Down To Earth

Youth Physics
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about why things on the bottom of the Earth, don't just fall off into space. Plus... PENGUINS!

Defying Gravity

Youth Physics
Sabrina talks about gravity and explains that when we talk about gravity pulling things down, what we really mean is gravity is pulling things TOWARD the Earth.

Brian Cox on quantum computing and black hole physics

Adults Physics
“You’re not meant to understand what I just said, because I don’t understand what I just said…” Physicist Brian Cox on one of the most complex theories in space science.

Why the Hardest Rocks Can Be Easy to Break

Adults Physics
So, rocks are hard. But the scale we use to rank them, the Mohs scale, is only really good at quantifying that for one kind of hardness, and topaz is a perfect stone to talk about to explain that. And you can check it out in our SciShow Rocks Box subscription!

The Trillion Dollar Equation

Adults Physics
The most famous equation in finance, the Black-Scholes/Merton equation, came from physics.

This Nuclear Conspiracy Theory is CRAZY

Adults Physics
When we published a video from Hiroshima, a new kind of conspiracy theorist crawled out of the woodwork.

Brian Cox on how black holes could unlock the mysteries of our universe

Adults Physics
When black holes disappear, what happens to the stuff that fell in? Physicist Brian Cox explains.

What Intensifying Turbulence Means For The Future of Travel | WIRED

Adults Physics
It's not just you—in-flight turbulence really is getting worse.

The Figure 8 Knot Has Never Failed. Why?

Adults Physics
Modern roped rock climbing, one of the nerdiest sports, relies almost entirely on a single type of knot for safety: the figure eight knot.

The Most Misunderstood Concept in Physics

Adults Physics
A huge thank you to those who helped us understand different aspects of this complicated topic - Dr. Ashmeet Singh, Supriya Krishnamurthy, Dr. Jos Thijssen, Dr. Bijoy Bera, Dr. Timon Idema, Álvaro Bermejillo Seco and Dr. Misha Titov.

Forces And Motion

Youth Physics
This video will explain what force and motion are, what their relationship is to each other, and what relationship there is between force, mass, and acceleration.

The Boltzmann Paradox

Youth Physics
How do you know you’re a person rather than a just-formed brain full of artificial memories?

Have You Ever Seen An Atom?

Youth Physics
Scientists at the University of California Los Angeles have found a way to create stunningly detailed 3D reconstructing of platinum nanoparticles at an atomic scale.

What are gravitational waves? - Amber L. Stuver

Adults Physics
In September 2015, scientists witnessed something never seen before: two black holes colliding. Both about 30 times as big as our Sun, they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. A fraction of a second before the crash, they sent a vibration across the universe at the speed of light that was picked up by the LIGO detector. So what are these ripples in space? Amber L. Stuver explains.

How Does A Carburetor Work?

Adults Physics
Air flows into the top of the carburetor from the car's air intake, passing through a filter that cleans it of debris..

What makes volcanoes erupt? - Steven Anderson

Adults Physics
Dig into the science of how new volcanoes form, and what causes their unpredictable eruptions.
