I love this guy’s videos; the best I have ever seen difficult physics concepts explained, based on intuition and not equations.

Is this floatheadphysics? I was gonna link him, haha. I discovered him like a week ago and it’s been so fun.

Agreed, floatheadphysics is doing an amazing job of explaining these concepts in a comprehensible way.

He’s the first one to get me to understand the Twin Paradox’s solution! Everywhere else was just like “because of the acceleration,” which never made sense to me and is in fact NOT related to the solution! Hell, his videos are responsible for [the only science meme I’ve made and posted here myself.] (sh.itjust.works/post/56185740)

I also love how genuinely excited he is to talk to you about physics. He’s just so happy to be there, haha.
