If I had teachers like the Crash Course folks, and specifically Phil, life would have turned out very different for me.
-
Today I learned that dark matter is the force.
-
If there is more dark matter in the universe than normal matter, isn't dark matter the "normal" matter now?
-
I love Phil Plaits ability to explain so well. The graphics and illustrations really make this great.
-
If 85% of the mass of the universe is Dark Matter, I'd say we are "special" for being made of the unusual stuff that makes up the last 15%.
-
This probably the closest thing we get to a Crash Course Physics.
-
"It surrounds us and penetrates us..." I need an adult.
-
Please don't end this series ;___; I heard that there will be only 46 episodes.
-
This series is full of puns I am delighted
-
Dark energy: Cool discovery guys, here's your Nobel. Dark matter: Cool discovery lady here's ummm.... a gift certificate. C'mon guys, blue LEDs were nice, but dark matter needs some recognition here.
-
Whenever I get to see Phil's episode, my love for astronomy is increasing. Such an inspiring series. You guys are doing awesome! Keep going! Waiting for more episodes!
-
I hope this series never ends
-
The BEST series in the observable cosmos!
-
Yaaa!! Know I know that I even more smaller and irrelevant to the universe then previously thought
-
A shame I can't hit the like button more than once
-
I just want to thank the crash course team for having this astronomy series. The video uploads corresponded almost perfectly with the topics in my college astronomy class, and I'm using it currently to study for my final. It was a huge help. Thank you!
-
May the dark matter be with you
-
After watching this I propose we rename Dark Matter, The Force.
-
yo crash course, i know this i kinda cheesy, but i really really want to thank all of you, for giving someone who was to frikn lazy to do anything at school easy acses (acces? well wathever) to the basic of knowledge i crave for so much, in a way i can understand it. lazyness + unfortunate events are the cause of the fact that i'm still a few years behind before i've payed all the debts i had made, or else i would sponsor the sh*t out of you haha! thank again!
-
When you end this series I will feel very sad and depressed. Until then though, I'm always super giddy whenever a new episode is released! Keep up the great work.
