Fascinating. And kind of funny. I wonder, are there any YouTubers who walk through the math in papers like this? Asking because it seems really interesting and sometimes it's fun to learn bits here and there from applied math rather than always working up from the fundamentals.
- canjobear 6y agoPBS SpaceTime
- me_me_me 6y agoHalf of their stuff goes over my head. And I have to watch videos multiple times, but very interesting channel indeed.
- shifto 6y agoThis channel makes me feel dumb. It all goes over my head but he is explaining it like he is teaching a group of 10 year olds.
- me_me_me 6y agoIts good to remind yourself you are not the smartest person in the room.
- meowface 6y agoI'm absolutely abysmal at even basic math (arithmetic, algebra), let alone anything involved in theoretical physics, but I've never had any issue understanding that channel because as far as I can remember, they don't actually bring up any equations or other math. Maybe there are some math-y episodes I haven't seen, dunno, but I was under the impression it was targeted at laymen and designed to be as accessible as possible, like many PBS things. I've learned a ton from it and have never felt they went too advanced for regular people. Now, minutephysics or 3blue1brown? Love their videos, but most of them go way over my head. I find PBS Space Time exponentially easier to follow than minutephysics. Just saying this in case anyone anyone were to otherwise be discouraged from checking it out.
- wrnr 6y agoThe channel I find most accessible for laymen, that goes into the maths, is DrAPhysics[1]. It's done by some random English radio jockey with a background in Physics. Nothing on the cutting edge, but I like his simple presentation of manipulating symbols on paper by hand. If you want visuals there is this[2].

- DarmokJalad1701 6y agoThis kind of makes me want to do Youtube videos about stuff that I know. Procrastination is a b*tch though ...
