Ed embodies the humble, softly spoken, yet fiercely intellectual scientist, using his imagination to delve into the mystery of how the universe came to be. Putting out those Aristotelian 2.0 vibes.

Sixty Symbols I know I'm late on this reply, but my opinion on the the text is it would be perfect without the black background. Just the white text in a transparent layer on top of the video, perhaps smaller and to the side so it doesn't block the subjects face too much. As always thanks for your hard work on the videos!

love the longer format. perhaps there can be a balance struck between the short and long scale videos on this channel. also loved hearing him talk about exactly what he wanted to with minimal interruption, got to see a small window into how the professor's mental gears work. interesting how he said more than once that he continues and persists with this idea because of its "beauty". in a way i suppose artists and scientists aren't so different, they both deal in the constant struggle to convey truths. beauty seems to perhaps be a happy aftereffect. keep 'em coming Brady :)

@jamieg2427 5 жыл бұрын

I agree! And a lot of times the beauty is in the truth itself, as well as the approaches to discovering the truth, interpreting it, and even in simply the process itself. There's beauty as well in how the information is conveyed, represented, taught, talked about, joked about. Science is fundamentally a creative and artistic process, and just like art, science can be easily appreciated by most people if it's packaged the right way. However, just like art, there are also many things that are totally unapproachable except for the initiated. Can a layperson experience the feeling of playing a difficult piece on the guitar? That type of appreciation requires a specific technical ability. Science of course has many facets that are similarly difficult to appreciate.

Something which I find cool is that maybe in the future Ed Copeland is one of those big shot physicists/mathematicians like Einstein or Pythagoras. And you can look at him explain things about in a simple way on the old ancient youtube library. Exploring these old 1080p videos with these horribly low bitrates and they're not even shot in VR. And you get a sense of how mankind was in certain ways the same despite of how primitive their technology was. The idea is just amusing.

ed's description at the end about how he would feel if strings didnt exist is just so amazing - we need more people like this. taking chances etc giving things a try. and if everyone took chances, not everyone would be right but its not about individual achievement its about humanity's achievement as a whole. so glad there are people who havent given up on string theory!

The way Ed talks is extremely soothing and really makes you understand what he's saying or explaining. Some scientists/physicists speak in a rather smug or over confident way that is almost disengaging when they are trying to explain a point. Ed is the complete opposite and I could sit and listen to him explain anything for hours.

Hi Brady! I would just like you to know I loved the text questions and here is why: Sometimes, or quite often, it seems like your own volume is somewhat lower than the people you are interviewing. This sometimes makes it difficult to hear exactly what the question was. With text there can be little doubt. Also it's always nice to have a more or less uninterrupted torrent of science from Prof. Copeland.
