Hearted Youtube comments on Veritasium (@veritasium) channel.

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. Great work man! I wish to work with you and learn lot more from you. Love from India!

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  8. I can't wait to see the images the JWST will produce! Unless it gets delayed again...

  9. "statistically speaking, you are ignorant of everything on youtube" haha that's great I'm gonna steal that

  10. Man, I cried of amazement at 16:30. Thank you so much. This is one of your best videos EVER.
    43
  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. So Pascal Triangle is a simpler version of the Taylor series?? 😳😳

  14. 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
  15. It was cool seeing you on Bill Nye's show...
    41
  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. "Is success hardwork or luck?" has made me more grateful I think.

  20. Absolutely love it! I literally shouted FINALLY someone explains it this way.

  21. 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.

  22. I had advanced dynamics for my masters, and this was the best explanation I have ever heard.
    38
  23. Thanks
    37
  24. 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...

  25. 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

  26. see slides 6 and 7 of his presentation that's linked in the video description (Derek's presentation is also worth reviewing)
    36
  27. 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
  28. Wow, what a video! Thanks Derek for this amazing piece of documentary.

  29. 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
  30. 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
  31. Thank you. Keep up the inspiring work!

  32. 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. 😁

  33. 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

  34. I went from 0% knowledge on this to feeling like I truly understand it. Great video!!
    35
  35. 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.

  36. "Put some headphones on" Immediately plays loud organ

  37. 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 ♥

  38. Thanks! Finally beginning to understanding Imaginary numbers relavance to quantum physics

  39. This is literally the best explanation of how rainbows work I have ever seen, while being exquisitely beautiful at the same time. Thank you.

  40. 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!

  42. Really cool video!

  43. Damn at this pace we gonna get a full sci-fi movie next year.
    32
  44. Happy new year, Veritasium
    32
  45. This actually... Kind of made sense... Holy crap.
    31
  46. Sad the dislike counter is hidden so i can't appreciate the immaculately high likes-to-dislikes ratio on derek's videos
    31
  47. Damn that was an insane video. I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing of this topic

  48. 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
