What’s your favourite?
I'm so glad you posted this play list, that's my evening filled
vsauce('s) philosophy is just so existential dreading
#1 looking glass double slit experiment for its appeal to challenging video production
#2 caryk's Scale of the Universe 2 for appeal to [metaphysical] semi-realism (little to no explanation required)
#3 kurzgesagt's limits of humanity for its appeal moral realism (although cartoony, it's reasonable and affirming)
Cheers again (:
Missing ZeFrank
very excited to watch some of these for the first time !!
For a second I thought of yearly recaps and thought to myself “The 21st century is already over?? Time flies…”
" I am SO late to work!"
I think she's a physicist, not a mathematician. Time dilation is one of their favourite toys.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Flattered to be mentioned in such esteemed company - thanks!
Hey Brady! I remember subscribing to PV back during the first set of videos. Amazing how far you’ve managed to come since then and the huge positive impact you’ve made on so many people, including me. Cheers
While wearing a Vsauce shirt. Gotta love it.
These are my favourite science CZcams creator content:
1)Tibees video that explains rainbows 2) Vsauce video that considers how the Earth is flat from the perspective of a relativistic muon 3) minutephysics video series on Special Relativity 4) 3Blue1Brown video on the Analytic continuation of Riemann Zeta function 5) Mathologer video about Riemann's paradox 6) Veritasium video on our greatest delusion
@@MrAlRats 'Our greatest delusion' hits harrrrrd. I have it in my 'Rewatch Often' playlist :). 🌈 viddy is marvelous as well. ♥
The minutephysics special relativity was so good and worked wonders in my brain 🧠
Is Your Red The Same as My Red has always been my favourite Vsauce video. It's a thought that I've had since I was in my early teens around the turn of the millennium, but assumed it was an absurd thought that no one I talked to about it would ever take seriously. Seeing that, not only have people talked about it, but it actually had a name (qualia) really helped me have more confidence in the thoughts I have that I expect to not be responded to well by others. If it turns out to be dumb, so be it, but I'd now be far more disappointed to have a thought that others had and to find out I could have learned how deeply some have thought about it but didn't because I didn't say it out loud.
same!! watching vsauce as a kid is a big reason why im going into science now
I think Nile Red's video where he extracts gold from computer boards is one of my favorite CZcams science videos which got me watching many more science videos, from chemistry to astrophysics. Kurzgesagt's video on the comparative sizes of black holes ending with TON 618 is also a favorite. Cheers !
nilered IS the reason I'm a nerd!
The most memorable video for me would be the Parker square xD
It wasn't the best video, but it certainly was a Parker square of a video
One of my favorites is the megapixel image of the Andromeda galaxy and how that just blows my mind of every point of light being a star
I feel the same way about one of the Sombrero galaxy. It is the desktop background on my notebook computer.
I wouldn't have expected a list like this until 2101 at the earliest.
I've marked it on my calendar! ;-)
Incredible video. I remember being a precocious pre-teen/teenager who obsessed over these videos. I'll forever owe all of these creators a debt for the way they influenced my love of science and my passion for science communication. Thank you for revisiting them!
Agreed!
Wow, I haven't felt so inspired about this platform in a while! With the pace of the internet it’s so easy to forget old videos, but they really weren’t that long ago, and lined up like this it feels like one big thing, a movement, the story of online science videos.
And as someone who was influenced by almost every single one of these videos, it’s the highest honor to be a part of this group 💛
Let me tell you, that video was one of the best things I've ever seen anywhere. You have fully earned your place among VSauce, Veritasium, Hank Green, Up And Atom, and all the other great creators mentioned here!
A Glorious Dawn gives me goosebumps to this day. MelodySheep’s science songs and videos were incredible.
I am so glad that Vsauce got its own mention. While I agree with your pick, I think that his “Counting Past Infinity” and Banach-Tarski videos are also deserving of a mention.
'Finding X: a Mathematical Short Story' by a certain Tibees is the best ever!!!
2017 should've 100% been 'history of the entire world, i guess' from Bill Wurtz
Fractals are cool. But the Bill Wurtz video is the single best video to ever hit the platform if you ask me
True - I thought of it too
I gotta vote for Anton Petrov- any video. Guy's one of the hardest working creators I know- daily videos, well researched, non-sensational, no clickbait, and best, he strikes a good balance between accessible and also not assuming his audience has never heard of a boson. 🕳
Is that the guy who styropyro mentions all the time as his fave?
anton is one of my favorite people too, he is so prolific
Anton is a God among nerds 😂
I think 3b1b‘s best video is “the most unexpected answer to a counting problem“, it absolutely blew my mind when I was like 13 and made me love mathematics
Thank you for your great idea and execution. I would like to suggest that you make another much bigger list of the best science/math/engineering videos, engaging your audiance to vote for the best of each year.
My favorite is A Capella Science's Entropic Time video.
Hey Tibees, thank your videos and your legacy on CZcams! I would add ny of your videos in the best one for the 21st century !
Yay my cat got picked! Thank you, Tibees😊
you are such a soft spoken person. It's amazing. I have been seeing your videos for years and years now. It's cool that you watch the other youtubers who talk about intellectual topics. Smarter everyday, vsauce, varitasium. are my favorites.
vihart is literally the reason why I started watching science and math videos on youtube so I'm glad her pi day videos were mentioned! I remember I started using khan academy in elementary school to learn more math and one day I stumbled upon a section that featured her math doodling videos and I got obsessed with making hexaflexagons from that. Then the algorithm started recommending me more videos from veritasium, smarter every day, vsauce, cgp grey, mark rober, etc... I'm in college now so watching this video was really nostalgic for me because I totally forgot about how those early videos were like the gateway to me discovering how much I love science and math. If you're still reading this comment and looking for recommendations, I'd like to give a shoutout to Not David and Physics for the Birds :) They are smaller channels that use super interesting real world examples to explain math in simpler terms.
Tibees you are my inspiration tysm!
The Library of Babel is from a short story by Borges, well worth reading. As young computer scientists, back in university, a friend of mine pointed out that the entire library contains no information whatsoever. For every book that says something, you can find another one that says the opposite. I was pretty shocked to realize this was true!
Steve Mould's ongoing research into the riddle of the "Mould Effect" has me intrigued. Will it ever be solved?🤯
Favourite music playlist ❌
Tibees favourite science videos playlist ✔️
OMG Answer in Progress mention!!! I love that channel, it's lovely to see it get recognition!!
I'm currently "binge watching" Veritasium from the beginning. Have just decided Tibees is my next binge watch.
Goodness, I've not only seen all but # 2 and # 3 of these videos, but you're basically rhyming off the core of my subscription list.
Tibees uploading before results day reminding me that I took science classes, yipeeeee
"These plaques... could be our first chance to say _'Hello! we exist,'_ or, depending on how long humanity lasts, our only chance to say _'Hello! we existed. This is what we were.'_ "
Oh, man.. vsauce. That video, those dudes are OG status for me.
I'm over 70yo and I want to congratulate myself for being subscribed to this channel, and finding I am subscribed to or at least have watched multiple episodes of about 85% of the mentioned channels. Somehow, just by clicking on my interests, I have gravitated to a wonderful community.
Thank you Tibees for sharing such an awesome list and introducing me to so many cool channels, would have loved to see more from my favorites Mark Rober, Numberfile, Real Engineering and Tibees :)
It feels like you made this list just for me! I love watching all the creators you've mentioned (though I have my own opinions on their best videos) but I really enjoyed this
I love that you printed out stills from the videos and used them as props. What a cool display you created.
@tibees I could listen to you talk forever.
I find it to be so fortunate that I share a part of the same timeline as you.
I'm glad that we exist.
Much love.
I probably would never have watched any of these incredible videos if it weren't for you, thanks!
I would put Dr. Angela Collier somewhere on this list. She's punching well above her weight considering she's only been posting for 2ish years
I love how before she talked about Vsauce at the end, due to her T-shirt there was no question that she recognised Michael's influence, even as I thought it weird that she "didn't choose a video".
Your content is always so Informative yet oddly relaxing in an asmr type way haha. Your visual explanations of abstract mechanics are probably the most comprehensive crash courses I've seen.
I need this type of review, as I always want to understand and learn all branches of sciense. Thanks
I found you on Nebula.
How did I not find your channel so much sooner?!
I watch almost everyone you have referenced.
At any rate, I started watching some of your other videos, and I just LOVE your channel!
Thank you so much for making yourself a part of this community and making insightful and meaningful contributions to this genre.
I now have a new plethora of videos pertaining to so many of my interests, and people like you completely understand my excitement as the sane excitement is written all over your face in your own content.. and there is nothing more special than experiencing others speak and elaborate on their own passions, especially when they align with your own.
Ugh.. I am smitten with the community as a whole. What a time to be alive...
Such a great list. I've seen many of the videos and look forward to checking out those I haven't. Your "Jody of Painting"-style videos would certainly be on my list, as well as the animated project you did - which is really a standout. Can't wait to see what you bring us next!
Dear, you mised one important video I feel I must mention: the wonderful video in the Bob Ross style presented with a Rainbow on a chalk board by "TIBEES" 🙂
For all watching this video, I feel like you would also enjoy Sebastian Lague's content. It's mostly focused on programming, nevertheless his video about ant and slime simulation is pretty great
Many of the best and most memorable CZcams science videos were created by you, Toby, especially many of the early informal videos where you would just talk with viewers throughout the video, sometimes giving advice, sometimes just sharing your struggles or goals, but always with science and your sparkling beauty in the background.
My favorite is video that i never imagineded, never made, never have oprtunity to share and yet. Its full and prepared in my head waiting to someone to pick it up.
I still remember the first time I watched the Vsauce video on the Banach-Tarski paradox. It totally blew my mind, and it was my gateway to CZcams science. Michael's channel is amazing, definitely my favourite science youtuber.
Finally someone acknowledging the incredibly power of science in all the youtube videos
They're free and full of knowledge, and incredibly important.
They helped reignite my love for sciences and finding out more about our world.
Like archaeology, physics , chemistry.
And so many experiments.
And soo many guides and inspirations .
Its okay that you have a little bias towards maths and science 😂.
We love your channel so much anyways .
Have not even watched this yet and I'm already excited by the topic. Can't wait to get some viewing tips from you, Tibees!
damn that's a dope shirt! I've actually drawn a couple of those circle graphs by hand before😊
I've also been thinking about the library of babel on and off for years! But I'd forgotten it's name snd which vsauce video it was from, so thanks for reminding me!
Also this video felt very good to watch, glad you put in the effort 😊
Nothing by PBS Space Time? They've done some superb videos. Check out: The speed of light is not about light. Fermilab has some nice explanations of fundamental physics such as relativity theory.
Lol the Library of Babel sometimes keeps me up at night. THANK YOU MICHAEL.
Some of my personal favorite science(ish) videos not mentioned on the list:
“Why do things keep evolving into crabs?” by PBS Eons. This video is the reason why everyone makes carcinization jokes now
“The Aliens will not be Silicon” by Angela Collier (acollierastro). A brilliant explainer of why silicon isn’t as good as carbon at creating life
“In Search of a Flat Earth” by Folding Ideas. A deeper examination of Flat Earth theorists, a demonstration that makes you viscerally understand the Earth is round, and a pivot to the sociology of QAnon (the conspiracy theory ruining American politics)
“Wanderers” by Erik Wernquist. This gorgeous short film is a hypothetical look at humans exploring the solar system, narrated by Carl Sagan
“The STRANGEST pair in nature” by Gutsick Gibbon. A beautiful look at the 40k+ year history of the relationship between humans and dogs
“Demon Core - The True Story” by Kyle Hill. Really I could’ve put any of Kyle Hill’s Half-Life History videos on here.
“I had to break all my beakers” by NileBlue (NileRed’s other channel). This is, by far, the funniest science video, possibly ever.
“How Does Do Science?” by This Place. An actual explanation of the scientific method.
As great as 3B1b is, 2017 should have gone to History of the Entire World, I Guess, by Bill Wurtz. It is among the most influential CZcams videos ever.
Hackenbush is mine for 2021 I don’t know if you chose it for that year as I haven’t watched all of this yet-the creator sadly died after only this math CZcams episode!?🥵♾️
Only middling views by 2020s standards wow also I don’t recall presumably his face that is there now on CZcams
I feel I haven’t seen your 2021 pick Tibees but yeah prolific channel… nice!-PERHAPS Cool Worlds a journey to the end of the universe and my 1st CZcams upload are similar-vsauce=corndogwilly toks
Well, that's a piece of information you come up with, lady! I had to stop it ever again to take notes about the videos and channels and makers you introduced. Got a long list to feast on right into the next cold winter evenings. Thanks!
All my favorite channels - well done - don't forget your own channel !
It's nice to get some positive perspective right now. Thank you! I love some Vsauce and Stand-Up Maths. I really enjoy the Vsauce videos on Lenz's Law and Which Way is Down. For Stand-Up Maths, I enjoyed the video on the Dream scandal for the dive into stats.
Edit: I don't want to leave you out! You've helped me find several concepts much more approachable and helped me understand the 4th dimension in a way I never had before.
Thank you very much. I am sure that it was a tremendous amount of work; still you have created a video, which is a candidate for the best science video of 2024. Saludos
Other channels not mentioned in video, that promotes science, have the best videos, expands and challenges your universe and show you interesting angles and perspectives: The Science Asylum, Arvin Ash, Be Smart, Three Twentysix, Numberphile, Practical Engineering, engineerguy and StarTalk ofcourse
I was about to lose it thinking there's no VSauce in the list - phew!
Honorable mention: All the Indian CZcamsrs with less than 13 subscribers that have been instrumental parts of our studies in one way or another.
(In Homelander's voice): *They are the real heroes!*
I saw the video title, and my first thought was Hank Green. Thanks for including him.
there is a lot of roads on CZcams some big some small, one of them i occasionally follow is the science path, small in some places large in others, this video took me down a very well trodden and familiar path iv strolled over the years, thanks for reminding me of these forgotten gems.
This video is going to blow up, girl. Saved to Favorites 💖🦋✨️
Me at the zoo definitely is one of the most informative videos of CZcams XD
What a great idea for a video!
I want to throw into the ring *Sabine Hossenfelder* 's channel. Aside from her regular format in which she updates us on Science News she is also looking a interesting ideas and tells us whatz Science has to say about it. The nonchalant manner in which she presents this to us is a real treat.
I also want to mention *Dr. Becky* . Her enthusiasm for the advancements on the field of astronomy is unparalleled.
Edit: Oh and the best science related video that I remember has to be *Sugar: The Bitter Truth* by Prof. Lustig. Less purely physics-related but boy did it change my life.
Partly because of your videos, I went back to school and am currently working on my bachelor's in mathematics.
"The night sky won't always look the way it does now." hits deep.
You can actually turn a sphere inside out pretty easily. You deflate it, take the opposite wall of the opening, drag in thru, then once done you inflate it. Like a beach ball\balloon.
I was happy I've seen one, the backwards bicycle. Sad news about Physics Girl 😥
Completely amazing ! 😍
Thank you for the huge precious studies I need to get out of my own Todo...
A lot more to discover and you briefly but brilliantly resumed each...
❤
A (maybe not) surprising number of these also made an impact on me. While I'm no science content creator, it's cool to see that some of my favorite science videos inspired others as much or more. Thanks for the neat video!
Pretty cool 💯 I like the E8 theory video, a bit controversial and maybe wrong or off but it was a gripping tale.
This vid popped up on my suggestions page................the only video that was suggested that I really enjoyed. New Subscriber here, love maths and science.
Having an infinite number of digits is special, in a way. 1/3 has an infinite number of digits in decimal, but in base 12, it's 0.4 exactly, so the number of digits depends on the base you use to represent it, and for every rational number, there are bases where the number of digits is finite. Irrational numbers are special in that they have an infinite number of digits in any base.
"CZcams's co-founder Jawed Karim publicly shared the platform's early intent - dating videos with the motto "Tune in, Hook up." That slogan, as we all know, later became "Broadcast Yourself."
Faced with a lack of submissions despite offering $20 to women for submitting their videos, they pivoted to accept any videos. Finally, CZcams was launched in 2005! Karim's "Me At The Zoo" became CZcams's first official video!"
If I made this list, it'd just be Vsauce and Vihart. 2 of my favourite creators on yt period. Immensely inspiring.
I really wish this would be a new trend among science content creators, thanks for compiling these great videos! I'm really curious about what other channels mentioned in this video would pick as their best, can we make this a thing please?
The strings of photos in the background are genius. Regards from Baltimore.
Thank you for sharing your choices and bringing back some great memories. I just can't imagine a list like this without Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky. Maybe he'll make your next list? Love your worka nd , also, thank you for the shout-out for Physics Girl. We are all praying for Dianna's recovery.
yay, Tibees posted c: the highlight of my week :p
Oh my god I used to listen to Strange Charm so much and I had no idea it was Hank! Just went to watch it back and I still know all the lyrics. Crazy.
In German, there are many good science videos on CZcams, both uploads from TV shows or videos made for CZcams. I really recommend the "Urknall, Weltall und das Leben" series.
Answer in Progress is a channel that pops up every now and then for me. It is always a next-level experience.
Physics is everything.
Math explains physics.
Done. That's it; that's all.
Other sciences? ... Go to line #1. They're all based on physics.
I've always been most partial to Ted-Ed's 'How Quantum Mechanics Explains Global Warming'. It was from an arguably stronger era for Ted-Ed. The team still has some real gems, of course.
How are you enjoy listening to her explain some of the most complicated subjects with a simple lay person.
As a meta-addition to your list, I recommend Dan Olson's video "what is VSauce" which goes into the development of VSauce from a video game memes show to one of the most famous science shows in the world. He also puts this in the frame of a analysis of how people and their digital footprint relate to time in general.
Happy to see Melody Sheep in the list but I was expecting "TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time (4K)", my favorite video ever. The fact that he added the explanation from great scientists and of course the amazing visuals is just perfect. If you have not seen that video do yourself a favor, it is amazing.
And I am a little bit mad that there is no Ted-Ed video mentioned, the mix of interesting topics (including science), animation, quality and quantity is oustanding. But I understand is extremely hard to mention all great channels.
Thanks!
Every time I watch one of your episodes I fall deeply in like.
Honestly the melodysheep song with Carl Sagan on an infinite loop was a huge motivator while I was working on my thesis (in math). Such a gem.
ZeFrank is a truly good video producer (: whereas Cpt Disillusion also excels in satire. But you must be from another planet, because you're out of this world (: cheers!
So many great math channels: Mathologer, 3blue1brown, Michael Penn, Dr Barker, to name a few that pop into my mind.
Dianna Cowern. Can we all just agree to help her and therefore solve the ME/CFS problem!
I hope you and Leena keep your video descriptions updated like "Me at the Zoo" has been.
