Sunshine Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) My favorite YouTube channel, a wealth of great videos. Edited August 13, 2022 by Sunshine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It's a bit f an old one that. I think I like Varitasium, thought provoking and original, but recently I've had the feeling that he's trying to be controversial. In particular his more recent video abbot electricity not flowing in cables. He postulated that It propagates as a (the) field, dissociated from the "conductors" . That troubled me a bit, well, a lot actually. But as his detractors eventually conceded, he was right! And so it seems, perhaps much more controversially, with gravity. Just a manifestation of spacetime?? Beyond my pay grade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OK Apricot Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 His channel is excellent, I've watched for years. As said very thought provoking but he always quotes the science. Seems to be good friends with Destin from Smarter Every Day and they do some great collaborations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Soon after his "electricity not flowing in conductors" episode the Youtube science fraternity was alight with arguments against his position. Quite a debacle but eventually they conceded defeat! Look at the traffic he generated! https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB995GB995&sxsrf=ALiCzsbroPGnsbNhSFYTCVUz_JHIAClLcA:1660427332047&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=is+veritasium+wrong+about+electricity&fir=vu-TXOHjhEhJGM%2CKGKqVc7h22iWvM%2C_%3BS2CqerFfP9VukM%2CAILw1QQmwR80bM%2C_%3B6O_1xbATem3WVM%2Clox5-l9jAQCwFM%2C_%3BB8Vz-r520tIZmM%2CFAfoPyflrsB0HM%2C_%3BdlTKzNCsOtpX7M%2CCYVzGYxbq75ceM%2C_%3BKART3wIAi0jzkM%2Clox5-l9jAQCwFM%2C_%3BATTdwV4yOzC49M%2CtMlSnpPjPDxIiM%2C_%3B6uUg1jEG7CAWFM%2Clox5-l9jAQCwFM%2C_%3B6NE6Qw5x2ywGzM%2CdMWmci7P_4kC8M%2C_%3BntmEx869z7IaEM%2C-BRSHSak9tJ7fM%2C_&usg=AI4_-kTWrcrvMs9164h1l-SHA-wvZa7txg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi587Tq5cT5AhVDiFwKHZRSBSQQjJkEegQIHRAC&biw=1536&bih=656&dpr=1.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigT82 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I first came across the topic outlined in the video linked to in the OP in the book Universal by Brian Cox and Jeff Foreshaw. Was a bit of a ‘mind blown’ moment but made perfect sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
900SL Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The Royal Society lecture on how everything is interacting fields was a mindblower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is at school everyone tells you gravity is a downward force and then they test you on Newtons Law of Gravity, after that its hard to get that out of your head here is a great example showing gravity isn't a force 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
