I love how he's just in front of a green screen for no reason.

[ACSReactions]

This is brilliant. I demand more candy-fueled scientific explanations. MOAR.

I've watched this each year at Eastertime since it was released. It's been 5 years.

[chrismusix]

Cute video.  BUT HOW DARE YOU USE IMPERIAL STANDARD IN A SCIENTIFIC FORMAT!!! :(    Or any format, really.

[orcodrilo]

inches, miles, .... Science gets sad at you when doing calculations in imperial system. MKS for the win!

[CeciliaYu]

That was a sweet use of discount sugar. Next time, can we stick with metric, please? Most of us are more familiar with 3.0x10^8 m/s.

[seantomlinson]

That was great, how fun! Yup, I've never known why I get hot spots/cold spots in my microwave. That's because I have a PhD in chemical engineering but I think electricity is magic.

[CostSteam]

its always a good day when skunk bear posts a video.

“Microwaves travel at the speed of light”
Hey whats that in the dist- **blam**

[razorsaber]

Such complex experiments to find out the speed of light when they could of just put marshmallows in a microwave...

[DiegoSemede]

Super awesome video, just like the rest of your channel! But hey, you could also say the values using metric system! Here in Brazil (and the rest of the world) the imperial system is something really weird hahaha

Anyway, congrats for everything! =D

[daskawicz]

This is great -- including the Italian and featuring the Peeps!

[peterwXXX]

Damn....this is some bad ass thinking here!  I love it!  Interesting how NPR is trying to sell themselves to the younger crowd.  Keep that info-tainment coming!

[bobbyryon]

Excellent!  Love the puns and jokes at the end.

[parkerdavis]

I watched this video in school this morning. It was amazing.

[xfedman]

LIGHTEN UP PEEPS.
It's just a fun experiment.  Anything you want to know about the details or frequency and distance or metric versus imperial you can simply research on your own.  And I thought the use of puns was fine.

the beam of light at 1:35 for some reason it look tasty

[shaneckel]

legitimate chuckle at the "just a little bit"

[RegalPlatypus]

Make sure that, if you wanna try this at home, you don't have your Peeps (with physics [just a little bit]) on the spinny-thing(TM).
