The best science YouTube videos of the 21st century

[starstencahl]

For a second I thought of yearly recaps and thought to myself “The 21st century is already over?? Time flies…”

While wearing a Vsauce shirt. Gotta love it.

Is Your Red The Same as My Red has always been my favourite Vsauce video. It's a thought that I've had since I was in my early teens around the turn of the millennium, but assumed it was an absurd thought that no one I talked to about it would ever take seriously. Seeing that, not only have people talked about it, but it actually had a name (qualia) really helped me have more confidence in the thoughts I have that I expect to not be responded to well by others. If it turns out to be dumb, so be it, but I'd now be far more disappointed to have a thought that others had and to find out I could have learned how deeply some have thought about it but didn't because I didn't say it out loud.

I wouldn't have expected a list like this until 2101 at the earliest.

These are my favourite science Youtube creator content:
1)Tibees video that explains rainbows 2) Vsauce video that considers how the Earth is flat from the perspective of a relativistic muon 3) minutephysics video series on Special Relativity 4) 3Blue1Brown video on the Analytic continuation of Riemann Zeta function 5) Mathologer video about Riemann's paradox 6) Veritasium video on our greatest delusion

Incredible video. I remember being a precocious pre-teen/teenager who obsessed over these videos. I'll forever owe all of these creators a debt for the way they influenced my love of science and my passion for science communication. Thank you for revisiting them!

Yay my cat got picked! Thank you, Tibees😊

One of my favorites is the megapixel image of the Andromeda galaxy and how that just blows my mind of every point of light being a star

[marcduhamel-guitar]

I think Nile Red's video where he extracts gold from computer boards is one of my favorite YouTube science videos which got me watching many more science videos, from chemistry to astrophysics. Kurzgesagt's video on the comparative sizes of black holes ending with TON 618 is also a favorite. Cheers !

'Finding X: a Mathematical Short Story' by a certain Tibees is the best ever!!!

[ifuj]

The most memorable video for me would be the Parker square xD

Tibees uploading before results day reminding me that I took science classes,

Wow, I haven't felt so inspired about this platform in a while! With the pace of the internet it’s so easy to forget old videos, but they really weren’t that long ago, and lined up like this it feels like one big thing, a movement, the story of online science videos.

And as someone who was influenced by almost every single one of these videos, it’s the highest honor to be a part of this group 💛

[aaronsingh]

Hey Tibees, thank your videos and your legacy on YouTube! I would add ny of your videos in the best one for the 21st century !

[likebot.]

Goodness, I've not only seen all but # 2 and # 3 of these videos, but you're basically rhyming off the core of my subscription list.

[theunknownunknowns]

I'm currently "binge watching" Veritasium from the beginning. Have just decided Tibees is my next binge watch.

[duckky]

OMG Answer in Progress mention!!! I love that channel, it's lovely to see it get recognition!!

[Ted_P]

A Glorious Dawn gives me goosebumps to this day. MelodySheep’s science songs and videos were incredible.

[jonprudhomme]

My favorite is A Capella Science's Entropic Time video.

I gotta vote for Anton Petrov- any video. Guy's one of the hardest working creators I know- daily videos, well researched, non-sensational, no clickbait, and best, he strikes a good balance between accessible and also not assuming his audience has never heard of a boson. 🕳
