  1.  @tim1883  Feynman at one point complains that yes, we need crazy ideas, but the problem is we are bombarded with ideas that are not crazy enough. I think that's being demonstrated here, as so often in the comments columns of YouTube. I agree that both Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics are the basis for industrial civilization and confirmed to 24 or so decimal places but we know they're not quite right; I agree that we need to shake the whole thing up (and E.O. Wilson puts it eloquently in his "Consilience" where he speculates that it's going to be an epistemological re-ordering of our thought, not new experimental results, which gets us out of our present mess. So yeah, we need something crazy. The problem here is that we aren't seeing enough crazy, we're just seeing a whole lot of stoo-pid.

  2.  Science Revolution  We are agreed that QM and Einsteinian relativity, although very very good, are in need of improvement. I don't see that your blizzard of confusion above makes any useful contribution to the discussion. Thank you for trying.

  3.  Science Revolution  You write "Use MIT 10 trillion frames per second camera to measure light speed in a vacuum glass bottle, we can prove light speed in vacuum is infinite, and there is no light propagating in the vacuum of space at light speed." This is a simple lie. You can't.

  4. Long story short: clickbait heading. She didn't misunderstand the greenhouse effect at all. "Light turned into heat" is a simplification of a whole spectrun of shifts, but gets the overall effect roughly correct. But she gets paid per-view, so click-baiting is money in her pocket -- and knowing that there's a whole spectrum of truth is probably worthwhile for us all.

  6.  @jjhhandk3974  "A particle produces a point when measured." Nope. Particles are just as Heisenbergy as anything -- any "thing" -- else.

  7.  @jjhhandk3974  Nothing anywhere produces a point. You're looking at fat, splat, spots. Their location is uncertain, in accordance with Heisenberg. The double-slit experiment produces an array of spots whose distribution, even when they are produced one photon at a time, is best explained as the interference pattern typical of waves. You look it up!

  8.  @jjhhandk3974  I didn't have to look anything up. The raw facts of quantum mechanics in its present-day form and understanding are known to any moderately well-informed person. It's a pity there are so few of us to be found in the Comments sections of YouTube. I'm glad to see you can laugh at yourself. You have much to be self-deprecating about.

  9. Here's the 3 Blue One Brown Neural Nets series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk&list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_67000Dx_ZCJB-3pi The Backpropagation video she refers to has turned into a four-chapter series, which will turn up next to that neural nets group.

  10. Hydrogen is a fuel the way a tin can is food. We store energy temporarily in each.

  11. That Heisenberg would not have an answer on the resolving power of microscopes and telescopes is not credible. These are simply high-school stuff, so Hossenfelder has probably fallen for some cocktail-party version of Heisenberg's Ph.D. problems here. The lessons drawn here, that thinking about the two limits in electron-photon terms could lead to one particular derivation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and that thinking about a question even after the exam is worthwhile, are perfectly sound. The assertion of him being saved from his ignorance by Sommerfeld, however, sounds like your pure, normal, average historical fairy-story. Wien's Law, btw, states that "the black-body radiation curve for different temperatures will peak at different wavelengths that are inversely proportional to the temperature." ~ Wikipedia. That's a fine starting point for anybody who wants to follow the The Ultraviolet Catastrophe path into quantum mechanics.

  12.  @wasd____  Where and when has any hydro power dam broken? Nowhere and never. You're in greater danger from the potential of a passnger jet airliner falling on your head.

  13. Left-right are two directions. Left and right are two more. Time is a dimension. So is space.

  16. How is there a problem with putting nuclear waste in old uranium mines?

  17. So "How to unify quantum mechanics and gravity" jumps out and says Boo! at us again, in slightly different form?

  18. All the virtual particles have virtual spoons attached. The spoons bend backwards and forwards, and thus every part of the Universe rows itself outward. The energy of the vacuum is just spoon-bending power -- measured in kilo- and mega-targs. One targ is the energy of one virtual spoon bending at standard temperature and pressure. In the vacuum.
