Hearted Youtube comments on Veritasium (@veritasium) channel.

  1. I'm here for the laminar flow dawg.

  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.

  3. Sending this video to my mom! She’ll be so proud of me..... for once.....

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

  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

  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!

  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

  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."
