Really trying to understand Bell's Inequalities.
hmmmm, considering that the Quantum Chromodynamics video became a main channel video, can we assume that the July video will be the second most-voted, Science Horror Stories?
Dang it! Too late. Anyway, I think there should be polls on which of your glasses we like best and straight or curly hair. And maybe you could do one without that weird Yankee accent you've adopted. Be nice to hear a physicist without an accent for once. And I don't care about your hair, but please leave your section title cards up a couple of seconds longer, or voice over them. And I think it's the glasses from the imposter-poster video. Does actually caring about your viewers and researching your subject make you an im-poster?
I want a report on the current state of quantum computing, fusion reactors or prosthetic limbs.
Now I want a quantum computer controlled fusion-powered prosthetic limb, and I still have all the originals!
Gluon: apply directly to your forehead
So many great choices. I will be really excited about most of these. QCD may get boring quickly but I remember barely glancing at it many years ago, so I am sure I will like it.
QCD...oh my
I'm worried the people don't know how boring QCD is! I will have to think of a way to make it not so...blehh
The one I want isn't in the lead... it's fine
which one
Carl Sagan vs Joe Rogan could get viral. I will give Joe Rogan props for giving his platform to a ton of scientists(at the beginning and randomly later) the bad is that he has given the platform to semi-to full nazis then a ton of looney scientist.(Avi Loeb im looking at you). Also it seems that he has this personality change depending who has in front.
Ugh. Joe Rogan does a massive disservice to humanity. He was fine on Newsradio, but otherwise, just no.
Science horror stories like the Warhammer 40k prequel, "Event Horizon"? Yes, please!
I always enjoyed scientific stories. Isaac Asimov wrote many of these, most of which I can still quote decades later; they are intrinsically memorable. I found it pretty memorable as well when "A Beautiful Mind" actually gave an accurate depiction of Nash's theorem in the scene in the bar. I've always thought science communication goes best when it's told like an adventure story, because science is an adventure. So, if we re-cast option 3 as "memorable stories of how scientists discovered things," I think this would be great.
Picking Carl Sagan V Joe Rogan just because that’s a killer title for the ago that will drive lots of people to the channel. Could be a million view video.
And would no doubt drive some really thoughtful and measured engagement
