People of all ages gave you big thumbs up.

The text-based Zelda games from the DOS era aren’t worth playing. I would start with “The Legend of Zelda” on the NES.

All the successful theories were developed from experimental results. From real data.

This is not really true. Lots of very well tested theories in physics came from math first, and then experimentation upheld them.

Einstein developed general relativity based on mathematical principles (Riemannian geometry and the equivalence principle) with little direct experimental input. And then successfully predicted the light of distant stars bendng around the sun.

Paul Dirac formulated a relativistic equation for the electron. The math naturally predicted the existence of a positron which was discovered years later.

Peter Higgs and others proposed the Higgs field to explain why particles have mass within the Standard Model, in 1964. It wasn’t detected in experiments until 2012.

Maxwell’s unification of electricity and magnetism led to the prediction of electromagnetic waves. 20 years later Hertz detected them.

Just months after Einstein published general relativity, Karl Schwarzschild found a solution predicting black holes. With no data at all! Sure enough, we’ve observed them and their effects many times.

Mathematics often leads the way in physics.

Testing

I call BS on this particular experiment. I just don’t trust that they did it right.

Those $2 gas station lasers shoot faint light out in a large cone. What I mean is, look at the barrel of one of those lasers when it’s on. (Don’t aim it at your eye, obv.) There is almost a 180° range where you can see red light at the tip of the laser.

He’s holding the laser directly above the mirror at a 45° angle, so some of that scattered light will be hitting the mirror. Just because the camera can’t see the laser’s tip in the mirror doesn’t mean it’s not visible from the mirror’s perspective. There’s an enormous amount of parallax between the two perspectives. It’s so stupid that he looks at the camera’s view and says, “You cannot see the laser light at all, right?”, and doesn’t realize it’s because of parallax! 🤦

Meanwhile, even we the viewers can see laser light in our camera when it’s not aimed even remotely toward us. Look:

So this diffuse light is hitting the mirror and film, and because it’s a diffraction grating, some of it is redirected to the camera.

Do I doubt that there are bizarre physics that can happen in proper experiments like this? No. I don’t doubt people like Feynman. I just think this experiment is bullshit. Much like the entire channel.

The rest of this comment is just a rant. You should probably stop reading.

I can’t stand that guy’s absolutely fake reaction. There’s no way he didn’t do this experiment a few other times in front of the camera, and he’s just making this over-the-top, fake, hysterical, “WHAT!? OH MY GOD, NO WAY!” Over and over. Ugh.

Speaking of fake. Why is the video call on this laptop screen edited in? It jumped right out at me as soon as I saw it.

The top and bottom edges of the video aren’t parallel to the screen, and there’s no glare. The bottom edge is the worst:

Why would he fake this? It’s a one-second clip. It’s not even important. I guess he needed more B roll of himself looking thoughtful and nodding.

I hate Veritasium ever since that incredibly dumb video about the “speed of electricity” where he made electricity sound all mystical and magical, and didn’t once use the word “induction”, and basically lied about everything. It was so bad that a dozen other science YouTubers had to make reaction videos explaining how wrong he was. Like Alpha Phoenix.

Veritasium is overproduced garbage masquerading as science.

Snailshock is pool, but with snails, with dice for extra moves, and cards to mess with them.

Is that better?

(I also don’t know why only the nouns were capitalized.)

😂

What’s “rapo”?

They can hire me for $1M to write some basic code that gives stock answers when someone says “Thank you”, instead of running it through the LLM. Think of the savings!

I’m worth the $1M because I’m clearly the only person to have ever thought of this. /s.

KeePassDX. I don’t see a reason to change.
