In summary, the conversation discusses various science-related videos and expresses different opinions on them. The speakers mention enjoying videos about Newton, Edison, and Tesla, but also comment on overhyping Tesla and preferring scientists from earlier years. There is also a mention of not being interested in rap but finding the videos entertaining.

Not sure if this has been posted about already, but I enjoyed this :).


(Although I agree with Newton- I have no idea why they paired him up with Bill Nye...)

This one's good too

I like that one too, it's pretty good. I think it overhypes Tesla a bit though (which is annoying because now whenever I talk to a non-physics person about physics, they usually go "omg Tesla is like the best physicist evar").

I'm not into rap stuff but I found the videos entertaining. I still think that the famous scientists from earliest years are the greatest people in the history. The scientists in the modern world have followed suit.
