I have a PhD in Nuclear Fusion and the quality of your videos in general , and this one in particular, blows me away! Thanks so much!

oh all this fusion bullcrap, the sun burns oil at a ratio of 32:1, oil burs much hotter than any gas and has more electrons and lubricates better. Nothing beats oil and never will as the sun in oil injected oil fired!

@@sonpopco-op9682 the video you link grossly misinterprets planck's work -- ρ = ρ' isn't saying that all objects have same reflectivity, it's a restatement of helmholtz reciprocity principle -- basically, if light can go from one medium (substance) into another, light can also go from second medium into first

Best explanation of the Nuclear forces! There's no need for neutrinos, gluons, and stuff like that which may be important in reality, but not when teaching. Clean, simple, and informative enough for the layman.

Amazing video and great animation! Even more amazing is the fact that "beta decay" occurs due to quantum tunnelling..Quantum tunnelling is incredible rare, but there is so enormous amount of Hydrogen atoms in the mass of the sun ,that this tiny possibility happens all the time!!!!!!!!
