Footnote to Today's Video
I should have mentioned stable/unstable equilibria...(unpaid, of course)

In which I answer a question from a fan.
Dark Energy – How do we know it exists?
aka how do we know the universe is accelerating?
New Video – Can We Survive Curiosity?
For the #ScienceMarch #EarthDay
New Video: Walk or Run in the Cold?

Teleporting Schrödinger's Cat
Good morning! (or whatever time of day it is wherever you live)Here's my longest video ever, in which I try to explain TELEPORTATION!Let me know what you think (shorter videos will be coming back next time),Henry
Why You Can't Clone Schrödinger's Cat
A Video about the No Cloning Theorem
New video!
About how moons are attached to planets by springs.(not really... it'll make sense by the end)
New Video!
What is the purpose of life? (From the perspective of the Universe)The final video in the series with Sean Carroll!
NEW VIDEO (Big Picture Episode 4)
How it's the sun's ENTROPY*, not its energy, that powers the earth.*its low entropy, to be precise
New Video! (Big Picture video #3)
Have you ever wondered how complex things like life can arise in a universe that tends towards disorder (according to the second law of thermodynamics)? This is explored in the third video in the 5-part series with Sean Carroll about time and entropy.
New Video!
Thanks for your support,- Henry
NEW VIDEO Short Series/Collaboration
I'm making a series of videos about time & entropy with physicist Sean Carroll of Caltech, here's the first one!
Just for you: New behind-the-scenes

Twins Paradox Calculations
Here's a full pdf (attached below) of my notes & calculations for the twins paradox resolution video, ranging from just general calculations/trying to remind myself of things/re-deriving for the video, to actually trying to decide what specific speed to do the calculations for in the video so I could make the space-time diagram accurately (see the last page – the magic number turned out to be 60% the speed of light).
NEW VIDEO!
The complete solution to the twins paradox.
Math!
How I calculated the proper angle for my drawings in the recent Twins Paradox video

Falling through the earth notes & sketch work
Just for Patrons, here are some of the rough notes and calculations I did while planning my latest video. I thought you might be interested in seeing a little bit of what goes on behind-the-scenes...(make sure to click the link to see full set of notes as a pdf, or click this link: https://www.patreon.com/file?h=5518995&i=428995)Henryps I'm sure there are plenty of mistakes ;)
