Hearted Youtube comments on Veritasium (@veritasium) channel.

  1. My new favourite video from you Derek!

  2. Would have never clicked for strange applications of Magnus Effect!! But I click on every video of yours now, irrespective of thumbnail or title :)

  3. "You're confident that I'm not going to damaged?" "Not permanently"
    3900
  4. So cool to see Bill getting the chance to talk to Derek!
    3900
  5. 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.

  6. Will enough UV exposure cause heavy damage to the skin? Or will it only cause... light damage?

  7. 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

  8. "How do I put this..." at 6:05. Nice Derek, nice.
    3600
  9. "And you're sure that this isn't just to make people look stupid?" "No, no, no. That's just a bonus."
    3500
  10. These sets are absolutely incredible! It’s insane how far veritasium has come!
    3500
  11. 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
  12. Last time I was this early, half the Universe was still missing.
    3400
  13. The BEST non-clickbait clickbait video I've ever seen!
    3400
  14. dude i love her spongebob chair thats fire
    3400
  15. 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
  16. Well done sir. Everything about this is awesome. Also, I needed you to cut every string and you did so thanks for that.
    3300
  17. "You should put on headphones" :) Gets organed
    3300
  18. 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
  19. There's nothing better than a Veritasium molecular biology video on a cold winter day
    3300
  20. need to fold a piece of paper 7 times with that
    3200
  21. You need to get Tom Scott to try this; he's the expert!
    3200
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. "You must get pretty sick of answering questions about The Martian." JPL Guy: "Yes." (unspoken) "Including that one." Hee hee
    3100
  26. Awesome my dude.
    3100
  27. 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
  28. Clickbait title✓ Quality content✓ Perfectly balanced as all things should be
    3100
  29. 7 Veritasium videos in the last month is actually insane.
    3100
  30. When Derek said the Strandbeest was invented 34 years ago, I was expecting footage from the 70's, not 1990.
    3100
  31. 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
  32. 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
  33. Props to Derek for permanently letting a projector shine into his eyes for the whole record.
    3000
  34. 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
  35. 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
  36. Nice video. I also admire your courage for trying to send 10000 half liquid filled black balls all around the world!
    2900
  37. I just waited 10 seconds for someone to sneeze. bless you. what is my life.
    2800
  38. So another example of 42 being the fundamental answer to everything. Awesome video! As always
    2800
  39. Both videos were successful in that they taught many people, including myself, a very interesting aspect of electricity.
    2800
  40. 15:34 the smile on Derek's face when he was compared to Euler made my day.
    2800
  41. 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
  42. The fact that these all need wires supplying electricity constantly makes insects even more impressive.
    2800
  43. 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
  44. Can we just appreciate how well animated and produced this video is? God, so much effort.
    2800
  45. 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
  46. 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
  47. 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
  48. I love how they are crouching at the entrance explaining neuroscience. 😆
    2700
  49. 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 😎

  50. 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
