It turns out making a QR code by hand using a Go Board is really time-consuming - as I found while making our recent video. Watching the whole thing back? Kind of meditative.

They come in all shapes, some that don’t even look like QR codes at all. But how do they work, even when a third of the code is damaged? To find out, I built one from scratch.

Hi everyone,
There's a lot of footage we didn't end up using in the final cut of our video 'What Everyone Gets Wrong About Planes' so we wanted to wrap some of it up into an extra video.
Here's Derek flying a Boeing 737 simulator and exploring the F27 Friendship and Orion planes at the Queensland Air Museum (subtitles suggested as some of the sections get pretty noisy).

Thank you so much for your feedback and support for the last video about Audio Illusions. There is so much about this topic that didn’t make it to the final draft, so I thought I would make an extras video! Here is the slideshow I was using, and it includes all the links I reference. I even left out stuff from this extras...

This video is about how the robots of the future might actually be specialized, soft, and flexible, instead of the traditional humanoid designs we usually see. This includes some of our old videos featuring non-traditional robots, with new updates on the exciting things they’re up to now from the scientist who built a few of them.
Thanks for all your support, as always.

Originally published in December 2023, 'What Game Theory reveals…' has proven to be one of the most warmly received Veritasium videos ever. Since we’re still getting comments about it, we thought we’d post some of the fantastic interview footage that didn’t make the final cut. Please enjoy the wonderful Steven Strogatz and Robert Axelrod discussing the Prisoner’s Dilemma, tit for tat, zero sum fallacy and natural selection, among other topics.

Did our universe emerge from a white hole? How confident should we be that parallel universes exist? In this exclusive bonus video, the brilliant Prof. Geraint Lewis expands on some of the awe-inducing topics covered by our recent video on general relativity.

Hi everyone,
We’d like to experiment with a new type of video, one that enables us to go deeper on specific topics. The idea is to revisit previous videos on a given theme while adding fresh content in the form of new voiceovers, behind-the-scenes commentary, deleted scenes - the type of bonus material that used to be called ‘DVD Extras’. These videos will probably end up being at least 90 minutes long.
With all that in mind, which of the following topics should we tackle fi...
