If you want to pull your data out of a black hole of data brokers, then head to incogni.com/veritasium and use code veritasium to get 60% off an annual plan.
-
Redbull will be the first to cover someone going through a singularity
-
"he looks back at you, shaking his fist at a constant rate" something only a physicist would say
-
This is incredibly dense and I like that it wasn't dumbed down, as far as I know. So all of us can take our own things from it. Be it the pictures and animations, seeing what the equations look like or whatnot. I can't imagine more than a handful of people watching this understand all or even most of it. I assume that takes years of hard work, no matter who you are.
-
"You're entire future is now only the black hole" damn I felt that :*(
-
this is why u shouldn't divide by 0
-
Once you get so far into math, the math doesn’t even look like math anymore
-
Veritasium is officially the most underrated channel on youtube. A perfect combination of story telling and quality subjects with a sprinkle of interviews of world level subject matter experts on the topic. Despite covering topics that are extremely complex, Derek manages to explain them to people with no background knowledge on it. You can now get enough knowledge in one hour on topics that would have taken months of scrambling around with books. Thank you!
-
Insane that you’ve kept 6.3 million people watching so far (after 5 days) and gotten to #1 on trending with a math heavy video with the word math in the title. It’s an educational YouTuber master class
-
The transition to Penrose diagram was one of the smoothest I’ve ever seen. Never understood it until now
-
1:00 I already knew this from binge watching physics videos as a kid, but when u actually stop and think about it it’s pretty eerie, huh?
-
I'm probably going to have to listen to/watch this multiple times in order to get a clear understanding of what we're considering here.
-
It's an amazing coincidence that the event horizon acts as a kind of "black shield", shielding the events inside from the outside world, and "black shield" is literally what "Schwarzschild" means in german.
-
As a german, I'm still stunned how a person with the name "Schwarzschild" could predict the radius of a black hole. It's such an unbelievable semantic coincident, as it basically is translated to "Blackshield"... Feels very weird hearing this, as I couldn't imagine a better word describing this phenomenon.
-
I wish there was a Veritassium channel equivalent of biochemistry/neuroscience/bioinformatics.
-
I took a general relativity class and my professor explained it this way. From our perspective, we will never see a person enter a black hole. From that person's perspective, they'll watch the entire course of the universe through time until it ends as he/she crosses the event horizon.
-
"Hey there's the southern hemisphere" "Also there're 2 earths" gets me 😂
-
Seriously, who needs Netflix when you have amazing content like this Veritasium channel on YouTube?
-
I recommend everyone to find the forbidden book titled Whispers of Manifestation on borlest it goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life
-
The knowledge ,the info filter and presentation in rhis video is a class apart. To make people watch a half hour video of boring non traditional/uncool topics is amazing Well done Sir
