  • The best and most underrated science channel, hands down. This channel doesn't need huge explanation, tons of formulas and images. A simple sentences and simple images, so a 10 year old can understand it, which means he has mastered it to incredible degree. If there were more physics teachers like this guy, I am sure that there will be more people interested in physics. Nothing I can say more, keep up the good work and stay safe mate, you are a diamond.
  • @Pidrittel
    Statistical mechanics are fascinating because they require almost no assumptions about the real world, but are able to describe many phenomenons
  • @Flumsycat
    I watch other science channels and yours is the one that makes me understand the others and learn, you make it really easy, huge thanks
  • @tornadospin9
    Your ability to break down complicated subjects so they are easy to understand is remarkable! Your teaching abilities are on par with Richard Feynman himself! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
  • @DragonKingGaav
    A new In a Nutshell and a new ScienceClic in the same day is the equivalent of winning the lottery on Christmas!
  • @WildGamez
    I saw the lecture by Sean Carroll on wondrium and that was mind-blowing, but this work of imagination is next level.
  • @shreyan_77
    i dont know how many people would read this, im 2007 kid from india, gonna enter class 12th in few months. a year or 1.5yrs ago i was lucky enough one day this channels that black hole video came into my lockscreen wallpapers and i started to watch it and i fell in love with this channel........ was at class 9th end or starting 10th when i got to know about this channel. now im gonna finish 11 , i watched every video of this channel.............. i couldnt understand topics then but now i could understand way more after i read thermodynamics............. have watched ever video atleast twice.thank you sir i really have lots of respect for you...........
  • @knmksthx
    Channels like this are rare. He understands the material so well and can make great animation to convey it
  • @iamone_
    This is incredibly good explanation. Entropy was so strange concept to grasp.This style of education will speed up human evolution. We are so lucky to have this easy access to knowledge.
  • @booJay
    I'm less than a minute in and already I can tell this is the best video explaining entropy on Youtube...
  • Honestly this channel is sick. Prolly one the best science channels on YouTube. I seriously wouldn't have picked A level physics if it wasn't for this.
  • @nicsmith6597
    Thank you for another amazing video. Every single video I watch is another "ohhhhhh now I get it" moment, even when I go in thinking I have a grasp of the concept!
  • The best way to describe entropy is that the universe is slowly but surely grinding down and erasing all traces of us humans ever having existed
  • @blablablaj
    Your channel has sparked a newfound curiousity for science, I love it ! Now rather than Internet drama, I often get recommendations about the unusual science concepts I never heard before and I'm glad that for once im not consuming junk content
  • @aditya1010100
    Most underrated channel... Viewers, start promoting this channel
  • @TactileTherapy
    The greatest thing about entropy, is that it is just about the only law of nature that isnt 100% infallible.
  • @MrShtrudL
    The most amazing channel by far, as an undergrad in Physics, I can clearly see that.
  • @Rationalific
    You explain concepts that I've heard about in ways that I can finally understand! Thank you!
