    Veritasium and VSauce are the heroes of today's scientific communication to the masses, they kickstarted something very big and very important
  • This man literally has a doctorate in creating educational videos. That makes the most sense of anything I’ve ever heard. He really is one of the bests.
  • @DionStabber
    The Australian accent was actually vastly better than I'm used to hearing in impressions, nicely done
  • @lnx0007
    Derek: "i think i have average intelligence" Also Derek: "I have a Phd in physics"
  • @KimberlyGreen
    A lot of his content goes over my head, but I still love being one of his Patrons. We need more Veritasium in all our lives.
  • @Melds
    The electricity debate was really interesting and seeing a lot of well-known engineers and physicists responding to it was great. I'd love to see more debate and interaction on core concepts like that.
  • Derek is one of those people who make YouTube worthwhile. Thanks, Wired autocomplete, for giving him the spotlight here!
  • @bjs301
    Veritasium has been one of my favorite science channels on YouTube probably since it started. He never gets caught up in hype, and he addresses topics that people outside the science community never hear about. One of my favorites addresses the fact that most published scientific research is wrong.
  • @Lucsy3012
    Veritasium is one of the first channels I actively followed and his progression, consistency and ability to teach people is insane.
  • Veritasium, pbs space time, scishow, Kurzgesagt, smartereveryday, vsauce, & it's ok to be smart...all awesome science channels. Been watching these guys for years. Glad Derek is getting some love. Kudos Wired for this one.
  • @nerd26373
    Derek Muller seems very insightful. We can tell he has so much knowledge to share with the rest of the world.
  • Even explaining the most complicated topics, he never gets boring. that's why i love this man.
  • "Currently live in LA, parents were South African, Born in Australia, Grew up in Canada and now I live in LA..." epic answer 😂🔥
  • He is one of the best channel for science on Youtube, he doesn't over simplify things like Kurzgesagt or Vsauce, and actually goes into the details and concepts of the topics like the equations and maths used, how it was discovered, It may be a little overwhelming for an average viewer but its really knowledgeable and insight-full.
  • @ohiocitydave
    This is so relatable, honest, and vulnerable: "I wanted to be a creative person, but I was scared of being a creative person" Can relate. Love the content.
  • He literally did his Phd on making videos on science lol. No wonder he's always spot on and beats everyone to the punch! 🙏
  • He has this almost Steve Irwin-like vibe where his passion in Science is just infectious. Thanks for keeping my (and apparently more than 12 million others) science curiosity well fed and hope you're staying safe and well!
  • @cmel7841
    As a complete science nerd, I LOVE his channel, and smarter every day, mark rober, physics girl and many others. His electricity series was the best discussion collaboration on youtube, really went down a rabbit hole
  • @cloudbloom
    His channel is genuinely one of the best on youtube
