Hearted Youtube comments on Veritasium (@veritasium) channel.

  1. "Hey there's the southern hemisphere" "Also there're 2 earths" gets me 😂

  2. 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.

  3. Honestly, one of the channels that got me into creating videos.

  4. 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!

  5. 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!!

  6. My subconscious knows, but my conscious mind doesn't - wild. This is true in so many areas of our lives.

  7. 9:01 Honesty goes a long way to build trust. I love how he admits that the discovery was accidental rather than researched.

  8. You should really be GOGGLED UP for this bro 🤓

  9. I absolutely love how this super-knowledgable scientist you interviewed has a spongebob gamer chair (11:05)!

  10. Gun is still telling drew to scroll to the bottom on phone to find the comments when they are indeed at the top.

  11. Hypothesis: Veritasium holds a camera to interview and has someone filming him holding a camera to interview because he has no tripod

  12. Newton schooled himself on Brilliant during the bubonic plague quarantine

  13. 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.

  14. Chuck Norris called and said that he was missing one of his warm up Dumbells.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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 🎉

  18. 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

  19. "Is this Science or Garbage? ... Dutch Art." Nah this is The Best Thing I've Ever Seen.

  21. Congratulations! You still make some of the best content on YouTube!

  22. veritasium changed my life, from almost quitting school to mechanical engineering

  23. Imagine his neighbors watching him go outside for ten seconds with a weird face, sneeze, then go back inside

  24. I'm so glad to see you posting more. Thank you for continuing to educate us.
    2100
  25. The extra depth showing exactly how this works was great. Thank you.

  26. That fly on 5:25 was like "you want to challenge me, mortal?!"

  27. "Gravity is an illusion." Eugh, FINALLY! [floats off, to get groceries]

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  30. 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
  31. I use “clickworthy”

  32. "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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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!

  37. 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.

  38. The power this man wields is astonishing

  39. All this Improvement in cars, and so little improvement in car drivers. Hopefully, self-driving cars will make things much safer.

  40. "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.

  41. How do you post a freaking masterpiece of a video every week? Holy smokes have you been killing it recently.
    1800
  42. I really like the bit about 0% or 100% certainty.... it explains a lot of things.
    1700
  43. 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.

  44. happy new year🎉

  45. Now you and Destin can go on bike rides together

  46. Love that Scott is credited as "Internet Rocket Scientist". Just how he describes himself, and incredibly accurate 😂

  47. It's so fascinating to see the dots being connected from finance to math to a physics breakthrough, science is beautiful

  48. 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).
