Veritasium is an English-language educational science channel on YouTube created by Derek Muller in 2011. The videos range in style from interviews with experts, such as 2011 Physics Nobel Laureate Brian Schmidt, to science experiments, dramatisations, songs, and—a hallmark of the channel—interviews with the public to uncover misconceptions about science.

got the chance to interview Bill Gates so I asked him: Will Covid-19 be the last pandemic? How does he deal with misinformation and conspiracy theories? And what is the next disaster?

On Thursday February 18th, 2021 the NASA Perseverance Rover will land on Mars. It is a wonderful robot, made out of steel and wire — but will future robots look like Perseverance? There is an emerging field of research on "soft robots", where the machines are flexible. These soft robots have many advantages over traditional robots — they're safer, lighter, more flexible and can change their shape and size.

For thousands of years, mathematicians were calculating Pi the obvious but numerically inefficient way. Then Newton came along and changed the game.

This video is about stuff: light bulbs, printers, phones and why they aren't better.

How does order spontaneously arise out of chaos?

This robot has applications to archaeology, space exploration, and search and rescue — with a simple elegant design inspired by a plant.

If there's a hotel with infinite rooms, could it ever be completely full? Could you run out of space to put everyone? The surprising answer is yes -- this is important to know if you're the manager of the Hilbert Hotel.

If you ran evolution all over again, would you get humans? How repeatable is #evolution?

A UCLA Physics Professor bet me $10,000 that my video about going downwind faster than the wind was wrong.

You are not a visual learner — learning styles are a stubborn myth.

How close are we to having fully autonomous vehicles on the roads? Are they safe? In Chandler, Arizona a fleet of Waymo vehicles are already in operation.

The Collatz Conjecture is the simplest math problem no one can solve — it is easy enough for almost anyone to understand but notoriously difficult to solve.

3D printed rockets save on up front tooling, enable rapid iteration, decrease part count, and facilitate radically new designs.

Bowling has been reinvented many times over the past seven thousand years but especially in the last 30. This is the fascinating physics of balls, oil, lane and pins.

Your genetic code is probably already in a database, without you ever giving a sample or permission.

This is a #robot that walks, flies, #skateboards, #slacklines, and might do much more one day.

The story of a controversial physics question on the qualifying exam for the 2014 US Physics Olympiad team. How does a uniform cable beneath a helicopter hang?

A general solution to the cubic equation was long considered impossible, until we gave up the requirement that math reflect reality.

The misconception is that electrons carry potential energy around a complete conducting loop, transferring their energy to the load.

Why are bicycles stable? The most common answer is gyroscopic effects, but this is not right.
