I am 73 years old. 55 years ago I took physics 101 and got an "A" but this is the first time in my life that I have really understood centripetal force and the Coriolis effect in my life. Thanks Michael!

[orangecrush]

I like how he posts this right after my circular motion physics exam

[TheQuestDesigns]

I spent a year in high school learning what could have been explained in 16 minutes.

It's impressive how Michael is able to cut out such a perfect circular cardboard disc

I suddenly have a great urge to buy a gyroscope

why isn't V-sauce on the YouTube rewind?

I was bad at science as a kid, not due to lack of curiosity but because I have trouble focusing on things that are not immediately engaging. I'm shocked with how interesting and clear these explanations are! I feel like this really makes sense. I wish science was taught this way at school.

[WankersCramp]

VSauce, why do we always wake up right before the best part in our dreams?

"Lesson 5... This truly was a roundabout path.. Thank you, Gyro..."

[jazzora]

never before have I clicked on a video and the first words that came out of the person's mouth were "do you want my head delivered to you in a box?" "too bad."

[Platin_]

Hey I got a box! What could be...
"Hey Vsauce! Micheal he..."

[paingoingcrazy]

I really like the way this was explained step by step with visuals, rather than just having us plug numbers into formulas

[wasOnceBigJ]

*"wazab, as the cool kids are saying"*
