Hi everyone, thank you so much for your support as always! As you might have noticed I've been very busy with numerous projects lately, which explains the absence of videos in the last few months. But rest assured, I'm working on new ones that should be coming soon! And in the meantime, here's an older video that we hadn't yet translated for the English channel :) If you want to guess the topic of the next video... there might be a subtle hint somewhere in this one...

Glad to see a new video. There's no science channel on YouTube that makes these concepts easier to understand than yours.

Even simply explained it's a wacky world when it gets small. How physicists sorted out a world we can't see is pretty impressive.

Sick with a fever of 39 degrees woken up at 04:30AM in the morning and see the greatest science channel of YouTube posted a new video, this is definitely a sign that I will be well today…

[chuba]

it's always a good day when scienceclic posts

Thanks for another concise video that explains complex issues in plain language. An interesting fact is that a Top Quark is so massive that it is heavier than an Iron atom.

For those who don't know, this channel exists in other languages! This is just one reason these guys are top tier!

[WolfrostWasTaken]

This is the BEST science channel on YouTube.

It’s so crazy to me that in attempting to isolate a quark, the universe will immediately convert the energy released into the exact matter that will delete the removed quark and replace it within the neutron/proton

[mariocesarsousa]

Complicated but the explanation is very clear. Watch again to understand It better. Thank you for sharing. 🎉

[alanturing]

So happy to see a new video from the best science channel I know! Take your time with your videos. Quality like this can't be replaced!

[AkamonAnimations]

This is really great, I’ve had a hard time understanding the strong force for a while, but this explanation makes a lot of sense and really cleared things up for me. Thanks!

[vincentsoubannier]

Pour expliquer, comme vous faites, les choses complexes aussi simplement, il faut être un génie.

[nugslug]

Most intuitive video i’ve seen about this - this allowed me to make sense of color charge. Thank you!!

[ChimeraZone]

When I learned about Quantum Chromodynamics for the first time it was one of my favorite things. I find these dynamics conceptually beautiful. Hearing you talk about it is a treat, so thank you for that.

[dgareandro]

I can express how much I love this channel, you've managed to explain the strong force in a matter of minutes, so Thanks to you and the team behind these fantastic videos, that in my opinion hold the title of "the best explications of almost every Physical phenomena know to humans" :) So carry on lads, and keep sparkling the world curiosity!

[EnerJetix]

In terms of pure clarity and effectiveness at teaching the viewer information, I still think you’re the best educational channel on YouTube.

[Kuhlfurst]

The fact that quark charges just so happen to be +2/3 and -1/3 which so neatly add up to make counterparts for the electron, is so intriguing.

[CherryHaze]

Excellent video.... I had a few "oh, that's what it is/that's what it means" moments. Thank you!

A sequel or more in depth video on quarks would be awesome.
