Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I make YouTube videos where I talk about science in video games / pop culture. Being a mechanical engineer I can usually get by pretty good, but this one has me totally lost. Could the Halo energy sword actually exist and if so, how could we (or the universe)...

When watching videos on Ubuntu 15.04, youtube videos are being EXTREMELY choppy. HTML5 player is on, and it's still choppy. I turned off hardware acceleration, and same result. It's getting to the point where it's annoying.

To some degree I can cope with Jargon and formulas, but they often slow me down to the point where I stall. I learn best with either visual aids or analogies that I can picture. And that's why I find videos so helpful. For example, I loved Carl Sagan's Cosmos series. His cosmic calendar is such...

This is the most disturbing news US Central Command's Twitter and YouTube accounts have been hacked by a group claiming to back Islamic State. Firstly are we sure it is the IS? Secondly how did they do it, and surely the military/government ought to be on top of the game with security...

I've been watching leonard susskind's lectures on general relativity on youtube, I'm now at the fifth of them. It is my first exposure to general relativity and so far the lectures are pretty easy to follow. So my question is this, to anyone who has had more exposure to the subject: Do you...

Hi, I'm new. :biggrin: I'm currently studying A-levels, and I'm going to study astrophysics at uni, so I may be on this website quite often asking questions in the future! Secondly, I have a question. Why is there LIQUID water under Enceladus' surface? Is it similar to Europa around Jupiter...

Inspired by the song, this little montage I put together collects some very cool science (and science fiction) related imagery to get students excited about the phenomenon of science. Our school used it for our recent science festival day. Enjoy and pass it on!

Is MinutePhysics (youtube) a reliable source? I've been watching his videos since they started, but some of the stuff he mentions I question, or is Physics so amazing that I can't believe it xD?

Hi there. I came across this amusing Youtube video prepared by a young woman, ostensibly with a physics background (her handle is "physicswoman"), about career fields for physics majors. I was curious about what the rest of you think. If you check out her channel, you'll find more topics...

Hi I don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question. I found some Math and Physics lectures on YouTube that I want to burn onto DVD so I can watch it on real TV with the standard video, not HD ( I am old school, still have old format with RCA connectors). Can anyone suggest a...

Hey, it seems there's an abundance of valuable learning resources online, especially on youtube, but, it's not always organized as well as it could be. I think we should compile lists of youtube lecture series that span entire undergraduate curricula for all sorts of engineering, science, and...
