If you like PBS Space Time, you'll likely also enjoy "Science Asylum":
https://www.youtube.com/c/Scienceasylum https://www.youtube.com/c/Scienceasylum
This channel covers the same subjects of physics and space, but does so with some incredible insight that I've seen no other channels dig into, and thoughtful animated diagrams that really help in comprehending the subject.
Here are some great episodes:
"What is Quantum Spin?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB1EPGmpzyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB1EPGmpzyg
"Quantum Superposition, Explained Without Woo Woo": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUipVyVOm-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUipVyVOm-Y
"Capacitors Are Gaps! How Does That Work?!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYRx6Zub3cA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYRx6Zub3cA
- knubie 4y agoI’ll throw in ScienceClic as another great channel in the same vein. https://m.youtube.com/c/ScienceClicEN https://m.youtube.com/c/ScienceClicEN
- ravi-delia 4y agoI love Science Asylum! It has the tone and vibe of a children's pop-sci "educational" resource, with incongruously rigorous content. The tensor video is very good, but I always laugh while watching because even with an admirable attempt to dumb it down it's so clear that there's a lot of iceberg beneath the surface. Reminds me of my favorite undergrad math profs, it's clear they're simultaneously doing their best to dumb the content down for us neophytes and not doing nearly enough.
- czbond 4y agoI love SpaceTime, thanks for the suggestion. As a non-physicist - I realized the details are a bit too much and I care more about the higher level.
- notRobot 4y agoAnother cool channel in the same vein is SciShow: https://www.youtube.com/c/SciShow https://www.youtube.com/c/SciShow
- kosh2 4y agoAlso Sabine Hossenfelder. She sometimes does non-physics topics but it's mostly physics https://www.youtube.com/c/SabineHossenfelder/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/SabineHossenfelder/videos
- nsv 4y agoPBS Digital Studios has produced some real gems - I really liked PBS Idea Channel, a content which discussed philosophical concepts related to media and technology.
- runarberg 4y agoPBS eons is my favorite
- nemothekid 4y agoScience Asylum is great, but I dislike the 90s educational show presentation format. An absolute gem I've stumbled across is ScienceClic: https://www.youtube.com/c/ScienceClicEN https://www.youtube.com/c/ScienceClicEN They have amazing presentations on Relativity, my favorite being: "A new way to visualize General Relativity" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwgIjBUYVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwgIjBUYVc "Hawking Radiation" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isezfMo8kW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isezfMo8kW Another, while heavier and less accessible channel is Physics Explained: https://www.youtube.com/c/PhysicsExplainedVideos https://www.youtube.com/c/PhysicsExplainedVideos These are closer like lectures, but I enjoy them because they go into the histories of some of these experiments; and what the prevailing wisdom was around the time the experiments were performed: "What is the Ultraviolet Catastrophe?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCfPQLVzus4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCfPQLVzus4
- 8note 4y agoAs far as lecture-y YouTube series go, Sean Carrol put together "the biggest ideas in the universe" in early covid: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3jyjUUrJlnoyzX https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3j...
- TechSquidTV 4y agoOne of the best and most underrated science channels on YouTube. I hope he gets his deserved rise in popularity, though his channel is growing faster now.
