- Most Collisions Are Secretly In One DimensionE1
Most Collisions Are Secretly In One DimensionThis video is about elastic and inelastic collisions in 1D, 2D and 3D - and how the collision of conservation of energy with conservation of momentum, plus a secret direction, results in a completely predetermined behavior for most collisions. - The Trinity of QualityE2
The Trinity of QualityIn order to make something good, you need to have the right combination of three things: Quality, Discernment and Taste. This video is about quality vs quantity, the paradox of quality, how to make good content and good videos, etc. Based on my experience over the last decade running a collaborative creative business, MinuteEarth, where we do regular internal reflection and training on the craft of science communication. - Passing A Portal Through ItselfE5
Passing A Portal Through ItselfThis video is about what happens if you try to pass a portal (like in the video game Portal or Portal 2) through itself - do you get a paradox? Infinite recursion? Impossibility? Contradiction? The end of the world? Collapse of the wavefunction? Ultimately it ends up looking beautiful and weird and recursive and... just watch the video :)
