The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the premier late night talk show on CBS, airing at 11:35pm EST, streaming online via CBS All Access, and delivered to the International Space Station on a USB drive taped to a weather balloon. Every night, viewers can expect: Comedy, humor, funny moments, witty interviews, celebrities, famous people, movie stars, bits, humorous celebrities doing bits, funny celebs, big group photos of every star from Hollywood, even the reclusive ones, plus also jokes. - Zábava
I love it when Stephen interviews scientists. More scientists!!
I'd be great if Colbert hosts Brian Cox, Michio Kaku and Jane Goodall.
and writers!
Agreed - he used to have a *lot* of them on the old show.
im sure it's a ratings concern, but they should mix writers with big headliners. if there is anyone who can shift the content and spirit of late night it is stephen colbert.
Now that news is in the shits I think people want more science.
I watch all these kinds of videos but rarely watch ones with celebrities.
If my science teacher was half as passionate about science as this guy my volcano would've worked.
elzeus13 I hope that's not a euphemism.
Mukul Pareek haha
Then she/he wouldn't have been teaching you.
are you mistaking talking and vulgarizing stuff on TV for a few minutes with teaching 25 reluctant teens?
I always had great science teahers, yes, in public school.
Oh thank god a scientist. A break from all the actors no one cares about
socrappyicoulddie agreed
To be fair, the only reason late night shows exist is for actors, musicians, comedians and the like to promote their latest products. But it is nice to see something beyond the never ending sales pitch every so often.
Then why do you watch Late Show's clips? CZcams is full of competent and entertaining scientists and science communicators that deliver great content in a brilliant way... Let the actors do their night show interviews and check out stuff about what you're into
And even when they get a scientist on, they still managed yet another dig at El Trumpo.
OK, we get it, you don't like Trump.
st0rmforce Trump gets a dig because he deserves it.
It's crazy how something like firing electrons at two slits can eventually result in us learning how to levitate stuff. Science is so great.
Meh. If firing electrons at two slits would eventually result in more and better sex, that would be great. I am searching for the kind of problems you can solve with sex. (quote is not mine, I have to sadly admit)
It will, when my quantum dick gets released to the public.
Overpopulation can be solved with unprotected sex.
It's even sadder you think that that's a good quote
you have to look at the experiments that followed based on this... some of the most recent ones have demonstrated that quantum phenomena (at the very very very small atomic scale) can effect events in the past. it has been proven experimentally... bizarre I know.
Brian Greene has made a career of taking the most complicated scientific discoveries and making them easy to understand to the common people. Truly one of the greatest spokespersons of science in our generation.
i still dont understand any of that crap.... hell i don't think i can understand quantum mechanics. i can only appreciate its beauty.
+haudace "If you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don't understand quantum mechanics" - Richard Feynman
Yeah after Feynman he's gonna go down in history
@@dbf72829 Wish feynman was around for social media eras. He would be huge.
Fallon would have discussed Kanye with him.
this is why we don't watch fallon who cares about celebs
Fallon, wasn't that the host of a boring and superficial show? I remember him faintly.
Makdavian Or Fallon would've discussed Trump in a positive/giddy way as he reminisced about that beautiful day he was oh so privileged enough to run his fingers through Trump's majestic, golden hair (and maybe how hard it was to contain the excess moisture in his panties while doing so). Lol :)
that's because Fallon is a fucking joke.

Even more impressive than I thought. Should be "Brian Greene Makes Stuff Levitate. *Upside-Down*. Seriously."
"Scientist makes stuff levitate upside-down, you won't believe what happens next #goneright #gonesexual #gonefuturistic"
"TOP 29 Things Brian Greene Can Make Levitate Upside-Down. #17 SURPRISED ME THE MOST"
"[Your city] residents surprised about new law the GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT that allows levitation using this clever trick" (generic stock photo of government house/police car)
It's the Meissner Effect.
When you cool a superconductor to a certain point, it 'pushes' away the magnetic field lines from the magnet.
The magnetic field (from the magnet) then curves around the superconductor and forms kind of a bubble around the superconductor and that is what keeps it in place; levitating.
Just a slight fix, and I hope you don't mind - you don't cool a superconductor - superconductor is created by cooling certain things to a certain temperature. So you don't take a superconductor, cool it, and then it has certain properties, you take some matter, cool it, then you get your superconductor.
It is a slight fix, but very important in scientific terms.
Also, there is a huge strive to create some alloy that would have superconductor capabilities on room temperature - that would be a revolution in technology on the scale semiconductors were that brought about the whole information age.
That you for clearing that up, I was just about to drop Seiji Ozawa into some liquid nitrogen.
technically a superconductor isn't a superconductor until you cool it down to become one.
Have to give Colbert some slack and some credit. He's had Brian Greene on a number of times. But, he's also a slave to the time slot, advertising sponsors, etc. I'm just glad he (Colber) is doing his part to foster and encourage the "coolness" (pun intended) of science!
That's how UFO'S work🤣
Yes! We want more! Chemists, Physicists, Bio-Medical Engineers, Mechanical, Electrical Engineers, Doctors and Psychologists!!
I love the way Brian looks at the track at the end! He's as excited and fascinated by this and quantum physics is his life's work.
Scientists are awesome!
Brian Greene is very awesome. Sean Carroll is also a great guy to check out.
#MakeScienceGreatAgain
Edlink Productions you mean sceiene ?
Edlink Productions science, unlike America, had always been and continues to be, great
5:03 ... love how comfortable Brian is with Liquid Nitrogen.
Leidenfrost effect, liquid nitrogen is only dangerous if submerged inside of it or exposed to it for a long amount of time. It does nothing but feel ice chilled if it touches you.
Finally, a TV host smart enough to keep up with a scientist!
"I am particle"
-Stephen Colbert
The interviews Stephen does with Brian Greene are always excellent!
That was actually really awesome, gotta do more of these experiments !
Yes! Bring attention to the people who are actually moving humanity forward.
at 6:47 you hear Colbert breathing in in awe of science. My guy
@bullsi20 Did you just say Brian Greene is not that big on science!?
bullsi20 my bad lol
That's what happens when a theorist does experiments...they tend to hurt themselves and blow up the lab 😂. Great video
topaz enkai ll
holy cow why is this so true
I haven't been made speechless by a CZcams video in a *_long_* time. Thanks for this. Amazing stuff.
Quantum mechanics is brilliant, because it's by far the most counter intuitive branch of the sciences; you're basically throwing out almost everything you know about the natural world when you explore the world of the infinitesimally minute.
Which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone really. Extrapolation to larger structures or smaller structures often give different results/effects/behaviour. That's even so in the science of electricity, networking, physics, etc. You don't even need to go to quantum level for that. The only difference is that Q is just very, very strange.
Stephen thanks so much for bringing Brian Greene two more people we need to make everyone excited about science.
This is what they show on public television, imagine the tech and knowledge they have behind closed doors..
So excited for tomorrow!
Thank you! My favorite demonstration of supercooling and magnets!
that was really incredible. it really does make it feel like hover technology is right around the corner.
More scientists! MORE EXPERIMENTS!!!
"Amerca...America....America..."
I think that's part of our problem, Brian.
We need to be Earthlings now, not Nationalist/Fascists.
saw this on a TED Talk a couple of years ago. still cool to watch
Is good to have this science sections, and kinda fun
Science! The kryptonite of Trump supporters.
If only! Science has absolutely no effect on them :(
Oh it works ON them, just not TO them.
Trump supporters are by far the largest anti-intellectual group in the US.
Science is based on logic, and they defy logic.
TheD†uned so did the Christians and everyone else, the Sun revolved around the Earth and so on and so on, if you are going to spout one belief you should look at the total picture and resolve your statement that no one knew any different at that point of history. You have been found lacking.
Can we have even more Brian Greene on the show? This is the shit I go on CZcams for
I love that Stephen seems fascinated by this and asks real questions. Not like some hosts, who only try making jokes.
My favorite host, in house band, theoretical physicist and quantum physics. I love it!
BEST physicist ever makes the world better
I took my students to a field trip at the University of Houston and they experienced this. We went to the research lab on superconductor and they showed this and explained why there is an ongoing research on superconductivity and how the scientists are experimenting on materials that can be superconductors at high temperature. They also gave brochure on the practical application of superconductors. It was a good field trip. I just hope my students will be inspired by scientists in our community.
"It's a great day...for Science!"~Dexter
My boy Brian greene!!!! So good to see him on here(::::
I like it when Colbert does these experiments it would be great if he did these a bit more often.
Yeaaa Mr Greene!! Science!! Magnets!!
Even with trump taking us back, science keeps us moving forward.
How much did Trump cut from the budget?
Wish my classes were this interesting at school. Would have loved to be his student, even now.
Stephen's 'wov' and his genuine awe totally made by day.
incredible piece! thank you.
Apparently at the very end of the clip, Stephen is dealing with Quantum Cameras.
Absolutely amazing.
You should make a whole show only Stephen Colbert with his jokes and love for science and Brian Green with his intelligence and cool experiments
i am still scratching my head.
this is truly awesome!!!
I always skip interviews, but this guy's interviews, I watch each of them multiple times.
More science for the masses during late night talk shows!
Amazing!
excellent demonstration
wow 👍👍
Yeah, Mr. Greene. Yeah, science.
Captain Jack Sparrow yeah captain jack
This is simply, cool. straight up cool.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!
Amazing.
Awesome.
Fascinating
I love watching this guy's docos stoned
I'm naming my next band Quantum Tentacles
So good
He explains things really well!
"And is that how fidget spinners were invented?" Gold..pure gold!
that is truly amazing
Amazing........
That... Is almost WITCHCRAFT! Hahaha I love it!
awesome
Nice change of Pace.
Tide goes in, Tide goes out, you can't explain that.
that's some mind blowing shit right there
incredible
fantastic
Yeah! Science, bitch!
Best thing I have seen on Colbert show ever!
Got to love how scientists are basically irl wizards.
I love how Colbert has totally transformed the possibilities of Late Night television. Everything he does on his show feels new, fresh, and exciting. Thats why The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is fucking amazing, he has completely escaped the mundane and overdone themes and gimmicks the other Late Night shows still continue to maintain as the status quo for Late Night television. Great Job Stephen, keep up the amazing work!
anyone else see this same experiment on the British show QI years ago? Cool to see Stephen bring science to TV
Damn.. Quantum science is really the future. Imagine creating a quantum computer 😮
My dad loves this experiment and quantum physics! Can't wait to show this to him:)
Yeah, Bell Labs!
Wow love it
More scientists!! I love this man!
I wonder if you could do the last experiment with one round magnet on top going clockwise, and one underneath going counter clockwise. Because wonder is wonderful.
OMG?! Why does this only have 300k views?! Unbelievable! I love this guy.
The guy's a genius. By turning it upside down, suddenly it all made super-sense.
Now that's a science experiment and not just dumb ping pong balls flying around.
He is my favourite ..the best of the best .. makes a non science guy like me go crazy to learn science
This absolutely blew my mind.
Where can I read up on what just happened?
"sceiene" ...
usurper We all love some sceiene!
Brian Green is not just Sceiene, he's Super-Sceiene! It's not even his final form!
Евгений Семёнов ha ha! Awesome!
Im going to name my kid that.
Sceiene is by far my favorite covfefe.
Quantum Fidget Spinner XD :) My invention
I learned something new here today, the upside down thing, I did not know about.
This was really interesting. Stephen's questions were on point (even if scripted).
Also Stephen looks like an older version of Justin Theroux.
briane green is funny holding it barehanded lol
How about a regular segment with Nei deGrasse Tyson on Mondays, Bill Nye on Tuesdays, Brian Greene on Wednesdays and Mary Roach on Thursdays.
But... "Bill Nye Saves the World"... he cannot be redeemed.
Now that's _cool._
I want one of those levitation kits for Christmas, awesome.
That was so cool :)
If Trump watched this, he'd have grab his covfefe and ingest it intravenously.
Never get tired of watching levitation experiments =D
That is why this late show is the best.
He didn’t explain the other half of the experiment that makes it reality braking. Short explanation: when particles are hot through the slits they are projected at the wall as several lines instead of the normal two this was done under normal conditions. Second test was setting a molecular observing camera on the other side of the wall to observe the particles coming out of the other side. After setting the camera there were only two lines. If you are not understanding the concept I’ll put it this way: when you shoot particles through two slits without observing the particles themselves they act as waves when you shoot them while observing them they act as particles. That means particles/reality changes when observe it.
