"he looks back at you, shaking his fist at a constant rate" something only a physicist would say

I rarely leave comments, but I have to say, the incredible effort you've poured into this video is absolutely astonishing. Your ability to explain Einstein's complex equations with such clarity and engagement is a testament to your years of dedication and the deep insights you gained during your PhD research on effective science education. The stunning graphics and your compelling presentation style kept me captivated throughout the entire video. This work brilliantly showcases your passion and the extensive journey you've undertaken to make challenging topics accessible and enthralling for everyone. Amazing job, Derek!!! 👍🏽

Once you get so far into math, the math doesn’t even look like math anymore

Insane that you’ve kept 6.3 million people watching so far (after 5 days) and gotten to #1 on trending with a math heavy video with the word math in the title. It’s an educational YouTuber master class

It's amazing how you can see the passion and bliss in the faces of these mathematicians when they're talking about something they truly love.

The way he purposely misleads the answer to his own question to purposely force your brain into countering it just to properly answer it the exact way you were originally thinking about it to then add new PROPER information onto the way you were already thinking about it to begin with, so you spiral into correlating past random thoughts that directly relate to the EXACT new points that he brings up is just perfect. Its like im being forced to use past knowledge and experiences to genuinely take in and learn the new information in a way ive never felt before.

The transition to Penrose diagram was one of the smoothest I’ve ever seen. Never understood it until now

It's an amazing coincidence that the event horizon acts as a kind of "black shield", shielding the events inside from the outside world, and "black shield" is literally what "Schwarzschild" means in german.

"Why can't we have two?" That's how it all starts and eventually you see yourself standing in line at a DMV in another universe applying for a license to drive cars backwards.

Love this. Also, nothing says, "this is a math video" as much as, "your nemesis looks back at you, shaking his fist AT A CONSTANT RATE" 😅😅😅

As a german, I'm still stunned how a person with the name "Schwarzschild" could predict the radius of a black hole. It's such an unbelievable semantic coincident, as it basically is translated to "Blackshield"... Feels very weird hearing this, as I couldn't imagine a better word describing this phenomenon.

I fully expect a “37” Easter egg in every video from now on

As a science enthusiast , I have come across these terms white holes , black holes , wormholes , Einstein Rosen bridge etc many times and wondered about their origin. I sincerely thank "Veritasium" for compiling this beautiful video that actually sheds light on the origin of these concepts briefly but, deeply. Thanks a lot !

Here I am terrified of black holes, but in a parallel universe, I’m even more terrified of white holes that are constantly, violently, and randomly throwing matter in every direction.

2015: The earth is actually flat. 2025: Okay, the earth is round, but the southern hemisphere doesn't exist.

I’m so astonished and impressed at how smart some people are. The fact that guy mathematically said there are black holes before we knew about them is insane.

Schwarzschild is probably the most epic example of nomen est omen. For those that don't speak German his name translates to black shield
