Demystifying Mass ft. Sean Carroll

[veritasium]

kilograms, but sometimes it's quoted in terms of energy/(speed of light squared)

[MrBeiragua]

When someone knows what he is saying, it is pretty easy to be convinced and change your mind. Sean Carroll must be an awesome teacher.

[JayLikesLasers]

He communicates really well - loads of concepts introduced but plain English used and every new concept introduced and explained one at a time. I understood the entire thing, thanks!

[derek]

Thank you! I've got lots of good stuff coming up soon - stay tuned!

[MrMattDrewitt]

Personally I like the idea of him having the conversation, and asking the right questions to lead use through the explanation. Its a nice way to integrate the person who runs the channel in with all the amazing people he meets

[Kaslor]

Sean Carroll is truly an amazing physicist

[itsjustameme]

Demystifying is a strong word to use.

What this video did really well was to show me that I don't know jack shit about what mass is. I may however after watching this be confused at a slightly higher level, though I'm not sure about that at all.

So thank you for a great video - I think.

Dr Carroll is so good at explaining difficult concepts, without coming off as condescending at all. Thanks!

[matszz]

I had thumbed up this video at some point in the past. But I don't even recall seeing it, let alone the brilliant information shared in it. This makes depressed!

[rossjennings]

Of all the videos I've seen that purport to explain anything about the Higgs boson, this has been the most informative, and I didn't even expect it to be mentioned.

[PetraKann]

Not only does Sean explain ideas/theories that are difficult to conceptualise very well, he also inspires his audience.

[PatrickWillcox]

Some how that made sense! I wish this had been around when I was in high school or college. Kudos to Sean Carrol for making something that was previously rather mystifying pretty clear to me.

[pipedemon]

Sean Carroll is awesome. I'm so glad you got him to collaborate with your channel.

[theDr_Fist]

Sean Carrol DESTROYED william lane craig. it was so sad, and oh so entertaining. 

[hrperformance]

When I've heard Sean speak before, I never really felt that engaged in what he was saying but in this instance, I really understood what he was getting at! I will make an effort to watch you more in the future Sean! xD
Great video Veritasium, thanks a lot!

[chilb]

I never comment but keep these types of videos going. The quantum computing and this video where we are getting a condensed version of a boring lecture are great!! I can't get enough. Keep em coming!!

[Riceater]

Agreed. Outside of watching hours of free lectures online, it's sometimes hard to find technical information and I feel most documentaries anymore don't really have much to offer me as they're aimed at people with little to no understanding of the subject and spend a great deal of time on elementary analogies.

[realcygnus]

Sean Carroll is one of my favorite academia/mainstream physacists always verbally clear & concise no matter how difficult/abstract the subject like a Feynman in that sense.

[martinkunev]

Great and simple explanation of what the higgs mechanism explains.

[IanKemp]

This video is fantastic. I have a degree and PhD and have read lots of explanations of energy, gravity and relativity. Sean's way of explaining it is direct and very visual. If you didn't understand it watch through a couple of more times as he does whip through it very fast :-)
