  1.  @ghostypanic1  This is why videos like these are entertaining, but ALWAYS take them with a grain of salt. Do your own research. You have the sum of human knowledge at your fingertips—use it.

  2. This video was pretty poor on the fact part. Yes, I was shocked.

  3.  @aturner488  There is no perfect person. (Other than Jesus Christ.) Just because someone was against slavery back then does not automatically mean he was morally righteous in every aspect of his life. Or whatever issue you want to glare back through history to shake your finger at.

  9. 3:06 This fact is wrong. Light can be slowed down, even to a stop. It's an electromagnetic wave and is subject to electromagnetic forces. On a related note, it has been estimated that it may take 100000 years for light to work its way from the center to the surface of the sun and escape.

  15. Fact #0: The gravity of the black hole is so strong that you will die before you can even think about being close enough to it. It isn't talked about often enough, but we can't even get that close to our sun for its gravity alone.

  23.  @mansiondave23  Then I will. Communism IS evil and wrong. It is a means to suppress people and individual freedom. If you want to be a despot and fatcat, then be a communist dictator. Standing on everyone under you's back pays very well. The people that claim "Communism isn't that bad, we just need to implement it correctly" are the most-ignorant of human history.

  33. Lots of these videos have small or big "facts" that are misleading, incomplete, or flat-out wrong. I still enjoy the channel, but this is not an authoritative source of sound knowledge and its own sources are not necessarily original or correct or authoritative either. For example, looking at the disclosed sources for this video, one of the sources contradicts this video by proclaiming daily multivitamins don't really do much for you.

  35. And people actually believe that evil isn't real or that satan doesn't exist. For the record, rubber trees do not drip "sap" they drip latex. Sap is a pretty simple substance but latex is not... equating them is like saying milk is the same as water.

  40.  @streetrat160  Not the same stuff as you, that's for sure! It most certainly is an electromagnetic wave. That's why it's called electromagnetic radiation. Please, read a book to keep up.

  41.  @streetrat160  “The terms light, electromagnetic waves, and radiation all refer to the same physical phenomenon: electromagnetic energy. ” Now you've just contradicted what you wrote above, because this is, essentially, correct. But "energy" and "wave" are synonymous since the whole point of quantum understanding is that it's all waves. You wrote "light is not an electromagnetic wave" which is clearly absurd. You have no foundation to lecture me or anyone else. I cannot change this for you.

  43. 8:16 NOOOO! The black hole is properly called Sagittarius A* and that asterisk is not silent—it's pronounced "star." The black hole is called sagittarius-a-star. I might not make it through this video.

  49. 4:30 That's... that's a poor assumption. It cannot be assumed that identical twins have the exact same DNA sequences. They may start off the same, but a little mutation early on can change that pretty easily.

  52. 30:18 It isn't so much the lack of pain that "the brain enjoys" but the other endorphins/side effects it's enjoying. Like any high. Getting addicted IS a choice. You choose to ingest that substance in the first place. You don't choose your body's reaction to the substance, but you choose when and if to have that substance.

  53. Science Myth #1: Science does not prove things or determine facts. Science demonstrates things that are apparently true because they have not been shown (proved) to be NOT true. An accepted "scientific fact" believed today could be shown to be false tomorrow. Science Myth #3: Not all proclaimed science is science. Just because something is "demonstrated by science" or "proved by science" (see above) does not automatically mean it's authoritative or true. There is lots of bad "science" out there. Humans are flawed and make mistakes, inadvertent or otherwise. True scientific thought and research requires a lot of dedication and an open mind. The truth should be the goal of all scientific endeavors, but not all scientific endeavors are endowed to search for truth or accept it once found. The "science says!" badge is today, more than ever before, plastered around as a mark of irrefutability, often with the goal of convincing people who assume they don't have the wisdom or experience to contest such information, that such information can be trusted to be fair and accurate.

  54. Very true, as they don't exist.

  55. 4:20 No, this is wrong, too. There is no such thing as infinite anything in our universe. The only thing that can go on forever is nothing, and the universe is obviously not nothing. Current theoretical mathematical models of black holes indicate that there is a point of infinite density in the very center of a black hole. But anyone who stops to think about this must realize how silly that sounds. We don't understand the center of a black hole, but it's absurd to assume spacetime supports infinite density, energy, and gravity. For the same reason that mass cannot be accelerated to the speed of light.

  67. Smell and Taste are separate things: taste is from the tongue, where the gross essence of food is interpreted (e.g. sweet/salty/bitter/sour/umami) but that's it. Smell is a finer interpretation of the food, such as differentiating molasses from honey. Both are sweet and bitter (acidic) but your taste alone can't tell them apart. But you can smell them apart, whether they're in your body or in front of your face.

  71. Addiction is a mental illness, and all mental illness needs less stigmatization. All of us have flaws and problems and we should be as understanding and caring as is practical with each other. Calm consideration and empathy go a long way. That being said, lots of addiction IS a choice because if you CHOOSE to put an addictive substance into you, you're choosing the (risk of) addiction. You can't choose your body's reaction to the substance, but you can (hopefully) choose whether it goes inside you in the first place. With drugs like acute pain relievers, it can be a profound and difficult choice to make. We all have different tolerances to pain and medicines, so there's no easy answer for everyone.

  73. I thought the pertinent myth was about speed. The video stated existing hairs will grow back thicker because the thicker part of your hair is at the skin's surface and that rises up. The video didn't talk about simulation of "not doing much" hair follicles.

  74. Racial prejudice is not the same thing as racism. That's like comparing a verbal argument with your neighbor to nuclear war.

  75.  @toosaucy1753  “Addiction is cause weak will.” Yes, and no. Addiction typically starts when one CHOOSES to put something that's (known to be) addictive into his body. He cannot control his how his body reacts to that substance, but he can (in theory) control whether it goes in again after that. Will power and determination can affect that greatly. But it's wrong if you believe it's easy or trivial for someone/anyone to conjure those things upon demand. Addiction affects everyone differently, but it's a complicated psychological and physiological condition. People who are not addicted to things struggle to make good and healthy decisions for themselves... it's far worse during addiction. Three things my mother taught me: 1. The easiest way to quit is to never start. (She died a smoker; I never have) 2. You can never know what someone thinks or believes unless he tells you. 3. You can never know what a particular (romantic) relationship is truly like unless you're in it.
