People flailing animation by Eric Langley

Michael is the guy who explains 10 questions when you only ask 1.

[gabrielthompson]

I'm amazed at how Michael discusses so many unrelated topics and somehow ties them all together

[augusthoglund]

I first saw this 8 years ago and unfortunately the most memorable part that stuck with me was the ragdoll physics of the animated city ravaged by a halt in rotation. Don't get me wrong, the physics and astronomy are done very well, and I've appreciated it more as I've gone on in my education.

The the shear shock factor of giggling at something you really shouldn't, is all too memorable.

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning?

Five minutes later: Here’s the official definition of a second...

[johnrubensaragi]

I love the way earth rotates.





It really made my day.

I like how this guy has extreme videos like "what if the sun disappeared" and "what if the earth stopped spinning", and then has videos covering the less extreme topics like "is cereal a soup"

_Keep spinning bro_

[officialjwong]

If only teachers could explain things like you do... -_-

[Natsuki_Sufferu]

4:18 it was at this moment he changed the topic. He finished the question and talked about time, second, cesium and other stuff. The question ended got answered in 4 minutes time and got into almost unrelated topics. He tricked me into learning what i didnt want to learn. This is why I love you vsause.

[sarreid]

Me: hey Vsauce what’s the time?
Vsause: what *is* time

[manastrivedi]

That's why as a sacrifice to science I never go up or down the stairs and just lie on my couch to prevent inaccuracies

[dominickruiz]

“ hey Vsauce micheal here. Your doors and windows are locked. Or are they?

[Seki]

Michael debunked flat Earth theory without even knowing.

Me: * opens window *

I would rather watch 6 hours of Vsause instead of going to school at this point.

[mugiwaraluffy]

I just love your videos
The way you explain things could not be more perfect
And the background soundtracks are top-notch, they remind me to like the video
You are Incredible man! Please start making these type of videos again. I can't wait any longer

[CreepsMcPasta]

So if someone asks 'what time is it?, you can never be right :O

[superbloxian]

Michael: *talking about if the earth stopped spinning*
YouTube: oh yeah, this is some flat earth stuff

[ISpeedHack]

Crazy how this video was made 7 years ago and still better quality than most of today's videos
