Thunderf00t is not a reliable source. Some of his videos are really good, especially those dealing with alkali metals. But the BUSTED videos often contain newbie mistakes, even when the busting is justified.
Sabine and Pr. Moriarty, a little more reliable, but both are pretty opinionated in a way that may affect their work. I enjoy their content a lot, in fact Sabine YouTube channel is one of my favorite science channels, but not enough for me to turn off my critical thinking.
- DemocracyFTW2 3y agoI think you put the bar of reliability at an impossible height. Every human statement may become erroneous or incorrect when looked at with utmost rigor. It's like when physicians joke, "there are no healthy people, only people who haven't been diagnosed yet". Saying that Sabine and Moriarty are "a little more reliable" than the "not reliable" Thunderf00t makes me wonder to whom in the world of physics would you grant the predicate "reliable"? It goes without saying that sound skepticism has to be applied to all factual statements, but Prof. Moriarty "a little more reliable than not reliable"? Come on!
