Nice one!
this channel is great and deserves more recognition. It would be really nice of you to promote them :)
+In a Nutshell - Kurzgesagt Do it! Give them a shoutout you would be his hero
Omg HII
+In a Nutshell - Kurzgesagt Yes, really! Give this channel a shout out, it would be awesome!

"We can go bajoomp, bajoope, bajoomp." Is the CLEAREST way I've ever seen the Pythagorean theorem explained!
Bashumb bashub, basump.
It shows it visually, but I dont think it proves it, because how do we know that the skewing always makes the diagonal side of the small squares the same as the side of the big one?
@@nin10dorox the only proof you need is to make a random right triangle.
Measure all three sides.
Then calculate the theoretical value of the hypotenuse and see if theory and observation match.
That is not technically a proof in mathematics, but a few testings of the Pythagorean theorem with different triangles is enough to prove that it is legit.
Kahn Academy has nice videos on the proofs on the Pythagorean theorem
@@funkyflames7430 That would only prove it for the random triangle you made because you wouldn't be able to tell if the hypothesis is right just by coincidence. Even if you did this for hundreds of triangles you'd never be totally sure it applies to all of them. You'd need to generalize it to get a proper proof.
@@funkyflames7430 Did you not watch the part of this video where he dropped a pen a lot of times?
Great vid! When people want to know how we do a science, this will be one of the first places I send them.
Or if they ask me what a null hypothesis is.
This video has so many great reviews from so many great CZcamsrs.
Top two comments from two greats, but also Hank's video where he categorically states this is the best video.
Rusty Shackelford can you please provide a title + channel of the video?
TripleKilz czcams.com/video/HlMjtQjpyLY/video.html Things you just might love from vlogbrothers.
It's the 3rd to last thing he mentions.
Rusty Shackelford Thanks
It went from counting to ten to hypothesizing and probability about our whole existence XD
yeah, and because of that, we can feed (almost) seven BILLION people. Because we are thinking abstract enough to invent, say... fertilizers and tractors. Crop rotation. this is why we do all of this shit. quote from John Green (?): "We [humans] want there to be more of us and for this more of us to enjoy more resources." (qoute may not be accurate)
i mean.... they were all relevant to describing how modern science is done a certain way for certain reasons
Congratulations! You now can done do the science.
+thekamotodragon Correction: "describing how modern science should be done a certain way for certain reasons"
We *can* feed all 7.5 billion people, actually. Just the food wasted before ever getting into anyone's home would make up the difference, *and* we have an absurd amount of inefficient farming methods that we thought were efficient until quite recently, like stripping the land of all trees to maximize farmland. Turns out,, tree dump good stuff into the soil, and for many, many crops clear cutting decreases yields down the line, and leads to increased desertification.
Right now, the nations that border the sourthern Sahara are planting a green belt of trees to take back land that has been lost to the Sahara due to clear cutting, and the land is coming back as a result, and farming has recommenced in the partial shade of the acacia tree.
We also could be farming in urban areas, using recycled water and rainwater, producing phenomenal amounts of food. Do some digging into green architecture and stack farming, for more.
Lastly, we could greatly increase the water infrastructure and agricultural knowledge of people is struggling nations, and give them tech that will help them be independent of national infrastructure, like local water collection and recycling technology.
This place...
I... I like this place...
That pun gave me cancer
Hussam Qazaqui Don't worry. We're pretty close to a cure for that.
+DJFlare84 Puns or cancer?
+Hussam Qazaqui I've heared that carrots cured cancer.
EnergyReaper Yes.
so this is how does do the sciences.
your name.
why have you brought this upon me.
some people just want to watch the world burn.
i get the feeling that you're one of them.
STOP THAT
No now this is just how we can know what is true much less interesting than how does do science.
Reminds me of how uncomfortable your jaw position is right now.
The animation in this is just outstanding
This video is amazing.
Hi
I am an Electrical engineer and an MBA. In 18 minutes, I saw what I have learned in 6 years in a compressed form.
This video has so much science, it is art.
Why would an ee play basketball? praise jesus
I wish schools actually taught things instead of pressuring information into minds so they can pass the next standardized test so the school gets more funding. The things we learn in school are important and maybe if the teachers taught it not to make the children memorize it and more to get them to understand it we could have a more intelligent society. I want a world where skepticism is taught and bad ideas are questioned, not embraced because of indoctrination or criminalization but because of merit.
kballwoof I totally agree and wish it mattered to people that the shit they're pushing has better easier, observable theories for the same unobservable things that they say are Factual. Clearly I didn't learn much usable information from my schooling.. lol
Unfortunately only a small percentage of population actually understands stuff like this and those who do, generally will not become teachers in high school or lower.
@@Jkstolz it does matter to them they just havnt been taught to think for themselves
This Place and Kurzgesagt
both have planets as profile pic
hypothesis: people with planet earth as profile pic produced educational content?
dun dun dun
I can prove his hypothesis wrong...
prove you can prove it wrong
minite earth too!
dnews too
No you can't, his hypothesis states that some 'people' such as this channel, with planet earth as a profile pic such as this one produc*ed* education content, such as this one. Everything in his comment is proved by the video it is commented on.
Hank Green sent me here and I found out I had already liked and subscribed haha. I love this place. I watch again.
awesome. so complete, so breathtaking. the end makes me hungry
+Symbiotic Coherence hungry for KNAWLEDGE
+Amelia Hartman Tai?
Wow... Congratulations for your work.
Definitely subscribing.
Granted there are not that many of them, since discovering this video earlier today, I have now watched every single one of your videos and it was well worth it. You put an immense amount of work into every video and it is wonderfully impressive. You make great content and thank you for the very insightful videos.
4:04 THAT was what I needed in school... No one told me about that. If someone would, I wouldn't fail at maths...
They just wanted us to memorize, like we were robots...
Oh, all my years...
+Katay Unfortunately school teaches calculating, not mathematics. Calculating is "Here, memorize this formula and plus in these numbers." Mathematics is "we have this problem. Is there an easier way to do it? Something that will always work? Oh, look, we found a formula just by putting together the pieces of what always has to be true! Now we can do the calculation quickly, lets use that to explore!" I read a really awesome book recently called 'Out of the Labyrinth: Setting Mathematics Free' by some professors who gather together kids as young as 5 and 6 years old and 'teach' them advanced mathematics by just letting the kids explore, make up their own terms for everything, etc. They end up discovering the Pythagorean Theorem for themselves because it's just obviously true, and they will never, ever be able to forget it because their understanding of how the universe works actually expanded. They didn't just remember something that a teacher forced them to for no good reason. (Being able to pass that teachers test is not a good reason.)
+Dustin Rodriguez That's not how mathematics work. Also, if you find the formula and it happen to be "be true", doesn't mean it really is. You need a mathematical proof to do that.
+Yellow Jelly What isn't? I was talking exactly about the discovery and authoring of proofs. They start by learning the fact that just seeing something is true a bunch of times is not proof, and that in order to have proof, you need an exact argument which shows that it will absolutely always be true, and that it could never not be true and still fit in with the rest of how things work.
Dustin Rodriguez Yes, now are right this time. It seemed to me that you said this "seeing something is true a bunch of times is a proof" in your previous comment.
I couldn't find that timestamp...
4:04 That is literally how Euclid proves the Pythagorean Theorem in his book, the Elements.
Yup. Probably not the way the fact was discovered
Thank you. It seams like a lot of work went into this video, and I'm really impressed in the quality. This channel really deserves more subscribers.
Absolutely LOVE the video. The information and explanations are done so smoothly, not too fast or too slow.
Amazing video and content, beyond words. I'm honestly speechless.
If I could point out only one thing I enjoyed (despite having liked pretty much everything about it), it's your humble delivery. I hope you enjoy making these vids as much as I did watching and learning from it :D.
beeners was probably some unfortunate naming. lol
I think it was re-uploaded because the parallelogram was originally referred to as a rhombus.
+Salamandra czcams.com/video/3MRHcYtZjFY/video.htmlm36s Just wanted to add a clarification about what we're looking at at that point. Seems small but I would have gone crazy for a year if I didn't fix it. Also the rhombus thing. There needs to be less words for things. There's too many words.
+This Place Have you seen the recent book by xkcd? They used only the thousand most used words to explain stuff like the Saturn v rocket and film cameras.
+James Macleod I haven't but it's on my reading list. I've heard some CZcamsrs doing videos with only those words. I find the lack of words actually a bit jarring. I only hate the number of words when I get them wrong.
+This Place Cool, I think I see what you mean. I find it interesting seeing how you describe more complicated concepts with more basic words though
+This Place Lol, I hate words when I get them wrong too. Usually I have a crack and act oblivious to the fact if everyone else acts oblivious to the fact I got it wrong :P
this is one of my ALL TIME favorite videos!
the amount of thought together with a little sillyness... PERFECT!
I love your channel! Your voice is perfect! Also, your humor is
wonderfully timed within in the learning, making it in fact FUN instead
of bland. I have introduced my teenagers to your channel. Thank you
& keep up the great work!!!
This random guy on the Internet is better than the majority of teachers.
As an extremely religious person, let me just say that this is great! You are so funny, so talented, so smart, and so good-looking. Keep them coming!
Great work! I love your examples and how you connect your ideas. I stumbled upon your channel while watching Tedx speakers and Ted Ed. And I feel your ideas and animations are just as interesting and thought provoking plus the humor is such a delight. Thank you for your work and I hope I see a new video every week!
One of my favorite videos on YT. This is the second of Jesse's videos to have made it into that playlist.
Fantastic job! This video made my head hurt! XD But don't worry, that's usually when I'm thinking really hard haha!
PS: Did you animate all of this? If so, what software did you use? I'm working on a science project this summer for my Biology Class. It's covering the Origins of Cells (using Adobe Animate CC). I love watching educational videos that are animated (such as yours) and especially Kurzgesagt for INSPIRATION!
I use the adobe suite. Voice in Audition, draw things in Photoshop, bring them into After Effects to animate and do motion. Then cut it together and add sound effects in Premiere. I’ve used a few things for frame by frame stuff (usually just use photoshop but it's not a great solution). want to try the new Flash “Animate”. I think it looks nice.
Ahh ok thank you!
This video deserves 1+ mio. views
Great video! I've seen it a couple of times during these last years and I really fell in love with this channel. Great content, great animation and narration. CZcams needs more of this. :)
Just watched this old video after watching new one, what you did after a long brake. And it is SOO AWESOME! Please, please make more
"How does do science"
+Jaiden Boucher When I saw the title I thought it would be like one of those Minute-physics "video using only the 100 most common words" videos
+heavyglassglass lawl Im not the only one that thought if that!
+heavyglassglass lawl Im not the only one that thought if that!
+Jaiden Boucher don't understand the meaning, can someone explain pls?
+Алексей Алексеев The correct grammar for the sentence might be "How do you do science?" or "How is science done?". I wanted it to sound simple. It's like the way a child may mess up the sentence.
my observations from this; carrots are devious, beeners are cold and squirrels are messing with us.
this is still one of my favorite videos on youtube to date. the whole video is just calming to watch and it's intresting to ponder.... I love this place
I re-watch this video annually to remind myself of what to aim for when it comes to science communication. Unrivalled clarity and craftsmanship.
Hey! +This Place If you want to learn about how the brain thinks, makes concepts (like chairs), and about general consciousness read “How to Create a Mind” by Ray Kurzweil. It’s on audible and there’s no pre-knowledge required to understand everything in it. I consider it in my top 10 along with The Selfish Gene which I know you’ve read.
Back to the video: I really respect (and share) your agnostic view of the world and science. I’ve tried often to explain the concept in the video to people. And As usual your explanations, animations, speaking tempo and content is the best on youtube.
+Jeff Hykin Cool, I'll add that to my reading list
I really like your animations! What software do you use?
+Matthew James
I use the adobe suite. Voice in Audition, draw things in Photoshop, bring them into After Effects to animate and do motion. Then cut it together and add sound effects in Premiere. Frame by frame stuff I’ve tried Toon Boom and Photoshop. I just bought an After Effects plugin which I will try out later. Toon Boom probably the best of what I’ve tried but it’s vector stuff (I like bitmaps). But I don’t do a lot of frame by frame stuff.If you can't afford the Adobe Creative Cloud, this article talks about the best free programs that you can use in their place.lifehacker.com/5976725/build-your-own-adobe-creative-suite-with-free-and-cheap-software
In the end if you're interested in animation/video it's less about what you use and more what you do with it. It looks like Vi Hart would just points a phone camera at her hands and she’s made some of my favorite stuffczcams.com/video/ahXIMUkSXX0D/video.htmlon Hertzfeldt is one of my favorite animator, he uses paper and markers.czcams.com/video/1IUX0Qy-IDMA/video.htmlnd they’re not my favorites because they seem simple, but because they spend time on what they want to say.
^brilliant
+This Place You are awesome
+Matthew James Or you can find CS6 trial downloads and replace the amtlib.dll - I have one at i.koya.io/amtlib.dll (it is a known work around, search it - use my download or someone else's)
I love that you had a whole section devoted to the principles behind statistics.
I think you have the best educational videos on youtube, its just the right mix of humor and information per minute.
Or maybe 6,000 years ago...
GET REKY 360 NO SCOPE! MOM GET THE CAMERA! OOOOOO BABY A TRIPLE!
What a truly great way to explain science! Poetic really
Can't wait for more videos! This really makes me take a couple of steps back just to look and think about things
This is the best basic summary of science that I've ever seen. Bravo.
This is the best thing I have ever seen ever !
You deserve more views.
i love your videos! hopefully you start to upload some more and more frequently! thanks for the great videos, and happy holidays !
this is truly one of the best videos on youtube. You took your time and described science in 17mins and boy was it worth it.
Good job. +1 like.
This is beautiful

Please make more videos more often. Channel is great but I've watched these dozen or so videos several times over & need more to assuage my intellectual appetite!
Regards from Melbourne, Australia :)
Wow. I subscribed when you had less than 1,000 subs, and I am wildly impressed every time you upload. Thanks for taking the time to make these, and please, keep up the good work.

i enjoyed
i subscribed
now im gunna watch more of you
I like how you're constantly subtly referring to the idea of God
because it's a great example of something unverifiable.
Naturally. I just liked how subtle, yet somehow obvious, the references were.
+TKWeckroth He said everything that needed to be said about God at 11:32, that it is an unfalsifiable and unverifiable claim. A proper scientist doesn't say that things do not exist in the real world, rather they say that the evidence, at least for now, indicates that a universe in which this thing does exist appears to be indistinguishable from one in which it doesn't and therefore knowledge of whether it exists or not is irrelevant. In such situations we have agreed to omit this thing from our model of the universe for no reason other than because it makes things easier.
He wasn't subtle at all, he literally just drew God on the screen.
+TKWeckroth I don't like how you're subtly showing your smarassness by pointing out subtelties.
Ive been sending my students to this video for a few years now. Thanks for making this wonderful piece!
You sure do have a talent for explaining things in an understandable way! Good job, dude!
Amazing video I have to say but what would be more amazing is if you actually rolled all those 1's... Did you?...
I sure did. That's why they call me The Amazing Jesse.
Omg dude your great! xD
Argumentum ad verecundiam!
that's 1 in 60 466 176
How does do attention to detail?
This is one of the best videos on this subject I have ever seen. Well done.
Your attention to details is simply stunning!
But how will I know if he ever eats the hot dog?!? Can I draw the conclusion that he will get it right eventually? The humanity!
It's a metaphor for how we learn through feedback. Because science is a continuous process, we're still in the middle of figuring stuff out, therefore, so the ending was perfect xD
I laughed way too hard at the end scene xD
These videos are great, because they're very simple but they still communicate complex ideas effectively. You're very good at breaking difficult ideas into simple enough parts to grasp, and I feel like that's the entire goal of science communication, so, uh, yeah, kudos.
Omg, this is literally one of the best videos on the internet! I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel! You are so thorough!
There are some hidden religious insults in there. I'm not complaining. I guess I just wanted to put that out there.
Are you saying that science is insulting religion? How so?
***** I'm saying that HE, in the process of explaining how science works, hid a few religion insults here and there. Or at least that is what it looks like.
Interesting. Never came to my mind. More like: there are things to which you can't apply the scientific method...be is squerls with two tails, gods or the matrix. One should not be insulted, by the fact that you can't scientificly prove that God exists. That's why it's called faith. But more importantly, one should accept, that because religion is based on beliefs and faith, he could be wrong.
***** He also mentioned that the universe might as well have been created two seconds ago, a year ago, or 6000 years ago; along with all of our memories of an older universe, and enough evidence to support the existence of an older universe.
Did you spot the insult? He's basically saying that there's no way to prove that the universe was created 6000 years ago (which is what the bible says) even though there seems to be evidence of a universe 13 Billion years old.
While he didn't mention this amount of years was in any way related to the Bible, it just seems like an odd number to pick out of all the other numbers that exist.
Hm...let's not be silly. There is also no evidence that there is a Platform 9 and Three Quarters, even thou it's mentioned in seven Harry Potter books...You can choose to believe in it and no one can disproove this idea (unless you find a magician). I don't know how is this insulting. There is indeed hundreds of evidence pieces point to an earth older than 6000years, raging from bacteria in the arctic, to cosmic radiation from the sky. How is pointing out the obvious...insulting?
The other thing is, is that you can choose to have faith and believe in whatever you want, no one can take that from you...that always bothered me in creationits. That they take insult, when someone says the are wrong...WTF?
In the science field, it's a constant battle and everybody acuses everybody of beeing wrong. The idea is, to proove you are right, beyond doubt. No scientist would ever take insult to some one calling their work "wrong". They would either doublecheck the results, or find a more definitive proof.
Loved the video but I still don't understand your title ?
+ThreeXcore He explain how do science exist. (by observation, imagination, testing..Etc etc)
I'm pretty sure he was talking about the scientific method.
Geez, how have I only now discovered this amazingly clever and hilarious channel?
Never subscribed so fast..
I am happy to see another youtube channel with such high quality science videos :) you will reach at least half a million subscribers in no time
Anyone from vlogbrothers?
I just subbed 2 days ago when I found your channel. Seeing as your last vid was months ago, I considered unsubbing. But I decided to give it a week.
Was not dissapointed
+Potato Pal Why would you ever unsub from someone if they didn't put out vids? What's the harm of having them subbed?
The production value in these videos is amazing!
WOW..great animation, great sound editing. I consider these info condensed but I'll watch this for the third time.
Why did it go away for a couple of hours?
+Justifer14 Wanted to add a scene
Ok, I'll watch your amazing video again
damn this is a weird dream
I love these videos so much. The animation makes it interesting to watch and the information and the way everything is presented make that whole video interesting all together. I would love to see more videos :) keep up that good work :)
5 minutes into the video... i paused it, hit the like button, changed the quality to HD and started watching it again with full concentration...
I really love your videos and hope that you start making them more regularly... anyways keep up the good work.
"There good you know, pretty good"
*their
*they're
you're*
Bzhoomp.
one of your best videos yet. and that is a real complement, because all your videos are really good. You are so close to100k suscibers now.
This is really really good. You managed to cover not only the principle behind the scientific method, but also uncertainty and statistical tests. Now all you need is to adopt priors and become Bayesian :)
please change the title back
what was the old title?
+Alice It was 'How does do Science'
+Chandler Gloyd hahaha yeeessss please please please
this video was just referred by Hank GREEN!
I've been a subscriber to your channel for about 2 years now and I'm so happy you got mentioned. Still waiting for new content and hope to see some soon. Love your work.
I'm so glad you posted another video. I always enjoy videos about psychological stuff like this, very interesting.
That was enrapturing! Why didn't I come across this channel before? Love your work, This Place!
Your videos are such high quality! You deserve way more subs and views.
Please more videos! I love your structure and attention to detail. I hope to see more from you soon!
seriously underestimated channel! you produce better content than any i´ve ever seen from my national television!
Really well done. Four years of college in Science and Math honestly boils down to a lot of the ideas there. Understanding these ideas and truly internalizing them will allow one to appreciate the complexity of the world and to see it with much clearer eyes and mind. You, I like you.
mostly unrelated but that whooshy white noise at the end was SUPER relaxing. damn near got rid of my headache!
Thank you. That's all I got. It has taken me my entire life to understand all this and you managed to fit all of this into one 18 minute video. Please never delete this, I'd like to refer back to this when I'm eighty.
This is one of the best science videos I came across. Why this channel is still underrated ?
Absolutely wonderful. You qualify as an "actually really really smart person" because you were able to explain pretty darn difficult things pretty dang tootin simply. Gosh what a great video.
I will always love these. The humor in this and the length of this was awesome and I was laughing and learning at the same time and it was awesome
This was one of the most entertaining videos I've seen. Thank you for creating and sharing it.
His voice is so calming. I love it. I just watch random videos, and listen to them while I do other stuff. This channel is really good quality stuff, too. :)
you did a great job on this, honestly. it was very enjoyable, thank you for your hard work.
This video is ridiculously good, how did I not know of this channel before?
Fantastic video! Excellent points. Clear and fun wording. Love this!
The effort must be acknowledged.
Thanks. Well done.
Amazing, thought provoking, well done, i need to share this video.
