So, recently, through some intense youtube exploration, I've decided to, every once and a while review a channel that I find particularly interesting or entertaining, so that you, the reader may also be able to find and discover new and interesting videos on the web.
Up first is minutephysics (Minute Physics).
Minute Physics is a channel located in Waterloo, Canada. As the name suggests, each video is only a couple minutes long. Each video takes on the task of trying to explain complex and mind boggling questions regarding physics. For example, one video attempts to accurately define "touch" on the most scientifically basic level.
Each video follows the same structure. First, an interesting question is proposed, and then explained through animations, drawings, and real life examples. The end result is an extremely interesting and effective manor of explaining complex ideas.
I have always been very interested in science and hard to answer questions, so I could spend hours on this channel watching all of its equally interesting videos.
There's a lot that can be learned, even in a couple minutes.
On the channel wall, there is a very fitting quote: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" (Rutherford via Einstein). And I think that the channel owner knows his information very well.
