New Video: Passing a Portal Through Itself

This video required an incredibly ridiculous amount of visual effects... enabled by your support!

Thanks,

New Video!

A beautiful guest video by Robert Krulwich and Nate Milton.

Robert & Nate made a few videos like this and weren't sure where to release them - I offered to share one on MinutePhysics and happily they said yes!

Time for more Portal Paradoxes!

Thanks as always for your support - and a "sneaky" teaser has been left in the last scene of the main part of the video :)

The Trinity of Quality (New Video)

Thanks for your support - this is a special "meta" video because it's based on the experience of nearly a decade of leading a creative team - the team that produces MinuteEarth. We have regular internal reviews & discussions of the art and craft of visual science communication, and this video is just one small tidbit of p...

Announcing... MinuteFood!

If you like MinutePhysics, you might enjoy this new spinoff channel run by Kate of MinuteEarth. I'm mostly involved as a very top level (aka very little time required) advisor.

First, I'm going to be changing my Patreon...

New Video (finally :) - The Magic Beauty of Collisions

Hey everyone, new video here. Thanks for your continued support!

I'm considering moving to a "per month" rather than "per video" model here on patreon because I've been working on a few bigger/longer projects (this is not one of them; one of them is likely to be closer to an hour!) and I'd love to support those in a mor...

Bonus video - extended clip cut from GR in 7 Levels

This is a clip that didn't fit into the main "General Relativity in 7 Levels" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNhJY-R3Gwg), but since I polished it up to release as an "extended" feature on Nebula, I figured I would share it to patron...

New Video: GR Explained in 7 Levels of Difficulty

General relativity is near and dear to my heart... it's the field I was working in on my masters thesis, and it's taken me a while to get to the point where I felt I could do justice to it. 

I hope you like the video!

New Video: How Soon Will COVID-19 Peak?

We are in weird times right now and the news is particularly stressful - I wanted to know how can we have a better sense of what's going on, where we're headed, so I worked with Aatish Bhatia on a better way of visualizing COVID success (or failure).  Patreon support is particularly helpful for projects like this, as it ...

This is a draft for a video that's coming out next week or the week after - I need to fix the section from 3:12 to 4:00 because I got the electron & positron numbers reversed :/ Please let me know if you find any other mistakes! (& please don't share with anyone else)

My Explanation of Why Mirrors Flip Left & Right

I know a lot of people have made videos about this before, but I've always felt like most of them were missing something... and then I got started working on a video about CP violation (aka, mirror symmetry violation in particle physics) – which should be coming out soon, btw! – and got a little distracted by normal every...
