    You deserve more recognition and views for this high quality content , These videos can make anyone understand and love Science ,I request you to keep making more videos, Sir

    Insurance Company: This is all very fascinating, but why didn't you hit your brakes sooner?

    "When dealing with quantum systems involving multiple particles, each particle does not have its own wavefunction, rather there is a single wavefunction representing all the particles." -- This was such a helpful thing to explain for a layperson like myself. I don't think I've seen this clarified in other videos, though perhaps I had missed it. Either way, thank you for clarifying that point.
  • @Milan-db3uy
    I think you are really underrated for how well these videos are made and explain some complicated topics in a relatively simple way.
  • @peterg76yt
    You deserve a lot of credit for producing this. The Pauli exclusion principle is hardly an easy concept (and I'm not pretending I really understand it), but I've never seen a genuine attempt at explaning it before.
  • As usual, these animations are splendid to help with an intuitive visualisation, even if visualisation doesn’t necessarily equate with understanding. But it helps helps gain a foothold before launchng oneself into deeper waters.

    The most beautiful and intuitive explanation of Pauli exclusion principle i've EVER seen! It's awesome!

    1:44 "When dealing with quantum systems involving multiple particles, each particle does not have its own wave function, but rather there is a single wave function representing all the particles." — That's profound on so many levels.
  • You are doing an excellent job explaining fundamental physics using these visual tools in combination with the math. Far too many people are unable to understand the information using math alone and are therefore excluded from the wonderful world of natural science. And I think giving as many people as possible a chance to appreciate nature of these fundamental levels is a beautiful gift.

    This channel is answer to "How should people use the internet?" question. Thank you a lot!
  • Your content is the culmination of generations upon generations of brilliant minds and educators standing on each others shoulders. You are a major contributor to human advancement, and a symbol of what it means to be human.
  • @vinitagupta4760
    Best channel for understanding physics. Love that it contains so beautiful explanations in yet simple way. THANK YOU!!
  • One of the best Physics channels on YouTube! Great Job at animation and explaining the concept.
  • 14:56 At low enough temperatures (to minimize thermal agitation), you can think of each electron pair as effectively becoming a boson. These are called Cooper pairs, and they are a key part of the mechanism of superconductivity.
  • Thank you. I love your videos. I know it takes alot of time and energy to make these videos and it is greatly appreciated!
  • @briannahoff8589
    These videos are great! I love how you relate the math visually and give clear concept ties and explanations! Also, you do a masterful job of revisiting ideas from different angles without being redundant to give a good understanding.
