PBS SpaceTime


Half of their stuff goes over my head. And I have to watch videos multiple times, but very interesting channel indeed.


I'm absolutely abysmal at even basic math (arithmetic, algebra), let alone anything involved in theoretical physics, but I've never had any issue understanding that channel because as far as I can remember, they don't actually bring up any equations or other math. Maybe there are some math-y episodes I haven't seen, dunno, but I was under the impression it was targeted at laymen and designed to be as accessible as possible, like many PBS things. I've learned a ton from it and have never felt they went too advanced for regular people.

Now, minutephysics or 3blue1brown? Love their videos, but most of them go way over my head. I find PBS Space Time exponentially easier to follow than minutephysics. Just saying this in case anyone anyone were to otherwise be discouraged from checking it out.


This channel makes me feel dumb. It all goes over my head but he is explaining it like he is teaching a group of 10 year olds.


Its good to remind yourself you are not the smartest person in the room.
