Infinity is a pretty difficult concept for us to grasp. The world we live in is full of limitations, so the idea that something can go on and on, forever and ever, doesn’t come naturally to us. And to make things even more confusing, some infinities can actually be bigger than others.
It’s time to spend another lethargic Tuesday morning wrapping your head around Minute Physics’ latest crash course in science. This time around they explain why trying to name or number the multiple dimensions in our universe is a pointless endeavour.
The Special Theory of Relativity. It’s the most famous thing the most famous physicist ever did, but what makes it so special? Turns out, it helped prove that we could, uh, move. Seriously. Here’s the latest in MinutePhysics’ crusade to educate the stupid, stupid world about Einstein.
Did you know that Einstein was born on Pi Day? The man’s awesomeness is immeasurable. Anyway, it’s Albert’s birthday, and Minute Physics is continuing its mission to educate we the idiots of the world about what Einstein actually did. Here, he’s calculating the size of atoms just by observing water and air.
When someone says Einstein, you think “E=mc2″, relativity and funny haircuts. But most of us don’t have a clue about the specific scientific contributions he made. That ain’t right. So here’s Minute Physics breaking down one of the scientific breakthroughs that turned the German patent clerk into a Nobel Prize winner.
We all know that February 29th only exists every four years, but do you know what exactly a year is? Or how we came to that measurement? Minute Phsyics does, and they’re happy to enlighten you in their latest video.
Minute Physics has undertaken the daunting task of explaining the Theory of Everything. But not surprisingly, it’s going to take more than just a couple of minutes. So they’ve broken it down into smaller chunks, starting with an explanation of matter.
Minute Physics has a knack for explaining complicated scientific ideas and principles in a way that the average YouTube viewer can comprehend. Even when they tackle rocket science, a term synonymous with complicated physics, maths and equations.
Goddamn. How can you not love Minute Physics? This week, Henry Reich explains a family of particles that are the talk of the physics world: neutrinos!
