I can watch this !
Good video, but you say “umm” so often that I only get annoyed. It would be
10x better if you would skip those sounds. I’m not a native speaker so I
don’t do that umm-sound myself, but I understand it. But please, stop it.
this is brilliant
Speedy is good because there’s always pause, rewind and repeat if it
doesn’t go in the first time round, and if does then its done.
stick to your minute scale : )
I disagree with what that guy said about background music implying that the
video isn’t interesting enough and that they have to add music to distract
you with and make it less boring. He seems to be unfamiliar with the
concept of “white noise”. As for things like the news that cut in more
“interesting” stories between science reports, that’s actually a legitimate
concern… sort of. Variety is needed, otherwise it’ll get stale/boring,
but it still has to be related, on the same palette, tangential topics that
can logically be associated.
As for what that guy said about other channels covering similar topics,
that what collabs are for.

sigh
Beautiful scaffolding around the Cathedral de Barcelona
“Physics has this love affair with history. Math doesn’t.”Are you kidding
me? Math LOVES its history. We teach kids math in order of discovery…
despite the fact that young kids actually understand calculus faster than
arithmetic, and learn arithmetic quite quickly once they have the
foundation.
(Incidentally, you then go into the fix for physics, which is the same as
math: progressive refinement. Give a decent, kinda blurry but mostly right
overview, then improve on that, and improve. Teach for understanding, not
being able to take numbers and give a number.)
My new Guru!
This is totally irrelevant: I am in love with u
Glad to see the person behind minute-everything
It’s a lot like speaking to kids, right? Teaching isn’t easy and I think Mr
Reich does it brilliantly and effortlessly. That’s just awesome in my
opinion. I’m an Italian philosophy major (although I mostly study
communication theory) and watching minutephysics is what I do in my free
time, when I /choose/ to actually sit down and learn while having fun. And
I honestly don’t know much about maths and physics, I probably never will,
but the thing is: this project makes me want to and that’s just like
motivating… Kids. Quality, contents and simplicity. Also a rassuring
voice, but that’s very subjective. Awesome.
I’m 13, and I love these videos.
I have a very short attention span lol. That is why I watch your
vids(Except for this one) Thumbs up if you agree XP
This is honestly probably one of the best though out and presented lectures
i’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. You grabbed my attention and kept
me interested in a topic that has nothing to do with my normal interests,
and teach me about that topic at the same time. Incredible
Ditto. Literally.
I’m OverLordGoldDragon and you, are an internet troll.
why teach physics the way it was discovered when you can teach it the way
it is understood – mineutephysics
I love your videos but I disagree with your perspective of 4th dimension.
What does this guy have against Microsoft Word? Wouldn’t the content of the
words be more important than what you use to write them?
a lot of little pricks… his ‘ums’ weren’t a big problem. my speech
professor actually told me, ‘be yourself’ that ‘um’ is okay. the object
isn’t to eliminate ‘um’ but to reduce it. it’s about confidence, and
effectively communicating a message. i doubt any of you prepubescent
assholes talking crap about his ‘ums’ speak perfectly, let alone to
audiences. now, i agree it was a little distracting, but overall(because i
don’t have a short attention span) it was a good presentation.
