely cool Derek! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
    196
  548.  @CrazyStranger11  at 1:10 you can clearly see a multi-gear setup. Sounds like they could change it manually before each run, but no derailer for changing it during a run
    192
  549. Can we wait for a moment and appreciate the crazy animations done by the editor 👏
    190
  550. Currently working on my phd in astrophysics, studied physics at undergrad. I never appreciated that light really does follow every path. Like in the video, I thought it was a neat mathematical trick. The demonstration blew my mind.
    189
  551. Thank you for developing this documentary about the LED science.
    184
  552. I don't know what to say. I am a material science and engineering student from Ethiopia. I've been watching videos since grade 10, and they have had a big impact on my life. Thanks a lot!
    181
  553. I cant believe I never learned of the specifics of the radio issues. Heartbreaking. Thank you.
    180
  554. Your videos are incredible, this one was insane, all from your storytelling to the footage. You explain it in an easy way that people like myself understand, and the storytelling was great, combining the exciting PFV drone journey into the mix with educational segments of the fireworks. And the Cinematography and video work was outstanding, so beautiful shots that also help tell the story. I know you wanted to be a traditional filmmaker, but this it a great unique way of storytelling that is rare to see on YouTube. Keep going, Derek. Your videos are always fun and educational 🙂

  555. I've been a fan of Theo Jansen for over a decade now. So excited to watch this

  556. "Stop being so certain about things" Should be the automated response when anyone posts on twitter.
    174
  557. I love how you just casually say you have no merch. You're the exact opposite of all those lame vlogger youtubers who squeeze every last buck out of a video about nothing. I feel like you care about getting a message across first and making money from it in the last place, like you would still be doing this if it meant you had to live in somebody's basement (btw please don't, consider your children). Anyway, thank you for making your videos and I wish you all the succes in the next ten years and beyond.
    173
  558. This type of content is unbelievable! As an AP Calc and AP Stats teacher, it keeps me motivated to learn more and find more interesting problems for my students to keep them motivated.
    172
  559. Veritasium i don’t really care, it was still a great video. everyone complaining are pussies
    172
  560. Now I can sleep tight knowing that even if we never achieve FTL speeds, at least we got FTW covered.
    171
  561. And on the next episode, quantum teleportation. This show is all over the place
    167
  562. I did a bachelors in physics and I feel like I knew shamefully little about this. Nevertheless, really interesting video. One of your best to me, thanks
    164
  563. The first video I saw on your channel was the one about that 1kg sphere that was nearly perfectly round called "World´s Roundest object". And now this video comes up and it creates a loop in all the experiences I have had with your channel! You created so much new interests in me and I think this is the perfect opportunity to say: Thank You! Thank you for all the work you have done for me, the millions of viewers and sciences position on youtube etc. As I am from germany, it is sad to see that there are so few science channels and the once excisting are barely watched. Therefore you, as an american channel, have got a much wider audience and impact! greetings, Tim

  564. One of the key elements that makes strandbeests so interesting is the way art and science blend together. It is not just a feat of engineering, but also a symbol of continuous creativity. The development of strandbeests over the course of 12,419 days is not only a reflection of the progress of research and technological innovation, but also a journey of exploration into the intersection of science, art and knowledge.
    161
  565. I had the same question from my children. This Veritasium video addressed the question so deeply and accurately.
    160
  566. As a student who studies car engieering, i must say producing a car battery costs a huge amount of co2 emmision, although the polution is low when it later put into use.
    159
  567. PRINCE RUPERTS DROP SHATTERING. What kind of pressure waves can be seen? You might need to call Destin or the SloMoGuys to capture it. :)
    158
  568. A mechanical/analog integrater? That’s badass-level of genius!
    155
  569. Veritasium and SmarterEveryDay should be required in primary schools. It just gets better all the time. Thanks for sharing your story...and your intelligence on Veritasium.
    155
  570. You know the past few months of 9th grade was tough on me skipping my zoom calls and not listening to my teachers just overall being a last slob. I have always wanted to be a scientist, but focused more on video games. Now after watching this video I have wanted to dedicate my time into more of school! Thank you veritasium for making this video! I’ve past by that video for 2 years after getting the notification on my phone while playing video games and saying I’ll watch that later, just now got to it. Now I regret missing the opportunity of a life time to watch a little short video, and be inspired by you to proceed with my dream to being a scientist. But now I’m glad I stumbled upon it because now I’m going to so my best because of you! I’ll be watching every video when I get that notification from now on. Thank you!
    155
  571. Been watching since the first videos. I’m a huge light nerd. My favorite video you’ve ever produced. First time I’m doing one of these. Great work!
    154
  572.  @madthough2298  We have videos on my youtube channel showing the vehicle going much faster than the wind as demonstrated by tell-tails that are mounted well above the top of the propeller and well out to both sides.
    154
  573. I love how giddy the organ player was to show you everything! He loves what he does!
    150
  574. Definitely stick with the 'quality over quantity' aspect I much more enjoy a high quality video especially when you're talking about physics principles that are difficult to understand. Honetly I dont have a particular preference on what videos you make wether they're about nuclear technoloy or optical illusions I enjoy them all.
    150
  575. Probably my highlight of the last 2 years was discovering this channel.
    149
  576. it was like watching an episode of mythbusters Grant Imahara surely is proud of you, Derek!
    148
  577. This is clearly the best Veritasium video and one of the best physics explanations I have seen! Thanks a lot!
    148
  578. Taking responsibility is a risk-taking behaviour. I remember when on a summer job at a power supply manufacturer, I found out an issue with the product that had to be corrected - when boxes were already about to be loaded into the shipping truck. So I said wait, we have to fix this. Later that day, my boss said, it's great that you stopped the shipment, it was a responsible decision. But you should have gone straight to my office, because you did not have the right to stop the shipment. And he was right - I had no such right. I just had the responsibility to pretend I did, because the alternative would be a recall. Some people are primarily mission-oriented: they want to accomplish the end-goal. Others are more process-oriented, they are motivated to follow the procedures. Aviation is an interesting combination of the two, because following procedures is critical to safety. That means it is very risky to start improvising, and there is a strong requirement to avoid doing it. There were two key elements that were missing in Earhart's flight: understanding of radio propagation on her part, and a strict, mutually-agreed to, detailed communication plan. Given that there was no possibility to divert, disaster was a distinct possibility. And yet, everyone seemed to have thought "we'll make it - somehow." Of course, hindsight is 20-20.
    148
  579. Just letting you know, as a physics major, I've learnt a lot on this channel.
    148
  580. Love what you do~! Thanks so much for an Amazing 10 years worth of content on YouTube.
    147
  581. Back after three years. This video deserves some sort of award D. It's what I've recommended to everyone I've talked b.h.'s with since you made it. Super clear, ultra concise, uber understandable, and hyper relateable. Congrats to Team Veratasium.
    146
  582. No one: 1950s: “Let’s use nukes for construction!”
    145
  583. He is obsessed btw: I saw Derek 3 days ago and this is the first thing he said to me. -- kH
    145
  584. Congratulations sir! You have been such an inspiration, perhaps the best victory in your carrier is inspiring young minds to start thinking in the ways of science. The quality of the videos just kept getting better. Such an awesome channel and such a big part of my childhood. Cheers 🥳
    144
  585. Coincidence: Just started to learn about Moment of Inertia in school. This helps man.
    144
  586. Derek is Head and Shoulders above the rest I’m sorry... I’ll leave now
    143
  587. He IS a science teacher. You're in his class right now.
    142
  588. Hello from France 🇫🇷 And hello from the subscribers of e-penser ;)
    140
  589. Man, Veritasium helped to kindle a love for science in me. Thanks Derek!!
    139
  590. a slightly awkward confession and gratefulness. but full of honesty. such a great guy.
    137
  591. This is one of your best videos for chemistry case study since the one on Fritz Haber. We, chemistry teachers thank you!
    136
  592. Learning new and often very complicated things is always so joyful and easy with your videos and passion. Thanks Veritasium team!
    134
  593. I think Derek got told to declutter his house..! Congrats on the decade! Here's to another :D
    134
  594. An additional note: the definition of the metre also depends on the definition of the second, which, since 1960, has been defined as the time it takes for an electron in a particular state of a Cesium-133 atom's electron shells to oscillate exactly 9,192,631,770 times.
    133
  595. I'm not crying, you're crying! That supercooled water video was the first one I watched, ever since your videos have been a source of inspiration and the spark that lit my hunger for knowledge on many fields. Thank you Derek!
    132
  596. Best resume of how PCR techniques evolved I ever heard/saw. Including my university education since 1988, when I attended a molecular biology course at London University College as a student.
    131
  597. It's the wonders of Polypropylene!
    127
  598. Mentour Pilot x Veritasium crossover???? Loving it!!!!
    124
  599. As a 33 year old who doesnt feel he has reached his lifes purpose or dreams, a guy who lives alone without a family.... your story fills me with hope and inspiration for my future. Your reflection is so deep and your content now is better than its ever been. THanks for sharing :)
    124
  600. My son sent me to watch this. I'm already subscribed but so frequently when it's physics I get a bit wary, I'm very much not a maths person. You start throwing equations across the screen and my mind often just quits right there, lol. But this was fascinating. When he told me the name of the principle I blinked at him and said "You mean conservation of energy?" and he started hopping up and down going "NO! That's just the thing! Augh, go watch it Mom!" SO here I am! And I see what y'all are saying. Interesting to think about and I look forward to the next one!
    123
  601. A couple things to mention: taste (particularly our sense of sweet and salty) is diminished at altitude, presumably at low ambient air pressure - which is why we think food is bland in the air. For this reason, airplane food regularly has extra salt added to it to give the food "more" flavor, to offset that effect. Try eating an airline meal when you're on the ground, it's unbearably salty. Second, I regularly use my cell phone when flying my plane - it's useful to pull up weather or other information, and for use as an emergency backup. In my experience, it works reliably up to about 3500 or 4000 feet - and then only when near a built-up area. Above 4000 feet or so, the connection is so unreliable as to be useless.
    123
  602. It also works when you flip a phone like raquet ,try it 🤔🤔🤔 Edit : moral ::we should watch the video before commenting
    122
  603. Team up with practical engineering! Oh, do something fun with your wife or kids that we can do with our kids. Maybe do a series of videos that teaches basic physics for kids. Also, being a dad changes you. It changes your values, your brain, your life. It's not just you. Your struggles to do something you love while not being good and having a gift in another area is not uncommon. Many take the bad advice of doing what you love and fail miserably with no way to sustain themselves. You did the smart thing. It's exactly the route I suggest young people take (tough I never say it's the only way).
    121
  604. This may be my favorite video you've made. Not only was it a fascinating topic explained superbly with interesting and unique demos, but the fact you made it all for your son shows it was a labor of love. I hope he looks back on this, and everything else you've done for him, very fondly
    121
  605. Thank you for creating great content that is not only educational but really interesting and fun. Lol -RIP too all the fallen chocolate bunnies.
    120
  606. The insane details, information and presentation... this is too good to be true. Thanks Derek, as a school student, it inspires me much more than you can imagine.
    120
  607. Perhaps a better phrasing would have been to say "Now there can be no more REASONABLE doubt".
    120
  608. I love how feedback from the community resulted in an even more thorough answer than the original video.
    120
  609. This channel has single handedly made me interested in maths again.
    119
  610. Imagine if the janitor was Matt Damon
    118
  611. Dihydrogen Monoxide is a dangerous compound that corrodes metal.
    117
  612. Great work there, Derek, top class content.
    116
  613. I had to add some constructive criticism since Ive been watching veritasium for years now, and you said yourself you spent 2+ years working on this film. I found the "musical numbers" really did not work well in the context of the film. I understand why you put them in (kids) but even so, no where in the tone of the trailer did you elude that would be part of the movie, and for a serious documentary it just came off corny. If thats what you were going for so be it. Enjoyed the film other then those parts
    113
  614. Long-time viewer here. Impressive how much it’s all changed, from questioning odd people on the street to questioning nuclear scientists, aerospace engineers, and life itself
    113
  615. Rob Scallon on Veritasium isn’t something I ever expected, but I love it!!!
    110
  616. this REQUIRES a collaboration with the slo mo guys
    108
  617. Dude! Your cinematography is killer! The shots of you on top of that hill with the Belt of Venus visible in the sky was positively cinematic!
    107
  618. I grew up in Khartoum, Sudan, I graduated in a degree in Medicine and Surgery last year, although I love medicine, but surprisingly I love art too, and I wanted to be a photographer/filmmaker, so guess what? I started to be make videos about interesting topics in medicine and science on YouTube (in Arabic language with English subtitles for now), and I'm kinda loving it, having a job as a doctor definitely makes it harder to make videos, but I will never stop. Watching a story of a ''survival'' is always inspiring! Keep up doing what you love Derek! Thanks for sharing your journey with us! It’s so relatable, I love you! ❤
    106
  619. Good morning!
    106
  620. no .... thank YOU! Thank you for sharing, lovely family, you done great Derek
    106
  621. Wowwww Derek, It’s so dope!!!
    104
  622. That's hella Top Notch video. Kudos!
    103
  623. Veritasium is the one science channel that I’ve been following from Elementary school to College and still consistently learn from
    103
  624. This is lit.
    101
  625. Delightful. Typically, I know something about the topics Derek covers in his video, but not this one. I've played in snow and seen pictures of snowflakes, I never thought about how they formed. It was just wonderful watching this video -- such high quality -- and hearing the detailed explanations. And it is always exciting to hear from the scientists who are exploring these topics and so passionate about their research. Thank you.
    101
  626. Such a great video! "Is Success Luck or Hard Work?", "The Most Misunderstood Concept in Physics", and this video are some of my favorite videos on YT. Maybe this is not up your alley, but I'd really love to see your take on alternative economic systems, such as the "degrowth theory". Keep up the great work!
    101
  627. Great work. We need educators like you
    100
  628. Thanks!
    99
  629. Man! You are atractive! LMAO!
    98
  630. Happy new year!!
    97
  631. When you showed me the picture of Europa took by Voyager 1, it genuinely brought a tear to my eyes. Humans have gone such a long way from making fire to launching spacecrafts to other worlds. One of the biggest reasons i wanted to become an astronaut when I was little. This video was so emotional to me, thanks Derek!
    97
  632. I saw this video a long time ago. It just came up again and watched it. Really amazing video. Is it possible to re-subscribe? Haha
    94
  633. Hey Derek! :3
    93
  634. I'm born blind, I'm interacting through a screen reader. And I really admire your work, I really like your content, I'm very happy that it's growing fast! Congratulations on your work and dedication. Motivated by my interest in the computer field, together with my friends, I created a project called Blind Center, our goal is to bring information and show how we use YouTube and others digital platforms! the videos are originally in Portuguese, but if you don't speak Portuguese, you can use the automatic subtitles youtube feature and the English subtitles will appear Hope you like it!
    93
  635. Your ability to do what you love is really, really. inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing this.
    91
  636. I laughed so hard at the part :no aerogel 😂
    89
  637. god i love these crazy engineering challenges people throw themselves against. reminds me of the human powered quadcopter & ornithopter. gottal love human ingenuity
    87
  638. “My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that.” -Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland This isnt a big brain quote on my part, I just sorta remembered it from the book and it vaguely fit the explanation of inertial observation and acceleration.
    87
  639. This is everything I learned in my 4 years of college calculus class (and never understood). Well explained!
    87
  640. Your content is always so insightful, thank you for all the work you put into it and for sharing it with the world here
    87
  641. 8:24 and 8:46 struck my heart. I showed my son your fox and hedgehog video I had seen a long time ago. He is in transition mid elementary school and I thought about you. So your welcome. And Thank YOU. Thank you for your dedication, perseverance, accountability and openness to let us, your thankfully audience see you through your endeavors. cyber hug
    87
  642. I wonder what the leidenfrost effect looks like under this set up.
    83
  643. I wanted to say that as a viewer I really appreciate how you went about making this revisit. It can often be too easy to defend one's position in a way that is basically just lashing out. Instead this was well put together and explanative
    83
  644. 16:51 Students can have a little chaos
    82
  645. Great video Derek! Keep up the good work💯
    82
  646. I was just watching the old vid of the Mars Helicopter
    80
  647. Petr from the surface of the sun: "That's really cool!"
    80
  648. I retired from Carderock in 2020, after a 3+ decade career. If you are a naval architect, this is the place to be. I got to work on some cool stuff.
    80
  649. When Destin said 'teach me'
    80
  650. Amazing video that needs to be shared more
    79
  651. Petr needs to start introducing segments with "I'm here at xyz" so we can make a tom scott like supercut of him
    79
  652. 10:44 don't start vlog videos on your kids x') that's fascinating how much you changed this 15 last years, physically and also the way you talk ;) thank u for ur great videos !
    78
  653. This is the type of channel you’d expect a video a year but we get it practically weekly And I love it
    78
  654. I would like to see you open a can of soda in front of it, so we can see the pressure release.
    77
  655. Wow, learned a lot of interesting things from this video. 1. More details about Earheart's disappearance than just "she vanished without a trace." And 2. A whole lot more about old radio communication and equipment. I never understood what that loop antenna was for or the field with the 5 large antennas in it. Didn't know those were primarily for navigation. Very interesting. Thank you.
    77
  656. The tennis racket theorem is so cool. I saw it in my mechanics course years ago and it is still fascinating to me now.
    76
  657. “Stop it?” “Yeah u can push the button now” Relatable 😂
    76
  658. A 34 minute video. About math. And somehow, absolutely all of it is interesting. Veritasium is a legend. :D
    76
  659. love ur channel bro, some of the best content on yt that actually isn’t a waste of time.
    75
  660. @Veritasium Compare this video to any of your videos from nearly a decade ago... the quality is soooo good now. Bravo Derek!!
    74
  661. Monday is odd
    71
  662. This one video helped answer soooo many questions, at the level of both physics and philosophy. Thank you for all the interesting work you do and help us understand our world a little better!
    71
  663. love your vids, keep doing what you do well !!
    71
  664. It would be incomplete to say its "The theory of everything". this itself is actually "Everything"...? Like the universe's working. No theories, no hypothesis but rather just "is". This feels like the universe's own flow state of consciousness. Its just is!!! Thank you so much for this video.
    71
  665. I just want to say this is a really good video, I'm terrible at math, but I actually understood this
    71
  666. GREAT WORK MAN YOUR VIDEOS TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT PHYSICS AND IT MADE ME HAVE A LOT OF INTEREST IN PHYSICS AND OTHER SCIENTIFIC FIELDS
    69
  667. Mechanical TV for the masses! All power to the vidicons, image orthicons and iconoscopes! From a Labguy and Veritasium fan: thoroughly well researched and executed. Thank you.
    69
  668. I subscribed and rang the bell after your heartfelt request in "Why I went viral".. Now I know the importance of it. Loving the content
    68
  669. I'm a pilot. I've been flying for 8 years. I've studied sense and loop antennas. I've taught other pilots about sense and loop antennas. And I've never understood them as well as I do now! Your videos are great, thank you for your dedication and effort.
    68
  670. I love this channel. Every time I click on one of your videos, I’m left with something to think about for the rest of the day. Everything you post seems to be interesting even if I’m not necessarily interested in it. It’s like you have a superpower that lets you make anything and everything interesting. Great work!
    67
  671. A wonderful video on many different levels. You show everyone watching this video that there isn't always a clear-cut path to getting where you want to go, especially when you have a dream outside of the normal. And that sometimes the indirect path can really lead to some great changes in our lives, including gaining a family. As for the Survivor Bias...I think there's also the fact that many people ultimately stop trying as well. It's the same thing as "your keys are always in the last place you look" because then you stop looking. Those who make it partially do so because they kept trying until they did. And that was a brilliant proposal!
    67
  672. Just watched the movie!! It was really a struggle not to spoiler everything for my brother lol Edit: What I mean is that the video gave me so much insights it was hard not to explain every detail of the movie today
    67
  673. I've come back to your channel lately, you're making really amazing videos now. This was so much fun to watch, all the best.
    65
  674. It's Latif! What a great collaboration! Nasser's enthusiasm for science history is the best part of Radiolab, so him showing up here is a happy surprise!
    64
  675. I've been watching you since my high school physics teacher showed us your videos, and I'll be watching for as long as this channel exists, you've come a long way!
    63
  676. The rush of happiness I felt at 8:13!! how beautiful! Ps: After watching this video I gotta say that you’re always speaking my thoughts it’s so crazy. And you will never know how much impact you have on my life. BUT just know that I want to thank YOU too for changing people’s lives for the better (and after reading a lot of comments that’s def confirmed) and for inspiring me and igniting happiness, motivation and hope in me.
    63
  677. I do wish you still talked to bystanders about surprising science still. Its always fun
    62
  678. Honestly, every Veritasium video changes the way we see the world !
    61
  679. Is the Veritasium toxic? Just kidding. Greetings from Texas (I'm from Mexico)
    61
  680. This video sincerely hits home. Everyday, my engineering coursework emphasizes ethics and uses the very examples in this video to illuminate the importance of engineering ethics. I'm proud to say that I am learning the ethical approach to engineering. Kudos, Veritasium.
    60
  681. I LOVE Theo Jansen!!! So stoked you did a video about his little walky dudes
    60
  682. I love watching Veritasium. Such high quality videos, super easy to understand but not too easy to understand either. Their just perfect. Thanks for posting this video I love it!!!
    59
  683. Adding the capacitors in just made everything click for me! Great job in explaining everything and bridging the gap between E&M physics/Maxwell's equations and standard EE circuit models!!
    59
  684. Entropy has always allowed me to make sense of the world around me. I love how you explained it here and love all your work. I would love it if you added names of institutions that take donations to support research in the topic of the video. Thanks again for spreading the knowledge.
    57
  685. Hi, it is because there is more steel on the rail hence, the rail absorbs more heat at the top allowing it to cool faster at the top. yes the bottom would be exposed longer, but the volume of steel at the top (the steel rails not the liquid) is higher hence, it can absorb more heat from the liquid allowing it to cool faster relative to the bottom part. Hope that made sense!
    56
  686. Being able to present it this way is truly an art ❤. I hope to reach there someday...
    56
  687. The message from the video "Is Success Luck or Hard Work?" had the most impact on me.
    56
  688. Dang. The detail in this video is absolutely wild. Having wheel in the Electra 10-E is incredible. I dont think anyone else would put that much detail in.
    54
  689. The fact that he does all of this with plastic tubes, bottles and cable ties, is truly remarkable. An absolute genius.
    54
  690. Thank you so much for this amazing video! My boyfriend and I had an amazing evening because of it! As a teacher, I can truly say that you are an example for me, both in your enthusiasm as in your clear way of explaining things! Thank you!
    52
  691. the pace of video uploads have slowed to a crawl shoutout to this beautiful sentence ideas... something with language aquisition but that's just cause i am personally obsessed with it
    51
  692. This is by far the best explanation I have seen in my entire life. The 3D simulations are absolutely fantastic for being able to visualize the effect of the fields. Thanks!
    49
  693. 11:12 Science trick shots

  694. Honestly you’ve carried me through my teenage years and you have inspired me to take a lot of science subjects for my final 3 years of high school here in South Africa. As an 18 year old and prospective physics/computer science student I am truly grateful for you being there for not just me, but every single Veritasium community member out there. THANK YOU DEREK!
    49
  695. Thanks for being so transparent about this topic!
    48
  696. My favorite two channels in one video? I must be dreaming. I was scared of flying but watching Mentour Pilot allowed me to go through turbulence without even paying attention to it. Thanks Derek for this video.
    48
  697. Thanks! for Entropy vid, it flipped my mind...love your work <3
    48
  698. Great job on making this video. As a full time Heli-Ski Guide and Avalanche Professional living in the mountains of Western Canada. I've taught these corses for yrs. This one was well done for the novelist and can hopefully help those who read about avalanche fatalities have a better understanding to how the snow pack develops and behaves under certain criteria.Great awareness video!

  699. I was on my bike the other day with a tailwind (a welcome event for a cyclist) and was thinking about my speed relative to the wind and if once I reached or exceeded the speed of the tailwind does it still contribute to my net watts and make it easier for me to maintain that speed or is it no longer a factor? I also considered the fact that even if I'm exceeding the speed of the tailwind it would still contribute to a slower headwind since I'd be traveling at say 20mph with a 15mph tailwind, meaning I'm only pedaling through the wind at 5mph.
    48
  700. I really liked this video, almost more then your science ones. Great job and keep it up!
    47
  701. TheTruthSentMe Speed is always distance over time. The total distance is twice the track length and you can choose whatever speed you want for the first lap.

  702. As a blind person with tinnitus, I gotta say that it totally breaks some of the really neat stuff I used to be able !. I used to spar with friends with swords and staves, but now I basically don't, because I have a constant ringing in the sound spectrum I used for echolocation, which is probably dependent on my ear shape. It's really quite problematic for me. I used to go without my cane through public familiar spaces, like my school, and I avoided people naturally and easily. Now, even with my cane, I sometimes run into people like a cartoon blind person, simply because the sounds, which used to be audible to me, of the environment echoing off people's skeleton and other dense parts is pretty much exactly where I have the ringing. I would do just about anything to lose this horrible disability. Tinnitus is the worst!
    46
  703. What a great video. When i studied statistics and calculus at university, we had posed this very question to a few professors, but they were never able to explain it as well as Derek has right here in this video essay. Excellent video. Might be his best yet.
    46
  704. I gotta say when you started listing off all the vids you made this year, it reminded me of how good the vids you’ve been pumping out recently are. The relativity and Newton calculating PI videos were immaculate. This one was also very interesting! Keep up the good work chief
    45
  705. Great work man! I wish to work with you and learn lot more from you. Love from India!
    45
  706. Please never stop making videos! You and your team make some of the best science communication content out there. Veritasium provides the education that public schools fail to do.
    45
  707. A 19 minute video on an element I have been studying for a decade and I still learned so much. Humbling and Intriguing at the same time. Thank you Derek!
    44
  708. I can't wait to see the images the JWST will produce! Unless it gets delayed again...
    44
  709. "statistically speaking, you are ignorant of everything on youtube" haha that's great I'm gonna steal that
    44
  710. Man, I cried of amazement at 16:30. Thank you so much. This is one of your best videos EVER.
    43
  711. Oh nice! 21:48, I saw one of those while on a plane and couldn't really figure out why I could see this circular rainbow circling around the plane's shadow on the clouds. That is a cool sight
    43
  712. Scrolling through the comments I realize that my feelings toward this video as someone who is currently a graduate student in Electrical Engineering is not unique at all. It's amazing what great animation and very well articulated and easy to understand words can do when trying to understand a complicated subject. I've taken probably 6 or so courses at least that use the Fourier Transform, along with classes that utilize the FFT, and never once fully understood what the hell I was really doing and why it worked. Thank you very much Veritasium, this has genuinely helped my understanding of FTs 5 years deep into my college education lol.
    43
  713. So Pascal Triangle is a simpler version of the Taylor series?? 😳😳
    43
  714. I know it won't have much views but I think it's the best video you did, thanks Derek! You made my life better
    42
  715. It was cool seeing you on Bill Nye's show...
    41
  716. Thank you soon much ! This video explains all the basics of my first jobs going from analog phone lines all the way up to SS7
    41
  717. I heard about Gödel's theorem of incompleteness but always thought that it is something extremely complicated and I will never understand it. But you explained it very clearly and simply.
    40
  718. People say ‘this it art’ to some of the most banal, trite examples of human expression… … and yet ask if this is art? This is engineering and mathematics as art embodied in physical form. I don’t often see the beauty mathematicians describe seeing in math, let alone math as art (which my local university teaches as a graduate degree) but in these creations, I do, they’re astounding. Edit: Those physical logic elements make me genuinely happy and curious in a way only Babbage’s inventions have done! I love seeing this stuff, digital or analog, made physical.
    40
  719. "Is success hardwork or luck?" has made me more grateful I think.
    40
  720. Absolutely love it! I literally shouted FINALLY someone explains it this way.
    39
  721. That was fantastic! and so inspiring. I am a 67 year old woman with an engineering degree who taught math in college for 30 years. I have never stopped loving to learn. My latest passsion is to revisit physics because I have forgotten so much of my physics!! :-) I congratulate you on your journey.
    39
  722. I had advanced dynamics for my masters, and this was the best explanation I have ever heard.
    38
  723. Thanks
    37
  724. i literally clapped in a room I was alone..For the great men on whose shoulders we have build the modern scientific and technological world... Kudos to those scientific minds mentioned in this video...
    36
  725. I want to say this: I’m currently an electrical engineering major at Texas state university, and he had posted the video this one is responding too I had no clue what was really happening. It was very vague and confusing for me, and I didn’t know what was going on. I was on my way to take a Circuits analysis course and a Physics Electricity and Magnetism course, and I was a little worried that I wasn’t going to get it. One semester later, he posts this video, I have an A in both classes, and every concept he covered in this video I learned in class. This video was great, and I appreciate your review over your old video, and this one on circuits, Electricity, and Magnetism is one of your best educational videos
    36
  726. see slides 6 and 7 of his presentation that's linked in the video description (Derek's presentation is also worth reviewing)
    36
  727. I feel like i know him so much, but he doesn't know me at all. I've learned so much from his videos!. I guess that's the case with most public educators, people start knowing them so well, but the other way around never happens. How about making a video asking viewers about their journey on Veritasium?
    36
  728. Wow, what a video! Thanks Derek for this amazing piece of documentary.
    36
  729. What if, instead of using a razor, use a color filter. Or multiple, one left, one right. You could possibly deduce in what direction the refraction happens.
    35
  730. I think he's intentionally alluding to that by including that segment. He might have suspected that mentioning it briefly would be a bad idea because that event deserves its own episode to do it justice, and if he didn't do it justice in this video he might have been (rightly) criticized for it.
    35
  731. Thank you. Keep up the inspiring work!
    35
  732. This video and your research has inspired new ideas. I am an engineer at a company working to save lives with lasers. The technology has not changed much since 1970s. I'm blown away by this and feel that we should work together to merge the technologies in a microscopic way. This video was made in San Diego point Loma with high tech high correct?  As a side note, I think you would be interested in creating an educational video with us here. My boss will be so pissed, I should have consulted with him first, yet I'm pretty sure he will enjoy giving you a tour of our developing shop, and our amazing tech. He is the Laser Guy after all. 😁
    35
  733. Thanks yo, that was beautifully said. Youtube with clarity and just the right pinch of ooh shiny ;) I always have had love for your straightforward nature and honesty. I say as long as your hearts still in making the most informative and yet widely digestible content there is ; keep on trucking. -Andrew
    35
  734. I went from 0% knowledge on this to feeling like I truly understand it. Great video!!
    35
  735. This reignited my passion for engineering, theo is amazing on so many levels. It looks so complicated yet so simple from the outside and the more you learn about it the more interesting it becomes. Figuring out the challenges of realigning itself from when it's entering the water to storing the energy in a simple yet elegant way is so fascinating to me. Thank you Derek and Casper for this amazing video.
    35
  736. "Put some headphones on" Immediately plays loud organ
    35
  737. I've been following your videos for quite some time now, and I feel this one is your most authentic and meaningful yet. Thank you for inspiring us with every video, and for this touching message. I personally gave up the "safe option" in 2012, by becoming the musician I always knew I was deep inside, and it was exactly the right path and decision for me. Sometimes, you can't foresee where your chosen path will take you, but opportunities only open up if you are willing to take risks and take a leap ♥
    34
  738. Thanks! Finally beginning to understanding Imaginary numbers relavance to quantum physics
    34
  739. This is literally the best explanation of how rainbows work I have ever seen, while being exquisitely beautiful at the same time. Thank you.
    34
  740. I watch your videos, you are doing an amazing job, for real!! I'm on Chemistry college(unesp) and me and a group of friends are attempting to start a new science series to make the knowledge avaliable for more people, you inspire us just like derek does, I'd like to say a really big thank you for doing what you believe in. abraços!
    33
  741. 1:36 "Doing Science is different from learning Science". THANK YOU, finally. - a physicist passionate of Art
    33
  742. Really cool video!
    33
  743. Damn at this pace we gonna get a full sci-fi movie next year.
    32
  744. Happy new year, Veritasium
    32
  745. This actually... Kind of made sense... Holy crap.
    31
  746. Sad the dislike counter is hidden so i can't appreciate the immaculately high likes-to-dislikes ratio on derek's videos
    31
  747. Damn that was an insane video. I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing of this topic
    29
  748. As someone that works at a store that primarily sells lead acid batteries this is extremely frightening, I'm so glad this is the last video I watch before I go to bed and get up to go to work tomorrow Thanks, Veritasium
    29
  749. Thanks!
    29
  750. Thanks
    28
  751. You've improved enough to be among the best in the youtube game in getting clicks (along with MrBeast, Mark Rober, etc) while still having videos which totally deliver upon the promise made in the thumbnail. Stupendous progress.
    28
  752. Yes! Now this makes sense. I remember taking distributed parameters systems (transmission lines) in college, but we always assumed the transmission line was the shortest possible path bewtween the source and the load. (This is a perfectly reasonable assumption for a power system because your average 220kV transmission line costs $1Million per mile). This is a neat thought experiment that is important because it challenges fundamental understanding. A little embarrassing I thought the answer was incorrect, despite being in Masters program for Electrical Engineering
    28
  753. What an absolutely incredible video. Connecting the dots between theory, scientific discovery, and relating natural phenomena and man made markets. Spectacular work.
    28
  754. im loving that you're uploading so frequently
    28
  755. Happy to see Mentour Pilot here 🎉
    28
  756. This video about human ingenuity and progress is just what I needed after having too much politics. Keep up the great work!
    27
  757. This is phenomenal
    27
  758. WoW you made me gets some goosebumps. This drone flight was the punch of this great video. I’m stunt by the explanation and details exemple we have seen. Congratulations you made my day and now I’m trying to get normal (goosebumps) I guess I’m still shocked. 👍👍👍
    27
  759. Got curious today and checked when I subscribed to the channels I watch and was surprised to see Veritasium as my longest subscription. Can't believe it's been over 7yrs now and the content just keeps getting better
    27
  760. Great Video! Thanks
    26
  761. This is amazing, genuinely learned some cool new things. Though I do want to echo some of the other comments that the shaky editing gave me a genuine headache watching it. I hope that's toned back in future episodes. Can't wait to watch more!
    26
  762. I'm guessing Derek didn't notice this - you do kind of lose the sensitivity of it as you age.
    26
  763. Derek please we need a full version of the strandbeest song
    25
  764. Just arrived home from a big travel and your video made it so much better! Thank you!
    25
  765. Boiling water by reducing pressure in a chamber via vacuum!!!!
    24
  766. Thanks! I really enjoy your channel. This episode will improve my relationship understanding where the numbers come from. I’m a retired statistician
    24
  767. had to design and make one of these for my degree but it was powered by an electric motor, felt great when it walked for the first time. I used a single axis of rotation with every leg in the same orientation, so it had to be balanced in order to walk.
    24
  768. there is an axiom that says that "one physical test is worth a thousand expert opinions"
    23
  769. Okay, I've watched it once. Only four more watches, after taking some notes, reading those, and then perhaps watching one or two more times, maybe I'll have a question. That said... I feel like I am on to what you are saying. Or a question, now, while it's hot on my mind. When I'm standing, and my muscles are pushing against the Earth to keep me up, am I accelerating against time which moves ever onward? I think my question may be more refined, mature, after some further reflection, but if the aforementioned is worth answering, or commenting upon, please do. Great video!
    23
  770. You know you've hit on something really special when your comment section looks like this one. It's not often you see this amount of real debate and intelligent discussion down here. Well done!
    22
  771. This turned into a really great explanation Derek, the writing in this video makes much more clear what you were saying in the previous iteration. So, from a rando on youtube, well done. I hope to see more ideas or concepts explained in such detail, really liked it.
    22
  772. It would probably be hard to get, but a popcorn popping would be cool.
    21
  773. I need the full version of the strandbeest song NOW
    21
  774. So interesting!! Possibly my favourite topic of discussion, especially the path of complexity in terms of entropy. Low and high entropy we have low complexity and in between low/high entropy we have maximum complexity. We have entropic asymptotes with the big bang and heat death, is there a complexity asymptote with infinite complexity. It sure feels like life on earth is riding this exponential curve with the rise of technology and information processing.
    21
  775. Rather than experimenting with the best thumbnail in real-time on YouTube, you could probably get to the best one faster by creating a set of thumbnails and releasing them on an Instagram story poll before you release the video. Then choose the thumbnail everyone voted on. If you want to find out what will most appeal to the general public, ask the general public. As a bonus this would also build anticipation for your upcoming video among your Instagram followers.
    21
  776. Just after hearing the sentence at 0:58 I was about to comment what he said after 1:04
    20
  777. Thanks!
    20
  778. Thanks
    20
  779. I've said it before, but watching Veritasium takes me back to three decades ago when I first saw James Burke and his show Connections. Such impressive, important work.
    20
  780. "A shift in life philosophy towards pursuing wholeheartedly the things that I felt to be true" - Damn that sentence got to me because its exactly the decision I made early this year and like you people couldn't understand why I would quit a prominent job in aviation to start a business talking about mental health to debunk the enormous amount of misconceptions there are out there and give a refuge to those who feel their can't voice out their pains. I made the shift because I realised that on my deathbed it won't be what I did that I'll remember but how I experienced what I did so I couldn't keep living a life that wasn't true for me... Great video and an empowering message! Thank you for sharing 🤗❤
    19
  781. I've said it before, but watching Veritasium gives me the same mind-expanding wonder that James Burke's show Connections did when I was a kid. Not that this channel is copying their format - but just showing the intersection of history, science, and technology in a way that allows each to inform the others. It's such a useful way of teaching those subjects, and I'm genuinely happy there's someone still doing so.
    19
  782. Thanks Veritasium. The game of life is so much like the life itself. It would be great if you can further explore this topic. I have a gut sense that this is key to understanding how consciousness evolved in the universe and in fact how the universe evolved itself. Thank you so much for preparing content that is not only well researched but also so fundamental for our understanding.
    19
  783. the fire piston!! popping a ballon instantly or dry ice that might look cool
    18
  784. As someone subscribed for years but has never turned on notifications, I had not seen several of your videos on my feed until the second iterations. As a medical educator, this has expanded my mind for rewording campus-wide and course session titles. Thanks Derek and the Veritasium team!
    18
  785. Thanks
    18
  786. This was great, as usual! And thanks for linking to my video :) Coincidentally, I'll be putting up a video tomorrow going through an explicit example of how to do Feynman's sum over infinite paths (aka the path integral) if anyone's interested in seeing more of the mathematical details
    18
  787. The exact video I wanted! So neat. Thank you 🙏
    18
  788. Looking good Derek, a bit over produced though. Those weird soundeffects are a bit overdoing it. Apart from that good video. Well done 👍👍
    18
  789. Veritasium Missing the times when you got to the street and simply asked questions to people, and showed them how they really don't understand things that they thought they do. Tricky questions and counterintuitive thinking, showing us wrong to get right.
    17
  790. 4:40 As a Duch speaking person, translation of the tombstone: Here lies burried Mr Ludolph Van Ceulen Former Dutch Professor in maths at the University of this city (Leiden), born in Hildesheim. In the year 1540 on the 28th of January (odd to have the year in arabics and the date in romans) and die 31st December of 1610, who spend his life working hard finding the relation of the circumference of a circle against its diameter (middle line). If the diameter is 1, then the circumference is less than 3,14159... and more than 3,14159... Fun fact: This tombstone was lost but later retrieved and restored.
    17
  791. Be proud of the work you do, thank you!
    17
  792. Entropy is something that always confused me. Thanks a lot for this video
    17
  793. Your video deeply moved me, I have been wanting to go back to learning physics for a while now and your video reminded me of the sense of wonder I had in my freshman year. Thank you for creating something so special, I can’t wait for future videos like this one!
    17
  794. Veritasium Jr. is so cute!
    17
  795. I would like to see those numberphile drinking birds on Schlieren
    16
  796. This type of stuff was what made me study electrical engineering, now I work verifying software (pretty lame) but some day I need to go back to this stuff. Also I am ashamed because I didn't get the right answer and it took me a while to understand this despite having taken transmission line theory. Great stuff man!
    16
  797. Derek, your video output for the last few months has been insane. Although I don’t expect it to continue at this rate, I want to thank you for giving me so much content to enjoy and share with my friends and family. Can’t wait to see what you have for us in 2025!
    16
  798. I've questions : a) Imagine that unbeknownst to you, one of the lines has been severed halfway to the moon - will the lightbulb still light up the same way, nanoseconds after you turn the switch? b) If the answer is yes, why bother buying all that cable, wouldn't it suffice to have some kilometres of cable going left and right from the battery & switch, and from the lightbulb, without connecting one system to the other? Or maybe just some meters? Or some centimetres? c) If the answer is no: Imagine some mischievous green three-legged alien cuts one of the two power lines halfway to the moon, one nanosecond before you turn on the switch. Would the lightbulb still light up? We would at this very moment be in situation a), and according to the assumed no-answer to a), the light would stay dark. But that would mean that severing the cable has an instant effect half a light-second away! In other words, the information "the cable has been severed" will have travelled faster than light!
    16
  799. Wow, I'm really flabbergasted. This is without doubt the best video I've ever seen on light. Every time I thought that the phenomenon had been fully explained, another fascinating aspect was introduced, illuminating a new detail of the physics. It takes a special talent to explain with this level of clarity, thanks for making this.
    16
  800. I normaly don't post comments.. But damn.. I really LIKED that video
    15
  801. Out of every science youtuber who tried to move over to shows like this, you did it the best
    15
  802. Walter White would be so proud of this video...
    15
  803. What a great job on this video. I'm still so proud that the human race was able to get to the moon, & 50 years ago already? Amazing. Congratulations & Happy 50th Anniversary, Apollo 11!! 😃💫
    15
  804. I used the peached leaves in a lab a worked that in! I worked in a plenty of labs that used NIST samples
    15
  805. The explanation that something can remain still even if it’s accelerating due to the “velocity through time” term is what made this video brilliant to me.
    15
  806. Superb artists behind the explanation. Beautiful work. No ai could do this - for many years. Amazing work!
    15
  807. Send all our love to Dianna “the physics girl” Cowern !!
    14
  808. 6:25 10 megatons of TNT equivalent confirmed as being a "fairly big" thermonuclear detonation. Another fun fact brought to you by Veritasium!
    14
  809. Happy Father’s Day!
    14
  810. I do wonder if a machine like this could have another practical purpose like picking up trash off of beaches without using energy or costly materials. Love it when pure creativity can solve real-world issues.
    14
  811. I happed to be wondering about the detailed mechanisms of rainbows, realizing what I was taught in school does not really explain it at a satisfactory level.  I reached a level of explanation that satisfies me, but I was not nearly at your depth of explanation. This video is a piece of art! Want to share a bit about what I find interesting. The question that motivates me is: Where is the rainbow? Technically rainbow is an optical phenomenon, so the problem is ill posed.   Perceptually it seems at infinite distance judged by ocular disparity. This is because both eyes received the ray at the identical direction, giving us the illusion that it is very far way, as the farther the object is, the more similar the ray directions are for the two eyes. However, it is not at infinite distance when judged by occlusion cues because it is not occluded by objects like mountains and buildings. This inconsistency of distance cues between ocular disparity and occlusion adds a bit more fascination about this optical illusion. Again, thanks for this great video!
    14
  812. That last demo was insane! I couldnt really picture the idea of 'every path' until I saw it
    14
  813. "sometimes i think its a blessing not to know how bad you are"❤️❤️❤️
    14
  814. Thank you, YouTube algorithm. You finally worked and showed me something from my Subscriptions.
    13
  815. On fire with the last couple of videos! I'm glued to the screen!
    13
  816. Great content and warm delivery. Let's spread the love! Thanks!
    13
  817. Thanks!
    13
  818. Veritasium keeps great quality of the content. However, this one was exceptional. Got so much of useful knowledge for my research as well.
    13
  819. What would be the difference between your breath after you drank a hot cup of coffee, and your breath after you drank ice water?
    12
  820. This feels like a NOVA episode kinda. I like it. Good production quality
    12
  821. What a journey you have had over the years. I appreciate your love for science and the high quality videos you create. As a chemist and computer scientist, your channel is amazing.
    12
  822. Would it be possible to show the coanda effect with this setup?
    11
  823. For the past few months maybe since last year I've been watching all your videos and i feel like the quality is increasing every time. With each video you blow my mind even more. Keep going strong Derek you are amazing.
    11
  824. Thanks!
    11
  825. Hi Derek, recently I've been seeing a lot of videos doing rounds suggesting why your explanations are wrong. I hate it how it's been done just to farm views and not for teaching science behind things. People don't seem to understand how science is culmination of facts, observations and hypothesis. Normally, I am a silent watcher but today I would like to tell you that your videos are of great help, been following you since the channel had 500k subs. Thank you for your efforts and keep pushing the content like you are.
    11
  826. I would like see you interview Elon Musk on topic you end up relating to it, Maybe like climate, energy battery capacity problem,
    11
  827. This was recommended to me so many times, that I finally had to take my time and watch it. Interesting... as always.
    11
  828. This is such a great topic. I wrote a presentation for my engineering ethics class on it! Cosmos taught me about this! I love that show and Veritasium is probably surpassing that show for me. Keep it up please!
    10
  829. Nah, the element is too rare to get an overdose
    10
  830. Thanks!
    10
  831. Two of my favorite YouTubers with a collab? What a great day!

  832. As a person with a BS in physics, this video healed something in me. Beautifully explained. Loved it!
    9
  833. As of today I have been loving this channel for 10 years
    9
  834. Well, I'm subbed with no alerts (I don't have them on for any channel) and this video at least showed up mere minutes after uploading... I think he's doing a pretty good job at staying on top of the algorithm (you're probably helping though).
    9
  835. This was a beautiful and clear explanation of semi-conductors, AND a beautiful and inspiring story. Thanks a lot!
    9
  836. Amazing journey, can’t believe it’s been 10 years already! Enjoying this q&a a lot!
    9
  837. Thanks! I am now seven years old. I really like your videos.
    9
  838. This was an amazing video! Love the series already. One point I would like you to adress though is the use of metric units. Please either use metric units or atleast show the metric values on screen when talking about feet etc. Thanks for considering. Keep up with the great things you do! Greetings from Austria.

  839. Loving seeing more of Peter travelling, he really seems like he enjoys the places hes visiting
    9
  840. I just want to say you have always made great content, but lately you have really stepped up your game with some mind blowing videos. 🤘
    9
  841. This was such an amazing video, I have never heard about this phenomenon. Really cool stuff !!
    9
  842. I love that you said skål at 5:49 as a real Scandinavian.

  843. The concept of entropy always has been a hard one to me. So many gaps left at the end every explanation. Not anymore, it seems. Thank you Derek and Casper for this awesome step by step guide to entropy. 👍

  844. Thanks!

  845. She did test the loop on HF at Lae and failed to get a null, but took off anyway.

  846. Hi Derek. I have watched your videos for years. However for this one there is a bit of sponsorship. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas. And thanks for your content.

  847. Video suggestion: decision making under uncertainty
    8
  848. Was trying to make a glass pun, but it shattered under pressure!
    8
  849. I have to tell you that this is one of the most impressive things I've seen in along time. Being an aerospace engineering student I find it very cool that you can visualize pressure and temperature gradients on a fluid. Maybe you can try to visualize the boundary layer generated on an object when an air current is applied. It would also be cool to see the transition point between laminar flow and turbulent flow, or the boundary layer separation. Another idea might be air flow through a nozzle. A converging-diverging nozzle must be interesting to see but I am aware of the difficulties of such thing. Nice video, keep up the good work!!

  850. I am a Downhill Mountainbiker. At the beginning of the video I was sceptical, I thought: No, that is not how I ride down on a track, or not even when I ride in the city around. But I had to admit later, that I was wrong, we do need this counter movement before we turn. It is like the Scandinavian Flick in Rally. Really awesome video, I had no idea that people/scientists are actually researching things like this about bikes.

  851. Does "Mark" on mars have anything to do with Mark Watney from The Martian? Just curious because it's my favourite movie
    7
  852. Thanks!
    7
  853. Ah yes, a physics professor who only thinks theoretically and doesn't perform his own experiments. Got caught up in thinking how this could never work rather than thinking of this as a real world problem. The divide by zero issue is something that needed to be thought of in a real world sense, not just mathematically. And the wheel car and board simplification was perfect as well. Fun all around, but this shows the difference between physics and engineering.
    7
  854.  @veritasium  what if you put an image of one of your previous videos before you changed the thumbnail and the video after you changed it and put the number of views below each image
    7
  855. You know Derek's getting serious when he brings out the Christoffel symbols
    7
  856. A system where the creator can upload multiple titles and thumbnails and then youtube adjusts both automatically to then after some time settle on one version or even personalize both for different people with different interests.
    7
  857. Thanks!
    7
  858. What this video demonstrated to me is that some people's brains truly see the world and think differently and God bless their existence. I hung in until 23:13 then, smoke came from the wheels grinding in my head
    7
  859. I love the new things I learn from watching this channel. They may not be things that I would ever use in my daily life but darnit they sure are interesting and fun to watch.
    7
  860. Thanks for demystify this ❤
    7
  861. Congratulations on the YouTube original Derek!
    7
  862. Right, I actually wrote the same thing and then deleted the comment when Derek said it immediately after I had written the comment.

  863. Petr is such a good fit for ur channel, I love his energy always excited to learn and explore. insanely high production quality as always
    6
  864. RF engineer here. Great to see HFSS! Antenna engineers think in Maxwell’s equations all the time. Imagine it as impedance matching the conducting structures to the impedance of free space. Would love to see you delve into antenna design at some point.
    6
  865. Such an inspiring story, and still full of deep technical insights. Fantastic!

  866.  @The_Tactical_Taco  They produce FAR less brake dust than normal cars. Most of the stopping in electric vehicles is done by regenerative braking, ie running the motor as a generator, not by using the discs and pads. Asphalt is already one of the widely recycled products. Road wear from the slight increase in weight of passenger vehicles with batteries is nothing compared to the road wear produced by heavy vehicles and degradation by weather.
    6
  867. Re-watching again, as same joy as ago
    6
  868. This is awesome! It's the kind of quality that I would show my Chemistry classes as an introduction to potassium as an element. Really rich in content and the editing/effects are really slick. I see the hate in the comments but I completely disagree. You and your team have done a great job!
    6
  869. 2 videos within 3 days is such a treat from veritasium
    6
  870. Thanks!
    6
  871. Thank you for the amazing video, it’s exactly what I needed to see going into 2024, and a reminder on how to overcome workplace challenges. Looking forward to all the great videos this year!
    6
  872. Thanks!

  879. Subscribing to this channel was the best thing I have ever done.
    6
  880. The video "Can You Solve This?" is probably the most impactful to me. Really changed the way I think about things till today!
    6
  881. Great work by relativity space, it's such a marvelous sight. I agree with you on 3D printing being the future for aerospace! Love the Omaze campaign and Space For Humanity!! Awesome video, Derek, Raquel and the Team!! Have a great day! With best regards, Darsh from SpaceKind!
    6
  882. I 've watched many videos to understand gravity and space time curve. This is the only video explains it correctly. its a masterpiece
    6
  883. The quality of this is insane!! Looking forward to future episode
    6
  884. Best video yet on this channel?
    5
  885. I hear you, I'm in engineering and I have a background in Photography. I agree, People don't understand how someone can be interested in science/engineering and art.
    5
  886. Congrats!!! I am a small edutainment channel myself, and you have been a great guideline for my channel! (Your 6 Degrees of Separation video helped me a lot for my own video on that concept, it’s my favorite thing to think about). I hope to see much more content in the next ten years, and I hope to reach at least a fraction of your level someday! :)
    5
  887. Really excellent work, and a beautiful way to wrap it up by relating it to how we should relate to each other. Kudos!
    5
  888. Been subscribed for 6 years now. And I'm still as much excited for this notification as I was back then. Love your videos hope you reach 8M soon. ❤️
    5
  889. I think most people don't fully grasp the gravity of this matter.
    5
  890. This is such a good video ! Can't believe LED had this deep dramatic story 😂
    5
  891. Thanks for all your ideas and efforts! I’m indeed intersted with your approach and also facts that you’ve been delivering. Best wishes from Hanoi, Vietnam. Hope we can meet in an unforseen day. Cheers!
    5
  892. Great video. Unlike some of the comments here, I quite like the fast-paced presentation and the animations. Though the over-sized mouths and eyes in the animated people were a bit unsettling. 😅
    5
  893. Derek. Wow. You have outdone yourself. Purely from an educational perspective, the use of visuals, the depth of information, the terse but completeness of sharing, this is the best video I have ever seen from you. Great job.
    5
  894. Really like this video! The model of the mine, the production and locations!! It was all great. Thanks for such good content
    5
  895. This is the most in-depth/digestible video on the internet. I know this because I spent a whole month looking for something as in-depth as this and never found one, with the exclusion of a small handful that did go this deep, but were geared towards people with advanced phd's.
    5
  896. I have seen a lot of potassium and water reactions and that was by far one of the best ones. The force of the reaction on the water caused the polycarbonate container to act like a spring. Awesome, also be careful with that stuff, polycarbonate can be extremely sharp when it breaks the right way. Top three worst cuts I saw over 20 years of working as a cook. Meat slicer, slicing knife, and polycarbonate. Not exaggerating.

  897. I always beleived in this channel ..lots of love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

  898. "If you need another reason to hate paper straws" I died. 😂 Good job!
    5
  899. What you do that adds the most value, in my opinion: covering the science that is kind of tucked away. The shade balls, joint-less mechanisms, and origami applications are all great examples of this. Keep doing what you do!
    5
  900. Thanks!
    5
  901. This video made me change my opinion significantly, thank you Derek! I've been critical of some aspects before, but now I understand much better and changed my mind.
    5
  902. I would love to see a video in collaboration with Raquel, maybe about planetary science or anything she would like to talk about! I'm a portuguese astro nerd and very inspired by her, wanna meet her! I'll pay you guys in pastéis de nata
    5
  903. This really helped me figure some things out. Thank you. This is really significant.

  909. 0:49 The more pertinent question is: if there’s no pilot in the helicopter do you a) go get them before getting in yourself, or do you b) jump in the back and shout “let’s go!”? Lol - I’m just joshing.

  910. Hi. I'm you a month later. So, so very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story, Derek!

  915.  @numbereightyseven  I can make electricity at home. I cannot drill for nor extract and refine petroleum at home. So how would that make me more reliant of the biggest of all companies, the oil companies?

  920. A magnificent documentary. ❤️ We need more people with the science knowledge in this video making industry like you. Who can tech us science with fun.
    4
  921. I thought gravity doesn’t exist years ago. However I do not fully understand how why two objects on each side of the planet is pulled towards the center. Also in order to experience weightlessness in space you have to be “falling” ?? If that’s the case than if you were in space and you “thought” you were completely stationary, than are you still “falling” ?? This is a great video by the way ! 👍
    4
  922. Following you for almost 9 years and really Thank you for amazing content.
    4
  923. The fact that he replied "well" to "How are you doing?" made me oddly happy. Seems like almost everyone I know says "good," and being a grammar snob it grates on my nerves. Also congrats on 10 years! Love the channel.
    4
  924. 😂 I only thought it looked random but beautiful. This video's comment section is the best.
    4
  925. This is wildly valuable
    4
  926. This video is awesome. I stumbled across the same ponds on Google Earth. I was baffled and didn't even know where to start trying to look up what these are. Thank you for this video!
    4
  927. Did i just watch 23 minutes ? Didnt even feel like 10. That presentation gets an A++. Thats high quality content right there, like always!
    4
  928. Mind-bending in the very best way. Stellar job breaking down these concepts into understandable pieces. Veritasiam is a gift to this world. Thank you, Derek and team!
    4
  929. This video is crystal clear
    4
  930. The video of her interviewing Rodney Mullen and how the impossible flip would literally be impossible without the front foot guiding and stabilizing the board mid rotation.
    4
  931. so to me 10:24 is really a good demostration. It shows that the loop strategy is esstentially: to re-distribute the probability distribution (of the number of prisoners who found their number), from normal distribution, to a 31% 100 prisoners + 69% less than 50 prisoners distribution. feels like fighting against ''the prison of randomness''
    4
  932. Thanks! Your videos are like rainbows in the vast internet sky, always a joy to witness. I eagerly wait for them to appear!
    4
  933. What's funny is that I'm a .. casual.. possibly rare.. viewer of yours. It's videos like these that help me become a better content creator that inspire me to watch. However, all of the videos you bring up.. I literally see as apart of the algorithm suggesting to me. Now I know part of it is that I watch you and when I do, you get a ton of view time.. but it's also just kind of funny.
    4
  934. Thanks!
    4
  935. Wow! I was amazed the whole time. This is easily one of your best videos!
    4
  936. The fancier equation to solve the infinite force problem was fine, but Derek's lever analogy demonstration was brilliant. Infinite force but zero distance = no practical work
    4
  937. This video was highly interesting. And Jewitt's way of explaining this topic was very sympathetic.
    4
  938. I really thought you nailed it in the first video. Having said that, the magnificent 3d models of the real time behaviour of the fields and the Poynting vector for example, were simply awesome. Thanks for over-egging it!
    4
  939. I've learnt so much from you and it feels so cool to know stuff which every other person doesn't know. I even brag about this😂 Thanks a lot Veritasium
    4
  940. Well done! Well explained and highlighting the most important milestones and aspects while having to skip probably thousands of others. I think the essence was captured quite well, knowing that one could make hours of video about, er, the history of video.
    4
  941. What a great video! It ties together so many experiences in my life. I remember when I was a teenager during the CB radio craze of the 70s, listening late at night to other CB'ers saying "Skipland, skipland, skipland" as they used ionic reflections to see how far away they could communicate with someone. Then I joined the Air Force and learned about ionic ducting, and how we in the Wideband career field used that knowledge to our benefit. I've even tried to use my knowledge of wavelength vs. frequency to create FM radio antennas of 1/4 wavelength to improve reception. This video explained all of those things in a way that gives me a much better understanding of what was going on, and gave me a grasp of radio direction finding (RDF) that I had never fully grasped. Thanks, Veritasium!

  942. a electric discharge from something like a tesla coil? maybe you could see the air getting hotter
    3
  943. i dont expect that the set up is in his garage. i thought it would be in any sophisticated lab. Veritasium amazed me yet again.
    3
  944. Trying to see a spark from a tesla coil would be cool! Or any spark really.. The spark should generate heat or something... :)

  945. I loved the channel from the beginning. Love from Greece.

  953. Awesome video, Derek! Never knew that’s where the name Potassium came from. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

  957. I Have been watching you since I got internet , Thanks for everything Veritasium
    3
  958. I think this is one of your best videos so far Thoroughly enjoyed it👍👍
    3
  959. Youve been so great to watch for the past 5 years of my life going through high school! Now onto university and you're videos always catch my attention when I see them posted! Hope you have a good year ahead with your family!
    3
  960. To be completely honest I'm completely fine with the video as I'm a supporter for electric car development and saving the only planet we have that can support life.
    3
  961. I kinda love the look and feel of this video, ngl. Idc that it feels different to normal veritasium vids. \o/

  966. "Veritasium posted a new video" reading this just made my day, tks Derek.
    3
  967. This video was amazing, I learned so much about game theory and the world. Now I want to study game theory. Thanks!
    3
  968. I was telling someone the other week, amongst all the incredible reasons to love veritasium, one reason I find so perfect, crucial, I'm not sure the right word but here it is: When you watch a Veritasium video, you don't only learn greatly about the topic of the thumbnail and title of which you clicked on, but you always learn greatly about several other major topics as he seemingly backtracks to give the different contexts and explanations. At least enough to spark further curiosity into each of those different aspects. Each Veritasium video is like a family tree branch, except more complex, if you were to visualize how everything he goes over in the videos connect to the topic/purpose/understanding of each video. The word "amazing" doesn't do enough- forever grateful, thank you <3
    3
  969. Oh yea that boi. Art History first time I ever heard about memento mori.
    3
  970. Thanks!

  976. Thanks for great content and insight. we have literally enlightened
    3
  977. I would love to see a review of your old phd thesis, How would you improve it with your actual knowledge. Also colaboration with other physicists and engineers youtubers. I loved the speed of light video <3
    3
  978. These videos are amazing, thank you for putting the time into the video. You got my sub! Keep up the great content.
    3
  979. Thanks!
    3
  980. The storytelling part of this video (which is like, the whole video but you get the point) is incredibly well thought! Thanks for releasing such a great content for free man. Appreciated
    3
  981. I basically had most information in this already in my head, yet somehow I never really made the connection that film and TV production initially were completely different technologies. Also its maddening how complicated CRTs are compared to LCD or OLED, which are basically just lots of tiny light bulbs with a polarisier.
    3
  982. What a coincidence, the asteroid video has been in my recommended recently. Guess I'll go watch it now.
    3
  983. You've done it again. Another fascinating story that I can't believe I've never heard before. I love what this channel does.
    3
  984. Thanks!
    3
  985. Veritasium Were you trying to mimic the (future?) YT feature that offers variations of a title to different subsets of your audience? Btw keep it up, you’re a good content creator. Been a fan for quite a while.
    3
  986. This was your finest video. It will be hard to top, but I look forward to seeing you try!
    3
  987. Thanks!

  989.  @veritasium  No explanation needed my friend. How often do you run into an opportunity like this? An experience to remember, surely.
    3
  990. I never comment on any video but THIS video is of premium quality. Great experience.

  1007. So many truths in this video. Subscribed for more legitbait.
    2
  1008. Really cool content/subject matter! Not sure I love the different style from previous videos, but interesting stuff and I look forward to finding out more about the places you're headed going forward.
    2
  1009. Mind... Blown! I have a Physics degree but didn't know this... The strange thing about Science is there is always something to learn which improves your understanding. I love it!
    2
  1010. It's cool to see a guy spending his life perfecting such an extremely niche thing, and I feel like all the data he had collected might eventually contribute to robotics and space missions down the road, similar to origami being utilized by engineers for a wide range of applications today. On a side note, love all the Veritasium content we've been getting lately!
    2
  1011. I worked in a newsroom back in the day. We aired at 7pm but all stories had to be finished by 4:00pm because: film.(negatives developed/edited/sound mixed/ final cut processed etc). If a big news story broke late we would run it 'wet' through the telecine (ie: direct from the film labs developer baths.) Then the whole system would be stripped and cleaned before it could be used again... needless to say it had to be a truly "big" new story to warrant a wet-run. Also effects were optically achieved in the lab, even simple dissolves, so we had a budget of two optical effects per week! It may be apocryphal but we were taught that Ampex set two teams to work to design a video recording system. After a year one team came back with all the reasons it was impossible. The other team pressed play.
    2
  1012. Thanks!

  1017. Brother.. This was (as usual) a grand explanation of how electricity gets from one place to another.. It made perfect sense to me.. Which at 70 is an amazing thing to begin with.. I am going to re-watch this several more times to get it straight in my mind.. It will help me in designing circuits of my own.. Carry on son.. Well done!
    2
  1018. Outstanding explanation! Thank you!
    2
  1019. Sheds light on new perspectives of challenges, people, research, business, paths-less-travelled, etc., and with excellent quality of work. Thank you so much.

  1020. Thanks!

  1021. The animations are just soo good. Thanks a lot!
    2
  1022. Shouldn't Youtube have in its interest to make a system where you post several thumbnails and captions and it experiments and tries which one is best? It could test them all at the same time by showing a random one when it presents the video to us and see which have better click through rate?
    2
  1023. Thanks

  1024. Thanks!

  1025. I just realised why this channel is called Veritasium, it's because veritas is latin for truth!!
    2
  1026. I think you could teach us a lot abut being patient, which is one of the most important aspects of socializing, which is one of the most important aspects of being a human.
    2
  1027. Thanks
    2
  1028. Thanks!
    2
  1029. 謝謝！
    2
  1030. Another interesting sound effect is that when a Veritasium episode is ending and the closing theme starts, I immediately feel 10% smarter than I was before
    2
  1031. Do they have a fire safety system?
    2
  1032. You are setting up benchmarks with every video and I can't wait to see the next video where my boy Albert shows up ! ❤❤❤
    2
  1033. It's always a great pleasure to watch your documentaries. Thank you!
    2
  1034. I really like how the old videos were put together to serve one narative.
    2
  1035. This is so cool, great job Derek!
    2
  1036. Thanks

  1037. As a computer enthusiast, nerd, geek or whatever you call us nowdays, this is one of the most beautiful videos i've seen in my life. i use arch btw (not really, voidlinux ftw)

  1049. QR Code Easter Eggs I was able to find: 0:00 - "Welcome to the video!!!" 0:04 - "At least your viewers are scanning" 0:14 - leads to the Japanese shoe store, bwstore 0:15 - leads to a London hotel/apartment building called "Elephant" 0:21 - "Should I over throw humanity today, or tomorrow?" 0:27 - leads to wave break media's website 0:31 - gives the long string of numbers: "731226723687134902616350" 0:32 - Looks up "resturaunt" on a russian stock image site called yandex 0:34 - gives a long string of numbers and letter. 0:35 - leads to a website called viarami 0:36 - leads to a website (.org) called blackwomeninmotion (lots of random qr codes in between these times that likely lead to businnesses) 0:39 - "vaccinated" 12:06 - QR Code (Version 1) "I'm the OG", (Version 2): "I'm a bog-standard QR code" 12:58 - "A Fun Surprise" 13:38 - Same as 12:06 17:02 - Leads to Saily 25:20 - "thirty seven is everywhere!" - Reference to another Veritasium video. 27:51 - Veritasium Youtube Link (aswell as all 8 at 28:03 and the reveal at 28:35) 30:40 - "hello" 30:51 - "vaccinated" 30:55 - Looks up "resturaunt" on a russian stock image site called yandex 31:02 - Leads to alipay 31:11 - also returns "vaccinated" 33:38 - returns the russian phrase, "Трям парам парам опилки" which apparently means "Shake some sawdust" (I don't know if anyone knows what that means?) 33:54 - "/" 34:41 - Leads to the website of the drone show, "fireflydroneshows com" There were a lot of other QR codes that I couldn't get a clear scanning of. I know that some of these codes are from stock videos and aren't easter eggs of the channel, but wanted to list them anyways. Let me know if there are any QR codes I missed.

  1050. You're only human. :) Nice to see you trip up from time to time. Your body of work will last for a long time. :)
    2
  1051. Thanks for explaning, no worries about the likes/dislikes
    2
  1052. You didn't miss a thing. It was great. I never realized the brand until I've read the comments. I'll post your video on FB. Thank you!
    2
  1053. Hey. This was the first time I felt compelled do comment on one of your videos because you didn't talk about e vehicles downsides, from a life cycle analysis standpoint. (I plan on getting an e car but I like balanced discussions) But I was glad to see your pinned comment, we are all learning. Have a nice day
    2
  1054. I don't think this was a problem at all. Sure this was sponsored by BMW - and that might be different than what you normally do. But hey Derek has got to eat!!! Nothing you said was incorrect. I think people who have a problem with electric cars have a problem with this video by definition.
    2
  1055. I think most of us enjoyed the video. Don't beat yourself up over youtube comments.
    2
  1056. AnacondaHL and what about the oil we extract and transporting it to the fuel pumps from all around the world? Whataboutism isn’t helpful. It’s all pros and cons and electric cars are eliminating their cons faster than oil based cars.
    2
  1057. I saw that the video was branded from the start and was a little concerned... but the content was factual, generic and unbiased so I walked away "Up Thumbing". It's possible that the negative responses are either people not watching the video and presuming content bias or the general anti EV campaign that is being pushed to the public. Well done on a straight up video and early disclosure.
    2
  1058. ​ @Krzysztof Mazurkiewicz Manufacturing all the machinery of an internal combustion engine isn't eco friendly at all. Drilling petroleum, transporting it, spilling it on beaches, seas and marine life, distilling it and ill disposing the waste products in lakes and leaking it to underground drinking water isn't eco friendly either. Not to mention the cornficts it causes
    2
  1059. nah my friend this video is fine some videos take high effort, some low effort, it's not for the viewer to decide if you produce a blockbuster movie for every videos Some people just don't like sponsored content, some others just prefer a different brand, and some other just don't like change
    2
  1060. ​ @Dalr42  100% agree on this. Until now Derek has had a stellar reputation for being honest and sincere in his quest for scientific truth, and I want to like the video because I agree the future is electric. But this video was so off-mark in it's one-sidedness. I would love to see Derek redeem himself with a multi-part series on all aspects of batteries and the EV industry, everything good bad ugly and all the interesting stuff in between, done in the hallmark Veritasium style of being fun and educational, yet impartial and balanced. We'll let you off the hook this time Derek, as long as you please keep up the otherwise incredible work!
    2
  1061. Thanks!
    2
  1062. when derek sees something that even slightly bends you know he is gonna make a vid about it
    2
  1063. Thanks!
    2
  1064. Thanks!
    2
  1065. Thanks!
    2
  1066. Wow. That’s a good video!
    2
  1067. I think your producer was way more excited about this video/topic than anyone else has ever been about anything 😂
    2
  1068. One vote for Dupechute! Also ... more videos narrated from ladders. I think the platform suffers from a serious dearth of ladder born narratives.
    2
  1069. Brady making up new words again. Classic
    2
  1070. Thanks! I love your Veritasium lectures!
    2
  1071. this might be one of my favorite youtube videos ever, this is all so fascinating to me.
    2
  1072. Crazily, I loved every minute of this video - I must be just way more basic than some of the more enlightened commentators on this. Keep up the great work. Going to go share with Facebook now, in hopes of interesting the 40-somethings in something more than buying kitchy face masks off Amazon. Thanks D!
    2
  1073. this channel has 17.4M subscirbers, and i think it deserves to have at least 1.74B subscribers thank you for everything. please make collab with 3b1b and keep doing what you are doing - i learn so much
    2
  1074. As a portuguese i say: Parabéns pelo trabalho e viva ao bacalhau!!!😁

  1082. Thanks
    2
  1083. Congrats! Deserves 10 million with all I've learned Edit: Forgot to say thank you for all your inspiration to me for my own youtube channel to start moving from animations to science. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
    2
  1084. Thanks!
    2
  1085. Unbreakable glass ? This cracked me up
    2
  1086. It's amazing how you can spend tens, if not hundreds, of hours creating an amazing video, but in the end all that matters is that one extra hour tweaking thumbnails and titles to triple a video's success.
    2
  1087. Thanks! It was super interesting
    2
  1088. The natural frequency of that thing was hit pretty perfectly at 12:22 it seems, scary if it went on a few more seconds.
    2
  1089. I must say Derek that that video was flipping unreal! 💥💥💥💥
    2
  1090. Beautiful !
    2
  1091. Fingered cross even if I don't win I want to say gg on 10 years you truly are that teacher we all wanted.

  1097. Being stuck in a cold, snowy place is my biggest fear. But I love your narration and absolutely adore the content of your channel. So here I am, terrified and fascinated, thoughrouly enjoying this documentary ❤
    2
  1098. Awesome. Thank you V-team 🙇‍♂
    2
  1099. Thanks!
    2
  1100. I'm calling it before I watch the video: its the path of least resistance ☺
    2
  1101. First time commenting on a youtube video, Cause i loved it.
    2
  1102. This video is soo wholesome!! it's amazing :) And it pairs very well with the Alpha Phoenix video about growing large hexagonal ice crystals, go check it out!
    2
  1103. ขอขอบคุณ
    2
  1104. why bro in all these simulations
    2
  1105. Awesome! There was another video highlighting how "Tit for Tat" aligns more closely with the "Eye for an Eye" teachings of the Old Testament, whilst the New Testament focuses more on forgiveness and turning the other cheek, which is very much in line with Generous Tit For Tat. One can argue that it took many iterations of humans playing the game of life, until a game theoretic optimal was discovered -- not formally, but through religious stories.

  1106. I'm from Utah and I've seen these on google maps before! Always wondered what they are!
    2
  1107. Thanks!
    2
  1108. Wow just watched the entire video and I am willing to bet this is your masterpiece ever produced
    2
  1109. You, vsauce, minute physics and smarter everyday are on the mount Rushmore of science YouTubers!!!!!!! You all inspired me to do YouTube videos of science And I am doing pretty good with 265 subscribers 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
    2
  1110. Hello Derek. This video is compact and concise. I love every second of it and I learned a lot from it. This seems like a youtube original series. Are there many more like this to come? I really hope so. This video connects a lot of info like Vsauce but concise. Your videos and other youtube science channel's are the future of Discovery Channel and Nat Geo. Unlike those in the past, videos today are condensed and quick (but not vague). That's one way I know a video is high quality for me. I barely noticed the video was almost 20mins long. It's kinda sad that it is just 20mins long. Hope to see more. Thanks Derek.
    2
  1111. That ben quote is so applicable for all of humanity. From sketchy medical practices like not washing your hands. To the global warming crisis were facing today. Or the wide spread capitalization of whip its marketed towards teenagers. Idk, it just hits close to home for me. I live in Utah, and we are repsonsible for an astronomical amount of the entire nations chlorine emissions. We hit days where we are respomsible for 99% of chlorine emissions for that day.
    2
  1112. Thanks!
    2
  1113. Damnnn the production is just amazing. Love everything about this vid and looking forward to more content like this!!
    2
  1114. Love the videos Veritasium! You inspire me to love science and keep exploring. Keep up the amazing work and keep posting amazing videos! Love ya! ❤️
    2
  1115. Thankz... oneLuv from PENGE
    2
  1116. This must be the peak of teaching skills, I doubt it gets better than Veritasium videos (also some other creators like the mentioned 3Blue1Brown).
    2
  1117. Thanks
    2
  1118. i am laughing my ass off 4.333 hours ago, veritasium had 9.99M subscribers, now he has 10M subscribers lmao
    2
  1119. omfg this was a good video
    2
  1120. I had to watch the second half of that one twice 😂
    2
  1121. Thanks
    2
  1122. Following u since the early days..Ur love for science and making it easier for us is evident in all ur videos..Top quality production.
    2
  1123. This was truly incredible production value. Wow sir, wow. good job
    2
  1124. This is beautifully explained. Incredible journey to the blue LED! This is a good example of how persistence can overcome huge challenges, and drive innovation. It is a beacon of inspiration for future inventors. Love this Veritasium! enlightening 💡! ~ A curious mind from Uganda 🇺🇬

  1125. Great presentation, thank you!
    2
  1126. What actually made me understand what's going on was the visualization of the fields generated by that simulation software. I haven't had the first 3 misconceptions about electricity but having only ever dealt with the lumped model (in literally every single electronics or electromagnetism class) led me astray. We always acted as if there were no fields outside the wires, all charges were inside the lattice, and that the electric field propagated only through the wire. I'm amazed how physically imprecise, although still working, that model is. You've just brought real science back to education and for that I thank you.
    2
  1127. So your saying there's not a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
    2
  1128. Educational content is amazing, educational content that shapes minds in a way that betters everyone’s existence is praise worthy! You can argue all knowledge does that but sometimes a mindset is more powerful than objective truth.
    2
  1129. Valeu!
    2
  1130. After 3 thumbnails, ok Veritasium I'll see the video
    2
  1131. Danke!
    2
  1132. I love these videos so much! ❤
    2
  1133. To answer your earlier question regarding merch, I would love a blue Ve shirt. In regards to the latter, while I'd probably love whatever you do in the future, I will say I've been enjoying the what seems to be the trend recently of addressing some of science's uncertainties and misconceptions such as how gravity may or may not work as we tend to believe or particularly mind blowing for me, is it possible to measure the one-way speed of light, and could it differ from half the two-way speed of light. Regardless well done 10 years!
    2
  1134. Interesting video! I've been shopping at B&H before there was an internet (trust me, there was a time before the internet. We wrote letters, had dinner together, the phone was on the wall or on a piece of furniture. It was very strange but we did land men on the moon a few times). Their customer service is amazing and their prices are usually pretty good

  1144. I had no idea that magnus effect video was you! Crazy. We watched this video in my Computational physics class probably half a decade ago and simulated the effect and generalized the parameters a bit. ‘Twas fun, nice to see you again :)
    2
  1145. Thank you for this amazing content. First video I've seen on this channel and instantly subscribed!

  1150. OMG Derek is having so much fun, I couldn't stop laughing through the whole video.
    2
  1151. I love this video man! There are beautiful things inside like: good format; aerial views; explosions; well explained science; good storytelling; amazing plastic models... and Derek. It is perfect
    2
  1152. Dude this video is SO good :)

    2
  1165. Thanks for the content so far :) I also started on Youtube over 10 years ago, but not until 3-4 years back before I made a serious science channel. What I would like to see: Do a reverse start of Veritasium, you make contact to some smaller Youtube creators that you find make good content and invite them in for a boost, help create the next generation. Getting big on Youtube was easier 10 years ago, today the difficulty follows the same curve as mining bitcoin :)
    2
  1166. Oh my god ! I really like all of your videos, but this one is just amazing ! I am the person who always tries to understand how things work, and as I am not very educated or super smart I just can’t get enough of all the different topics you cover ! If you ever wanna do any video in Vienna, let me know I’ll be more than happy to help you with organizing some stuff here !!
    2
  1167. Wouldn't be where I am today without your YouTube videos. Thank you
    2
  1168. Very touching story! Hope you can make many more great videos like this to share knowledge and motivation with everyone.
    2
  1169. I'm from Italy and I like the first scene of the video :D
    2
  1170. Danke!
    2
  1171. I just wanted to tell you that you make really good content. Every video you make feed my curiosity in science even more. Please never give up.

  1187. I REALLY enjoyed this video man. The guest experts were amazing... And at the end when I saw the little salt lamp in the background of your shot I felt like you adopted it out of compassion even though you knew it was a fraud. It felt like a tiny act of grace.

  1242. My name is Eliezer I am a Cardiac Sonographer from Puerto Rico fan of Physics videos and Physics itself and I've been a fan of your work for many years, I've looked the meaning of Entropy and Causality as a deep Dumbed down explanation like these and couldn't, u have no idea how much I thank you for these. Keep up the good work, I'm your biggest fan in the Island I can bet.

  1258. I giggled out of joy with this explanation. What a beautiful presentation. I didin't know would react like that but i guess i too have always been unfulfilles with earlier explanations. Usually vertasium videos are way too deep in math for me to understand but this was just right. Thank you. I will rewatch this and tell it forward and can't wait for my 3yo to ask me some day in the near future "dad what are rainbows?".

  1273. The biggest error is making it a game with rewards and penalties. A competition. When everyone says, "Let's not play games, but cooperate", everyone wins all the time. There are errors when people make mistakes. But, as cooperation affects education, business, jobs, food, care, systems, natural disasters, planning, making things that work - are sustainable - everyone wins. With success comes population. So you go to space - cooperatively. Maybe Star Trek got it right that war was a thing of the past and everyone cooperating was not a zero sum game. Hundreds and thousands of years of cooperation changes the world, and opportunities, in fundamental new ways. So, yes, stop calling it game theory. Not games, not theories. But practical solutions. A smart one invented a tick scratcher and everyone won - because that one did it for the benefit of all.

  1322. That was an amazing video! Kudos for taking some very difficult math and making it fun and showing the human element. I enjoy Energy methods in structural engineering because they can work on statically indeterminate shapes. When you brought the Lagrangian back to F=ma I almost shed a tear.

  1374. That was a helluva ride, with a genuinely surprising and simple resolution. I was not expecting F=ma as the result, and I'm a (admittedly mediocre) engineer! I learned about all of the concepts and theorems you raised, but never learned about their relationships; That is a gigantic lack in my education. Damn. I do wish that Maupertuis had lived long enough to see Euler's resolution of his postulate and to see it proven.

  1380. Hey dude, I just discovered your channel via Space Time, which referenced your double-slit reproduction. I really enjoyed the social dynamic of that video, where you talked with random people about the nature of light. I'm just beginning my career as a software engineer, which certainly is one of my passions, but I've also always wanted to be an artist and a musician, so I really resonate with your story and would love to watch your final project film if you wanna share that! ☺️

  1392. I found your channel six years ago and I'm still watching! It's rare to find someone like myself who struggled with a love of both art and science. I'm encouraged by the fact that you managed to merge the two. I still struggle with it. But please, for old times sake, make another acapella singing video. That's actually my favorite and part of the reason I continued to watch.

  1403.  @veritasium  Yeah Derek I think I honestly don't care much about if this was branded by BMW or not, you made interesting points, although yes I would have loved a much more detailed video of this topic, only because it's so interesting! Also, I appreciate that you actually reply back to people about the questions/opinions they have, thanks!
    1
  1404. Veritasium well, I enjoyed the video and thought it was well made, even if a lot of people didn’t.
    1
  1405. Derek, honest comment here, it’s not because it was sponsored or anything, it’s just because it wasn’t like any of your other videos. We are used to your amazing quality and depthless on every subject. Cheers from Portugal!

  1406. Less brake usage = fewer brake manufactures toxic mess( ie. Meramec Caverns), and lower toxic dust on the roadways.
    1
  1407. I think part of the reason people took issue is that some of the benefits you mention aren't benefits to everyone. Less noise is great sometimes, but it also takes away from the excitement of driving. Less moving parts and less maintenance sounds good, but it also means less ability to modify a car. And I think it dismisses the range argument too quickly. Sure, 99% of my drives are just to work or to get groceries, but the other 1% are 300 mile drives to college, 700 mile drives for vacation, and 2 1100 mile drives every summer for work. Being able to refuel in a couple minutes and get back to an 18-hr trip is huge the few times you need it.
    1
  1408. My only objection to this video is that I‘m used to learning more from your content; this just wasn’t as informative as your channel usually is. I didn’t think this seemed like a shilling advertisement.
    1
  1409. I liked the video like every other video of this channel ,I mentioned it so you will address it in future video's if possible .
    1
  1410. Nah, I wish you had a more stable camera. still good content
    1
  1411. It's not about being too branded or too pro-electric (at least IMHO, I guess the anti-electric opinion group is downvoting like crazy, but this to be expected every time you pick a side), the big problem is lack of insight, it's like you are reading from pamphlets written by others. At least include some interview with BMW people...
    1
  1412. And... you need to record more videos on this subject
    1
  1413. I love it anyhow It's good content and positive ad if it is You explained history within electric motors So you did excellent You are the best
    1
  1414. "easily charge at your house" if you have a house, with a garage, solar panels and all that. if you live in an apartment, having to drive 15-20 minutes just to find a parking space on the street 300m away from home, then sure, charging an electric car is super easy.
    1
  1415. Don't worry, Derek. You are doing a good job. People just like to bitch about anything, even when there is nothing wrong they make their minds with their own excuses. Thanks for everything you have ever done!
    1
  1416. Man, you're fine! I thought this was a good video.
    1
  1417. Sorry people suck. video was good, nothing was a lie that could tell (aside from maybe the level 4 being possibly on a closed circuit, just speculating). Got myself an electric and never going back!
    1
  1418. You probably don't have time to read this, but this ad (and it WAS an ad) felt a lot less aggravating to me personally than the dandruff one. It looked like you wanted to make the video and then accepted money and constraints afterwards (though I'll accept your word that there were no constraints imposed). I'd have preferred a longer video looking at the science for this one - though I freely admit that that felt weird when you were talking about scalp fungus and I didn't watch that whole video). I'd like to see stuff about the infrastructure being put in place for refuelling electric cars on long trips, and how that compares with how long it took fuel stations to become ubiquitous. I know a lot of the existing stations are Tesla, though, which probably goes against a BMW branded video. Anyway, for me this one was a "mixed" - not going to hit either like or dislike, but I can see why Youtube didn't suggest it to me and I had to find it on your channel page. All the best for the next one!
    1
  1419. Very thoughtful clarification. Thanks for that. I actually didn't like this video because, unlike most of your videos, this was not very explanatory. It felt more like mainstream media news to farm audience from a popular topic than a scientific video. I always come to this channel looking for something new, but this time you didn't bring up anything really interesting about the subject (or at least nothing that isn't already covered by every single news on the topic).
    1
  1420. Don't worry too much about the haters. People don't realize just how hard it is to make a living at this and you don't get to just snub your nose at a sponsor. Sounds like BMW was very fair towards you with your talking points and you delivered an honest on brand video for them. Good work.
    1
  1421. Halfway through the video I came to the comment section to voice my negative thoughts. Seeing Derek’s comment reflecting on some of his points and the video as a whole allowed me to see what the point of the video, and really put me at ease. When at first I saw this as an ignorant video, I quickly relaxed and saw it as optimistic. Without the clarification I could have seen myself leaving the video very frustrated. Thank you for being transparent and purely motivated Derek!
    1
  1422. This did not feel like an advertisement to me. Happy to know so many companies are working on electric cars. As we have more available, all costs will lower and better ways to build batteries will develop. Thank you for mentioning the things that still need improvement, though. I'm curious, how exactly were the first electric cars run? What kinds of batteries did they use?
    1
  1423. Who cares if this was an ad. My boy here trying to educate and make a living.
    1
  1424. Great video as usual. For me I can't find an electric vehicle that is sufficient for my needs, but I believe it's possible. Another area of improvement would be within the home itself. There are a number of promising technologies that allow us to store high a lot of energy, but it also consumes a lot more space. What we really need is to have communities that purchase larger storage units and then contribute their energy from Solar Panels on their homes. I've made some plans to do this in my neighborhood, but as yet the community is resistive. We also need to get rid of the overdue patents on solar panel technology. This is not ideal. The costs are still very high.

  1453. Thank you Derek, you are are always making super interesting contents, and now not only you are introducing them in a way I can understand (as usual), but you are also making the show super appealing and professional. I can’t even imagine what does it take to reach these levels, but from the deepest of my heart I thank you for your work. I have been a subscriber after the endorsement of Michael Stevens (other genius and mentor) back in 2012. I have to say you came a long way and little by little truly changed my way to see the world, creating a ripple of curiosity and critical thinking. Grazie mille and I hope to see more of your amazing contents

  1457. Such an amazing video Ty! Too bad it seems you can’t return to a previous universe once you’ve passed through to an alternate one, so we’ll never know. Also in regard to the energy buildup at the ring singularity causing it to collapse into its own singularity denying further passage, that would simply be a closing off of one entrance to that universe? The universe would still exist with at minimum whatever information made it across the ring singularity before it collapsed? So interesting to think about.

  1469. Fun fact with the rods of god project, it was kinda used in Vietnam. There were called “lazy dog bombs” they were made of solid steel and were about a foot long if I remember correctly, they were used in the hundreds dropped out of bomber planes to cover a huge area and destroy any concrete fortifications in the area they were dropped.

  1474. I have had a great life thus far. I am not married. Have two great kids. Raised by two very good or great parents. Traveled the world. Great girl friend. Financially comfortable. Have hobbies that are not related to my job. Active and healthy. Two things for me IS MONEY (FINANCIAL SECURITY) & my health. But all in all, many things contribute to happiness. But if there is one or two things that make it more difficult, MONEY definitely makes an enormous impact.

  1477. Up to another 10 years Derek, I'd love to see you grow with us. ♥ In the past ten, I finished school, got my degree, got a job, started working out more, got amazing friends, and gained more confidence and self-appreciation than I could ever imagine. In the next ten I'll just, keep on going, get my driver's license, maybe move out and get an apartment, but mostly I'll keep on finding ways to cheer people up and make them appreciate life. Just like you, only I don't have an amazing YouTube channel. Keep it up, be safe, be happy

  1502. You might be increasingly doing clickbait verging on type 1, but your channel reputation means I'm generally willing to trust you're going to deliver. You can better exploit the curiosity gap because I know you won't leave me hanging. I gotta say though, the question with a simplified answer in the thumbnail is also one of my favorites on YouTube, it means I can leave my curiosity for when I have the time to enjoy it, instead of clicking to find out but not having the time or interest to get through to video. you may not always get the immediate click, but I generally come back to it later.
    1
  1503. ¡Gracias!

  1504. Familiar territory Derek. I liked the point about non-scientific methods, Cod liver oil, bloodletting, etc, being a starting point but the scientific method being a refining agent to find out not only what works and why but what DOESN'T work and why. Too bad we've gone to a post-truth society that seems to want to go back to non-scientific methods only.

Also, a feeling of a deeper connection to it by having this new understanding. This is a good start to the day. Saying this makes me feel fortunate and grateful to have the life that I have.

Congrats on making such qualitative and well-thought videos! Not being shallow and doing videos for the sake of doing them is rare on youtube and we truly respect it!

  1616. I'm a physics major and the material presented in this video is also in the textbook we use for the mechanics course (Thornton & Marion , Classical Dynamics) I did not have a clue about what the textbook was saying in the chaos chapter until I watched this video...

  1623. Over my career of demonstrating chemical reactions, I've caused specks of potassium to do fire-dances in a petri dish and kilograms of it to do explosive leaps across the surface of a lake. But I've got to say, the jaw-dropping way you did potassium-in-water beats them all.

  1626. Thanks!

  1627. Seriously, when I watched your video two years ago, I was worried where this channel may be going. But even now, nearly everything I have seen from you is so far away from what I even consider clickbait (which for me, too, would mostly be type II), I find it genuinely endearing how much you worry about staying true to the video's content. Which, I guess, again goes to show how much definitions vary.
    1
  1628. Yep...I'm a fan
    1
  1629. I think I saw most of your videos, some more than once. So far, the entropy one was my favourite, because I study pchem and it was nice to see thermodynamics discussed in a video. But this, wow. I Think this is the best so far.
    1
  1630. I completely forgot about geopolitics for almost an hour. Thank you!❤

  1648. Look into Barbershop quartet harmony, specifically all male quartets. The harmonies in these acapella arrangements from good quartets will ofter produce overtones, the 'fifth voice', that's not being sung as well as, on ocassion, undertones, which are also, unsung.

  1656. Honestly one of the best videos I've watched period. I've always had the 'naief' belief of acting nice to everyone and anything around me. When faced with arrogance or abuse I would retaliate and forgive, maybe a little too much still. However, I was always wondering if I am being the loser who cares or if I'm actually doing the right thing. If I reflect on life than I've come to a position I wouldn't believe possible and almost everyone around me is so nice to me. Connecting this to some of the game-theory strategies it all makes a lot more sence now and I don't feel that I was naief during my life so far at all. Hope to meet even more of the 'nice strategies' out there. Here is a little token that I actually care.

  1669. First, 100! is used as the number of ways you can order a list of numbers. You assume all the numbers are in one loop, and you see in how many orders that loop can be. As he showed, you still need to divide by 100 to get the number of different loops, because a lot of the loops you make this way are the same. But 100! is also the number of ways you can put 100 pieces of paper in 100 boxes (with 1 piece of paper per box). So this is the number of ways that you can set up the room. So yes, 100! is both the total number of permutations AND the total number of sequences that result in a loop of 100. But only 1 in 100 sequences that result in a loop of length 100 results in a unique loop of length 100.

God damn, i now finally understand some of the math behind it, this is explained so well and has clear examples to give your brain a moment to think about it, man do i love the content coming from this channel, actually improving my knowledge of the world and beyond just ever so slightly one video at a time.

  1689. I love this. I wish I'd have had this explanation when doing my A-Levels 20 years ago. The questions I always had in maths was "what is this for" "where does that come from" and "why?" This video explains all of them for the binomial expansion, something I was forced to learn and use because "it was on the test", not because it had a purpose or a use. I finally feel that after 20 years I have fond some piece and resolution to something that has bugged me for so long. Thank you
    1
  1690. Wow ! Honestly this video is the best explanation for not just the subject in the video, I think its the best explanation and presentation I have ever seen in 63 years for any subject !!! Thank you , God Bless !
    1
  1691. This is the 420th video on the channel, considering your whole thing is 42, that's pretty cool.

  1695. Imagine you are moving with the wind. Because the air is stationary relative to you, it only takes a tiny amount of energy to push it slightly. You can get lots of force for almost no energy. Here energy is energy you could actually capture with an on craft dynamo. On the other hand, the ground is whizzing by. You can get lots of energy from the ground with only a little retarding force.

    1
  1710. Amazing! Thanks! I can imagine what kind of real life applications can use that principle? The simplest one what comes to me is seeing behind the corner? 🤔 Actually, that means the whole of astronomy is completely wrong. What we see is not even close to reality, because at the universe’s scale we have no idea what kind of lights cancel out on the way to us. Eventually there are much more sources of light than we can see, those whose light was canceled out. Also, what about the speed of light now? What if it is a good explanation about dark matter? We simply can’t see some objects not because they are not visible, but because their light was simply canceled out…

  1724. Here in the UK, we have a combination of welded joints and insulated rail joints. This is because in some areas, we still use older style track circuits that need to be physically separated from each other. Still get that clickity-clack 😊

  1761. The Action, huh? It seems scientists and mathematicians are finally arriving at the same conclusions as Saint Thomas Aquinas from the 13th century. ...The Aristotelian, 'Act vs. Potency.' ...Good. This is good. Acording to Fr. Chad Ripperger, the angelic intellect, as opposed to the human intellect, also explores practically infinite paths simultaneously while conducting itself.

  1800. Amazing! I'm feeling happier already. I guess I'm as flawed as the next guy, but I tend to be hard on myself when thinking about my life, my procrastination and the way I should be more ambitious. But this made me re-realise that one thing I'm doing right is to have meaningful relations not only within the family, but also with friends and also new friends. Thanks
    1
  1801. Spending a short amount of time with you in Perth for a coffee morning after your uranium talk the night before was such a great moment for me. To get to meet the real Derek and to learn a little about yourself as a person really inspired me to keep up my journey as a future scientist. I'm now a quarter of the way through an astrophysics degree and I owe it all to great people like yourself Derek. Thank you :)

  1802. I only pretty recently became interested in Amelia Earhart, and I'm no scholar in any of these aspects of her story, it's just downright fascinating to me, despite how tragic. Really enjoyed this video, thanks!

  1807. This is the best of the best explanation of gravity I have been searching for years. I've never had a formal study of the relativity but got a similar assumption since I was in my younger years learning about the curved space-time. Thank you!

  1813. Am I the only one that thinks something so dangerous looks so beautiful?
    1
  1814. Great video indeed! I wonder if you have some ideas (based on what was discussed here) on how we can explain the part in which adding an observer (or simply knowing any configuration on a quantum state) would change the behavior of waves/matters (and therefore the outcome of the experiment) in the double slit experiment.

  1826. I gave a talk about the Feigenbaum diagram at age 14 in school together with a friend. I remember writing a QBasic program which plotted the graph and allowed zooming. For some reason the program didn't work during the talk at first and I had to fix it live while my friend was trying to keep the audience engaged. We really were nerds back then (now we are super nerds). 20 years later I have a daughter of six years who is just as nerdy as I was back then. And the best part is, right before this video was recommended I showed her my old QBasic program of the Feigenbaum diagram :).

  1838. Great video. I like the conclusion that AI and other advances can in technology will make more room for genuine creativity. I just hope humanity will use wisely and to a good ends all the emerging technologies.
    1
  1839. Thank you, honestly, thank you. I have only been watching these videos for about a year and they have completely changed how I look at my life, career, family and everything in the world around me. It has sparked a new interest in science that I lost a while ago after university. I am a Paramedic now (10 year anniversary as well) and the (life) lessons and observations from your videos have helped me cope with the stress of my job. Keep up the great work, looking forward to another great year of videos! P.S. I would love to see more science/physics that could be performed at home. Cheers.

  1875. This video is so beautiful. The first one on this topic really made me uneasy, but I'm glad Derek cares about clearing things up so nicely. Understanding this was really amazing. As always thanks for the great video.

  1876. Your devoted viewer from Dhaka,Bangladesh. I still remember how I found your channel. I had just got my broadband connection and was looking for informative things to pass my time on the internet( This was in 2016). I read a blog post and among many other channels there was your name! I watched one of your video and was immediately hooked. Still here since then.

  1886. I've just taken a short course on Complex Analysis through Wolfram Research. Shining a laser on a glass sphere and seeing the projections of light reminded me of analyzing functions through a Riemann Sphere. The course was a bear, but I'm grateful for that insight of the world. I wish that everyone understood a bit of the world of complex numbers. I'm also grateful for your visualization of refraction as a stored energy phenomenon -- including the phase shift. Impedance is a wonderful tool for understanding the world. Complex numbers are also required to understand impedance!

  1896. The form did not go through so I'll leave this here I guess. What would you like to see from Veritasium in 2021? Exactly the same subtle variety that I fell in love with. The magic came from your constant progression doing what you thought was right. Let no one dictate your channel. Feel free to expand into multiple channels as Vsauce did but in my humble opinion, OG Veritasium should stay the same random funny quirky and highly educational randomness. That's what made me watch so many of them at least. All the best to you and your future endeavours and Greetings from tiny Estonia. You made me love being a nerd.
