2:40 I love how Derek is trying to study the ring and is talking about an air bubble, meanwhile Dianna is just have fun with it!

Your first video about vortex rings was basically the reason to get into fluid dynamics - now I'm majoring in it :D thanks to you!!

Neighbor: "Derek. Why is your pool red?"
Derek: "Uh, science?"

I love Physics Girl and I love Veritasium!

Today is a good day.

What's more awesome than a Supergirl/Flash crossover? A Physics Girl/Veritasium collab! Great work!

Today I had my final analytical dynamics exam and walked away thinking, yay no more physics!

*Physics girl uploads video: Oooh yay, physics!*

I remember when I was learning to scuba and the IMMENSE PRIDE I felt at being able to make a vortex ring. I became a true physicist that day 🤓 awesome vid Dianna 👍

As a host/presentator she does a great job. Always enthusiastic and we'll spoken. It's people like this that makes someone want to learn.

I can just imagine being your roommate. You must have everyone around you smiling all the time. You are truly one of a kind.

man, its so cool you both hangout to do these videos, it reminds of me and my friends when we gather and science topics comes out of everyday situations

For some odd reason, it's always more fun to learn stuff from YouTube than from a classroom teacher. Could be that I'm not stressing about a test over the stuff I learn in YouTube videos, or that the stuff in these videos is actually really entertaining. Like in physics class we learn how to do the math on a falling object and see how much force it would expend on whatever it falls upon, or how much energy is necessary to move a 13 Kg object 7 cm up hill or something. Here on YouTube it's like "I did a thing and watch as it does this cool thing!" followed by a quick explanation on how it works. That's how I prefer learning, and from what I can tell, most people do. When presented with something that doesn't make sense the automatic response is to ask a question, these videos often wait just long enough to answer the question. This might not be the best way to learn, but it's much better than trying to make our brains come up with something that I've never would have though of on my own.

That's amazing how slow it travels, but keeps going steadily!

The outcome of the physics joke was....shocking.
Keep it up Dianna!

[WhereWhatHuh]

"Honey, why is the pool purple?"
"Oh... Dianna came by this afternoon..."

[funnypixels]

Paused my Netflix show to watch @physicsgirl’s video worth watching.

If there's one fact I'm retaining from this video






It's that Derek has a pool.

[TharunRPrakash]

From India. Woke up from sleep when I got a notification. Didn't get back to sleep when I came to know that it's from Physics Girl xD
Perfect topic at 1:45 AM

Derrick has his own pool?!? That YouTuber is living the DREAM!!!

Great video! love the participation at the end. I will be trying the vortex rings. 🌪🌪👍👍
