How does a satellite dish work?

So just how does a satellite dish work, and how could we talk to the edge of the universe?

Still can't believe they let us walk around on the old satellite dish, although apparently they used to play cricket up there!

So very glad that Tom Scott introduced me to this brilliant channel. Such high production values.

[jeroenritmeester]

Honestly, your style is so refreshing. The biggest compliment I can give you is that you remind me of Carl Sagan.

[alira]

0:55 WOW. How have I never seen this before? I've never even considered why the two are always perpendicular and not e.g. in the same plane. Such a great animation

[qwertzuiop]

Thanks Tom Scott for introducing me to this brilliant channel :) I hope this guy gets more attention in the future

[DanStClairCole]

He likes CGP Grey, and was introduced to me by Tom Scott's January break full of wonderful creators! Thank you YouTube gods!!!❤️ Really interesting videos and a wonderful way to present mate! Hope you get much more attention, that you justly deserve, in the future!!

That was a phenomenal explanation of radio wave transmitters and receivers, I feel like I finally understand it thoroughly.

[tannercasto]

Wow. RF EE here, this has been the best explanation of how a dipole antenna works… ever. Wow. Thanks for the great video.

[aadithyanjr]

0:47 I can't believe that none of my science teachers have ever explained electromagnetic waves this way. Thanks mate. That was such an elegant explanation..

[lewismassie]

0:55 I think this is the first time I've seen someone properly explain how EM waves are generated. And I have a STEM degree lol.

Also came over from Tom Scott, been watching through your backlog the last few days

[dualblades]

Such amazing production quality for a small channel, you deserve to hit 1mil this year!

[cliffexcellent]

I've seen a lot of physics illustrations in lectures and youtube videos, and these are some of the best I've seen. Very intuitive and stylish

[rohanrawat]

I'm so glad Tom Scott hosted you on his channel! If he hadn't, I never would have found this channel or any of its wonderful content. I look forward to the next video!

[krishras]

Wow! Congratulations on 37K, keep up the good work!

[peterwortmann]

me again. this channel needs to be more visible to the algorithm

[siddharth-gandhi]

One word to describe this video and this channel: STELLAR! 😁
Keep up the AMAZING work!

PS: The subtitles are very very appreciated. One of the key qualities, I believe, of a great channel is that it provides amazing subtitles and to see such a small channel with such high production value is utterly mind boggling! 👌

Thanks to Tom Scott for brining me here and thank YOU, the team, for making these videos!

[samk]

I can tell this is the type of channel that’s only going to bet better with time. Love the content!

[MarcusWolfWanders]

There's so much here that I didn't know I didn't know! Particularly how exactly the shapes of antennae/dishes spread/compress the waves, and the difference between amplitude/frequency modulation

[theviolincat]

Hey! So excited to see how your channel evolves and it's nice to be part of the community relatively early on. I'd love to help out with audio or anything related to France if there's ever the opportunity. All the best !

[Radiotroop]

This is the most intuitive and comprehensive explanation of what radio waves are I've ever seen, and I went to tech school to study radio transmission theory
