Cgp gray
The channel is run by an anonymous author, about whom all that is known is that he worked as a physics teacher in an English school.
Videos are extremely rare, but if you nevervisited this channel, then you will have enough materials until the end of the weekend. The author also has a second channel, where he tells why he stopped using the Internet when he noticed that he could no longer concentrate, and came up with an improved version of New Year's promises - a theme for a year.
Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell
The project of German designers and popularizersscience, whose name translates as "In short." At first it was an amateur channel, where in their free time they talked about different topics. One of the first to use beautiful design and digital animation to explore topics such as the functioning of the human immune system, overpopulation of the Earth and neutron stars. Later, this design was copied by dozens of channels, but not one of them became so famous.
Now the channel is so popular that it has a staff and even its own design bureau. If it’s difficult for you to watch a video in English, some of the videos are translated into Russian.
Oversimplified
The name of the channel answers the main claim topopular science channels. OverSimplified is a retelling of historical events in the most simplified and understandable format. And this applies both to the information itself and to the way it is presented (let the animation and some jokes of the author not scare you away).
Periodic Videos
Friend of the aforementioned CGP Gray Brady Haran togethertogether with Professor Martin Polyakov created the website Periodic Videos - a project where in short educational videos they talk about each element of the periodic table.
If you click on any item, you can seefunny video about him - without any officialdom and tedium, with experiments and comments. For example, in a video about Mendeleev, received in 1955 by a group of American scientists, they tell what this element is and explain how Mendeleev is associated with vodka.
Second thought
Channel name - a reference to the main idea of the book“Think slowly, decide quickly!”, Where the human thinking system was divided into two components. Thinking alone can answer most questions, simplifying and not wasting energy on it. Second thinking is a more pumped mind that is difficult to activate, but it can answer the most difficult questions. The channel just answers them - is it possible to move in time, what will happen if we increase the budget of NASA and why we did not find aliens.
Wendover production
Wendover Productions is an explanation of how the world works, from economics to engineering challenges. There are a lot of videos dedicated to the author’s favorite topic - airplanes!
Wisecrack
Wisecrack is a collective of comedians,academics, filmmakers and artists who are very curious about the world. They explore complex ideas and try to explain them in simple ways with elements of entertainment. Pay attention to the Thug Notes section, where literary works are parsed in a rather non-standard format.
Asap science
Mitchell’s Canadian vloggers YouTube channelMoffith and Gregory Brown, in which animated videos about science and education are released weekly. Can I erase my own memories? How do smartphones affect a person? What really happens in the brain when it is stoned by alcohol or marijuana? These and many other questions are answered in videos made in a fascinating way.
Vsauce
Video blogger Michael Stevens created Vsauce 10 yearsback. In his project, he deliberately asks strange or abstract questions and tries to answer them as specifically as possible. What will happen if an atomic war happens in the world? Can we accidentally kill the microscopic life on Mars, or maybe it will kill us? What will the extinction of people look like?
Minutearth
Drawn comic book authors explain differentthe nuances of the functioning of our world. Here you can find out why snakes look so creepy, why the tyrannosaurus rex needs such small front legs and how mushrooms can cause rain.
