After about an hour of searching for videos on youtube to explain the basics of hydrogen fusion in the sun, this one is clearly the best I've found. Thanks for your excellent work!

Your videos are really good: smart, well explained, and very entertaining. I hope you continue creating videos.

Dude, I gotta say, I've fallen in love with your videos. I love all sciences, but physics was the one I always had a bit of a tough time with. You've made a lot of topics easy to follow!

Also, when I took Intro to Organic Chemistry in college, my inner nerd was delighted to find out that Polymerization is an actual scientific term and not just a card in a highly popular card game.

I've learned more in 2017 watching these videos than I learned in a whole semester in chemistry class at FIT in 1970. However, I can't count the times we skipped class to go motorcycle riding in Florida up to Cape Canaveral or to the grand opening of Disney World. I must admit, I appreciate what I'm learning now about chemistry more than back in the day. And I must also admit, It was more fun to ride motorcycles at age 18 than it would be now.

By far the smoothest fusion animations in this universe. Oh you make it look so simple!

He makes abstract concepts not so hard. He also answers all of the questions that my professors can't ask.

this kind of information is the kind that makes me think I want to study physics. thanks for the great video ;)

0:34 funny, because in Portuguese we use the same word for both "nucleus" and "core" and it's fine. Same situation with "flux" and "flow" quantities, but that brings some confusion sometimes.

Im very excited for your new videos coming up, and i hope you continue having the time and motivation to keep making then!

1:29 I felt that deep. Literally had that talk verbatim with myself, in my head in HS.

what about quantum tunnelling?Sun haven't enough temperature to break down coulomb barrier between two protons to be fussed.But yet nuclear fusion occurs through quantum tunnelling process.So, why we can't use quantum tunnelling in our nuclear fusion technology same as sun do still now?

Just recently started watching these beautiful videos and I have to say I absolutely love them. This is real entertainment and it's educational! Please don't ever quit making these masterpieces

Okay I just want to say... You are awesome and I love your energy I haven't been able to understand this until now cause all the other videos I've watched were boring Haha!!! So great job and thank you!!!!
