New Relativity Video!
I sincerely hope this becomes one of the definitive guides to Lorentz Transformations. Thanks for your support.
New Video!
The Brown Dwarf Debate! (Relativity videos will be back next week)
NEW SHOW!
You've probably already seen this over on youtube, but we've got a pilot for a new show! This video is a preview/trailer for the pilot, and you can watch the whole pilot at https://vrv.co/paradigms .I'm VERY curious to hear what everyone thinks – do you like the story? The style? The format? If you like it, please share it, because the more people who watch it the more likely we are for a full season to be funded.Unfortunately, vrv is not currently releasing the pilot outside of the US, so I apologize to each and every internation...
New Video: Special Relativity Ch. 2
Spacetime Diagrams this time!
Special Relativity Series
First video in the series! Second coming... not sure exactly when.
New Video
The evidence for black holes
New Video
The ridiculousness of black holes continues...
New Video: The Black Hole Tipping Point
All about those Schwarzschild radii!
Testing out a new demo
Patron-only preview: this has been a long time in the works, but it's finally happening. A more in-depth special relativity series!
New Video: Are University Admissions Biased? Simpson's Paradox Again
A followup to the Simpson's Paradox video... thanks as always for your support!
New Video: Time Travel in Fiction Rundown
I've been wanting to make this video for ages... and I finally did!
New Video: Simpson's Paradox
Thanks, as always, for your support!
New Video: Aliens and the SI System of Units
If we wanted to build a teleporter with aliens, how would they know how big a meter is?
New Video: Making Solar Panels with Particle Accelerators?!
It's more clever than you think...
New Video: Bell's Theorem
Aka, the quantum venn diagram paradox. This video was a collaboration with Grant from the excellent channel 3Blue1Brown, and one I've been meaning to do for ages! There's a second video on his channel which gives some background to QM, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzRCDLre1b4
New Video: Should You Worry About AI?
A collaboration with Max Tegmark and the Future of Life Institute
NEW VIDEO! Correlation CAN Imply Causation
Statistics Misconceptions Explained.There's a footnote video, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMbcMMe0D_Y
New Video: Star Corpses (aka, black holes, etc)
I made a video about what stars turn into when they die (and why they're clearly defined), and MinuteEarth made a partner video about why our definition for "Moon" is broken.Watch the MinuteEarth video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAI1N96t8Vk
Another video coming soon...
Two videos in one week?!? Yup, it's happening. This one's about stellar remnants, aka star corpses aka black holes, neutron stars & white dwarfs.Thanks for your continued support!
Unused thumbnails
I agonized over what to call my most recent video, and what the thumbnail should be (something I do with almost every video, actually). Here are some alternates I considered:How Light Can Batteries Get?The Limits of Lithium Ion BatteriesHow Good Will Batteries Be?And various alternate thumbnails
Collaboration: Will Batteries Power The World?
Released jointly with Brian McManus of Real Engineering! Here's his video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahxBbEwhIE0
Interactive Video Question
Hey, quick open-ended question:I'm having a mini conference this weekend with Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown), Aatish Bhatia (http://www.empiricalzeal.com) and Jasper Palfree (http://minutelabs.io) about future math/physics video projects on youtube, possible interactive projects (like more MinuteLabs), possible physics course video series (like Grant's "Essence of Calculus" but for quantum mechanics), etc. I am SUPER excited about this, but it's also a kind of scary new super wide open set of possibilities.So I figured I'...
New Video: What is the Shape of Space?
A collaboration with Jorge Cham of PhD Comics!
Working in the new studio :)
I have my own little closet-sized studio now (have made maybe 2 videos in it so far), I'm not hiding in the back of one of the Crash Course studios. It's very white, and very easy to focus on drawings.I don't normally write where I draw, but maybe that'll change?
Warships in Space?
Just a little story about VidCon and German warships in space.Perhaps some of you have by now seen the new Real Engineering video about warship metal (called "low background steel") being used in space –anyway, if you're not familiar with Real Engineering, Brian makes great videos.BUT what I wanted to share is a little more of the background story, since Brian mentions in his videos that I chatted with him at VidCon about this. But that gives me too much credit.What actually happened was that, earlier at VidCon, a nice guy named L...
New Video: Why It's HARD to Land on Mars
This video was supported largely by Patrons, so a huge thanks for your support!
New Video: The "Mountain or Valley?" Illusion
If you've looked a map or satellite photo upside down, you've probably had this problem.
And a footnote
Double pendulums (pendula?) are super weird... this bit was in the neutrinos video and got cut out because it was unnecessary there. But I figured it was fun enough that I should share it, anyway!Bonus video, so no charge for patrons. Thanks for your continued support!
NEWtrinos Video ;)
Weird quantum shape-shifting? Yup, must be neutrinos.
Thanks to you...
This is what I my work looks like – sometimes. Doing drawings is actually a surprisingly small part of making videos. Mostly, it's thinking, reading, writing, doing calculations and sketches on the backs of envelopes, etc.Anyway, just wanted to say a special thanks for your continued support!Henry
