My excuse for not sweeping my dorm will now be that I am allowing the dust to condense so I can observe tiny planets forming. That's how it works, right, Joe? We're all just specs of dust on a floor of a college dorm?
Still loving this channel! Keep up the great videos!

It's so great when science can take something as common and seemingly insignificant as dust and make it interesting.

This episode had 3 references to great rock bands. I am pleased and demand that you make more.

The new graphic style (intro, animations, lolcats and scientists) is amazing! Looking forward to the next videos!!!

[PacoOtis]

I'm new to your site and am a retired instructor and must tell you this is great. The presentation is excellent as is all the prep work you folks do to make these videos. Please carry on and thanks for such excellent educational videos!

I dont understand how I didn't notice this channel for so long.. Making science accessible to common man is a noble job. Thanks. Keep up the good work

Can you make an episode on possibilities of harnessing the power of thunderbolts for a productive use.

I thought he was gonna teach me how to prevent dust from sticking to my furniture. 
This was better.

You are probably my favorite youtuber. Your videos have gotten really good recently.

I know Brian May (the guitarist from Queen) is also an astrophysicist (Yes, the guy who did the awesome guitar solo in Bohemian Rhapsody has a PhD in astrophysics). If I remember correctly, he wrote a paper on stellar dust clouds. It would have been great if you could have gotten him in this episode.

I see that dust can also play a pivotal role in anger management.




Because it has mastered the art of settling down.

[MotherGrits]

getting a little poetic there towards the end.  thought-provoking, as usual.  nicely done, sir!

[george_plays]

I never thought dust could be so interesting. I'm impressed.

[amberhide]

that's why you need to make a crusade for this stardust.
