April patreon video delay
Added 2025-03-28 18:59:26 +0000 UTCHi Y'all
The winning topic this month was related to funding in science and NASA versus SpaceX, and another one with a lot of votes was 'brain drain'. I wrote and filmed that video but I ended up making it a main channel video. It's going up sometime this afternoon.
So for the patreon video I am going to choose one of the other topics and post that (hopefully next week??) I am picking Bose Einstein Condensates unless any of you all have incredibly strong opinions about what the video should be instead. (Comment below)
Hope everyone is well!

2025-10-23 03:30:28 +0000 UTCI don't really know what I'm doing here, but I'll say this. Science is the truth. Politics is lies.

2025-05-17 12:51:20 +0000 UTCJust joined, so apologize if I'm out of left field. I was just watching the Simon Whisler side projects about 6 or 7 ways earth might go through another extinction. Made me think about something I have heard before (maybe here?) about what would be left of humans. I think it's interesting backwards thought experiment. We know what we're like, but what would survive buried for millions of years, and then what would it tell the future about us as it's dug up. Reverse dino bones walk through. Just a thought. If I have to vote, I vote for mentoring one below.

2025-03-30 21:52:46 +0000 UTC@SamThede your OP got deleted. We need to rally and protect. Our protégé (what’s the opposite of patréon?) is going to attract targeting from the enemies of truth. Ticks all their boxes. They’ll even get in here.

2025-03-29 23:53:10 +0000 UTCPoint the money hose where it’s needed! I’m learning that we can be as effective with 1/1000th of the money, because faith and passion doesn’t exist on the other side. At least not with those bankrolling it. They can temporarily engage fans of bacon, but bacon fans’ hearts are up for sale.

2025-03-29 23:48:07 +0000 UTCTo be fair, those rabbit holes with superfluid vacuums are really hard to get out of.

2025-03-29 23:43:08 +0000 UTCLoving a bit of Bose-Einstein Condensates, memories of being the only kid at school to know about “plasma” — do we call these a “state” or a “phase”? My school teachers in the 1970s and 80s said “state”, but most of my life on the internet was “phase” in the 2000s and 2010s. But since the 2020s I notice it’s “states of matter” again.

2025-03-29 23:42:25 +0000 UTCI'm very pro-BEC. I'm an old superfluid helium person, so it's near and dear to me.

2025-03-29 19:06:18 +0000 UTCIs there a survey form that I am missing? If so where do I find it?

2025-03-29 15:16:53 +0000 UTCBECs are one of my favorite things in physics. Unfortunately it also makes me prone to go down the superfluid vacuum rabbit hole. It's the one thing I'm kinda a crackpot about
EM B
2025-03-29 11:34:05 +0000 UTCYou really dialed it up to 11 with the Functioning Government video. Best thing I've watched this year! It makes the most sense on the main channel. Amazing content as usual, looking forward to some BEC action :)

2025-03-29 07:01:30 +0000 UTCIt makes total sense that the "Space X + brain drain" video went in the main channel. People need to hear this. When you put out videos of that kind, I am reminded of how proud I am of supporting you on Patreon.

2025-03-29 04:28:54 +0000 UTCMaybe just make things simpler for yourself: simply map out an agenda of videos for the coming months instead of a messier system which seems to keep you uncertain of what the next month will bring. Just a suggestion (obviously).

2025-03-28 23:37:31 +0000 UTCI dunno, but a topic highlighted in the popsci news was InTeRnEt QuAnTuM. So like, maybe go into that?
Charles Wheeler
2025-03-28 23:37:06 +0000 UTCBro is complaining that we get an extra (free) video this month. Also, you don't know her/her life? Maybe butt out? This comment gives off weird parasocial vibes

2025-03-28 22:10:20 +0000 UTCHope you’re doing well too! I’m an undergrad getting a degree in Chemistry and just wanted to say thanks for your content. It wasn’t too long ago I was in an associate’s degree nursing program, and you talking about how you took the plunge into physics motivated me to explore my interest in STEM further despite my real lack of preparation or exposure to any previous formal STEM education. I’m hoping to be PHD bound after I graduate, we’ll see! Also originally from KY too!

2025-03-28 19:53:47 +0000 UTCI picked Bose Einstein Condensates so this makes me very happy!
Dominik Dalek
2025-03-28 19:48:07 +0000 UTCNope I’m just here to learn and have fun watching you nerd out about your field. Few things are more satisfying than seeing someone talk about something cool that they are passionate about.

2025-03-28 19:37:41 +0000 UTCSounds great! Thanks for the content.
Sarah Kaylor
2025-03-28 19:34:25 +0000 UTCThat's great. I was about to suggest Bose Einstein Condensate for another month before I moved on. I'm really fascinated by the recent experiments with it.

2025-03-28 19:30:19 +0000 UTCNo worries!

2025-03-28 19:26:26 +0000 UTCSounds good!

2025-03-28 19:25:41 +0000 UTClooking forward to it

2025-03-28 19:15:23 +0000 UTCCan you consider Thorium Reactors for the future?

2025-03-28 19:11:18 +0000 UTCNo worries here!

2025-03-28 19:07:29 +0000 UTCI choose to see this as getting two videos for the price of one so I'm all for it!

2025-03-28 19:06:13 +0000 UTCBose Einstein condensates sounds great!

2025-03-28 19:06:12 +0000 UTCNo issues.

2025-03-28 19:02:23 +0000 UTCAll good here Angela thanks for asking. Sounds fine to me - I love all your vids. What happened with the plug in?
Robbie Warren
2025-03-28 19:01:30 +0000 UTCAt first I was disappointed, but Bose Einstein condensates? That's another matter entirely!
