I have studied nuclear physics for over 30 years, but David may well be the greatest physics educator I have ever encountered. His gift for teaching is rare indeed.
I heard the potential briefly....till that distractly AWFUL choice of background music made it unwatchable...I was so looking forward to it too! I am very disappointed I cannot gain more knowledge from this worthy instructor
Precise explanation of general physical interactions. Your narration is the key element; not a word wasted, and excellent visuals. The video was extremely insightful and clear. Thank you very much.
By far the easiest to understand lessons I've come across regarding the quantum world. You break it down in such a way that I, a layman, can grasp the basics of QM without losing the mental oooomph! of amazement inherent in the quantum realm. Well done, sir. Thank you, Professor Butler!
Indeed, i already watched a lot, and this 5 videos are by far the best in explain the concepts for some one that knows something but still has a lot of question.
What a fantastic and truly outstanding physics video! Thank you for creating it! Without a doubt the best video I have seen about the Higgs, but in general: quality from start to finish. I am amazed that this stuff is available for free to people. Wish that I was back at the start of my physics degree again, this kind of stuff is truly a treasure for people wanting to learn more about our scientific understanding/process. The part about CERN in particular: fantastically done, Ravel's Bolero for the dance of the protons prior to their final collision (but not at the top of a mountain :-), maybe not far from being under) was the icing on the cake. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
Fourthed/quadrupliated!!! Just discovered this guy....at first, his slowish speed annoyed me, but NOW I realise I'm actually understanding it better .... instead of having to listen to a fast-talker three times!
I do not have proper words to express the amazement that these videos cause in me, and how grateful I am with you and with all the people involved in this channel. Thank you, things like this are one of the main reasons I like life. PS : I did like the music too.
I can only imagine how much of a herculean piece of work it must have been to research, document, and illustrate the topics here discussed and to do so at the very high standards of quality that are yours. I watch a lot of vulgarization videos, and yours are among the very best in my opinion, in terms of the balance you achieve between simplifying things and still providing detailed scientific, mathematics background. Before going on to watch "How fast is it", I wanted to say Thank you. THANK YOU!!
+seoman49 Your comment reminded me of Alexander Pope's "An Essay On Criticism" which contains the text: True wit is nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed. These videos have a beauty that appears when something is done very well. The Brahms Violin Concerto used in this video is an example of that beauty. Watching Michael Jordan make what was previously thought to be an impossible shot would be another example of the beauty of expertise. I have just one proton size request to be made of David Butler: Would you please add to the author's comments section the names of the compositions used in the sound track of the videos. Thanks for your excellent work.
Mr. Butler, I am pasting here a comment I left as well on your HFAII fandom wiki. Just a small token of my appreciation in words. I just wanted to share my appreciation of your content! I am 26 years old and from Sweden. I have not (yet) studied any STEM field or any other field for that matter at university or college level. But I found my interest in quantum physics and cosmology late. Like 5 years ago by watching UA-cam videos from PBS Space Time, recorded university lectures and such. I have watched so many different videos on UA-cam on subjects like relativity and quantum physics and out of the hundreds of GREAT channels from many different amazing science communicators here YOUR channel is definitely one of the best and most sincere / genuine feeling. You are great at explaining, and your graphics are also very good. They get the message across clearly even though they are not like PBS space time level 3d stuff. Point is that the super produced graphics are clearly not necessary. I have watched your video books several times and each time I have picked up a lot of new stuff and a deeper understanding for the subjects so I feel like I get something new every time still. I love being able to look at stuff, like electronics for example, and have a deeper understanding of how it works. I guess that's what most of us that ended up on this website have in common: We love to understand how the universe works. How old is it? How fast is it? How small is it? Etc. I have thought about this a little and what you do really contributes to humanity. You have gathered so much knowledge over your years, and now you share it forward, so that younger people can learn what you learnt, and as they get older - thanks to you and the other giants whose shoulders they stand upon - grow to become even more knowledgeable. Without paying it forward, knowledge will be lost eventually. If you have inspired hundreds of people to go into stem fields, lets say. That is a huge contribution to the world. Butterfly effect? More like Butler effect hee-hee. You have got a snowball started rolling downhill and it will only grow with more positive outcomes. And the two best parts are: You don't seem THAT old I mean you have potentially decades left so I am hopeful we will get more awesome "chapters" of your series. Maybe share some of your knowledge in computers? I'd love to learn more about IC chips and the physics behind making them work, and how they work. I am sure you have loads of more things you could share. All I am saying is that if you enjoy doing this, you clearly have people that appreciate your hard work. You could easily also open a patron account, I am sure you have considered this already. But it just seems to me that you deserve money for this service you do to humanity. If the Kardashians get payed for what they do then so should you for what you do :-) If wages were based on contribution to humanity/society we would certainly live in a different world... Interesting thought. But I digress. ...And secondly - this will outlive you. And hopefully me too. Storage is getting cheaper and I think UA-cam will be seen as a vault of history. Videos will not disappear for a long long time. Especially now that Google owns it. I saw a video from the 40s' explaining vacuum tubes, and one from the 60s' explaining integrated circuits. They were old, but what they explained has not changed and they were great. So even though some parts of the cosmology will probably be outdated in 30 years, I am sure your videos will be able to teach people stuff for decades to come. Which in turn create people who can pass it on again... And let's not forget you are great at updating your videos and keeping the channel up to date when big stuff has come out. But then again, I watched the gravitational waves episode yesterday and was like the first time so surprised when in the end you said that we haven't seen any yet. The information in the video was still of course spot on with the only thing "wrong" today being you saying that we haven't. This turned out pretty lengthy. But it still feels so inadequate. I don't feel like my gratitude can even be shown in a little comment. Just know that you are spreading so much positivity with your what I have interpreted as your hobby project. It is amazing. Much respect and love and I hope you keep creating awesome content!! And if you don't, then what you have done so far has already taught more people than probably any university textbook you can find. THANK YOU! Kind regards Alfred Stahlin Stockholm, Sweden
I like this man rate of speech, he speaks in short phrases, straight to the points no superficial fillers, no lame comedy, helps listeners grasp section by section, not overwhelming on complex concepts
I feel like I've learned more in a half-hour video than six months at college. Thank you! (By the way, to people complaining it's 'too boring', what did you expect from a video about a Higgs Boson? Comedy skits and cat vines? You're like those guys who order espressos and then complain their drink is too bitter, come on.)
Wait till you learn that matter doesn't exist, that your 'self' is merely a persistent perceptual illusion you developed around twelve months old, and that the Vedas logically explain consciousness and reality far better than anything you'll ever encounter in a university of dogmatism. There's so much mind blowing information you'll never get in college. Betcha you'll never learn that consciousness can literally be cut with a knife. Alien Hand Syndrome is an example of this behavior. Surgery can separate your consciousness into individualized parts, just as all 'living' things are individualized components of a singular consciousness.
@@maf7742 I didn't use the word "arbitrary" anywhere, nor does that word make any sense at all in the context of what I wrote. And I don't write B.S. I'm 50 years old, took logic courses in college, I don't rely on faith or belief for anything, and I've spent decades studying the nature of consciousness and reality... so which part exactly is B.S.
@@maf7742 I don't know how to respond to that because it's also not what I said. Unless I can understand what is confusing you, I can't really be much help. What statement are you referring to?
This is spectacular. I spend a lot of time watching science/physics documentaries and no one else out there has been able to go so deep into the subject so clearly. Thank you!!
I need to watch and read some bits more than once, but at least while you are explaining I actually get it. Best pedagogy on the field on yt. Profound respect and thanks for these vids.
Thank You for providing those of us that are interested in partical interactions with such great content. This video series was amazing. By FAR the best explaations i have ever heard, and the pacing is perfect! I sincerly hope at some point you decide to continue this dive into partical interacions with even more content.
I loved the explanations, the complications, the simplifications and over and above everything, the clarity of the ideas communicated through the clearest and sweetest voice of the fine looking Professor!
Well done, sir. I especially enjoyed that you don't talk too quickly..., so I can follow along better. Also, the background music was enjoyable. Thank you.
I honestly cannot believe that you posted you liked the background music ROTFLMAOFF because myself and a many myriad of others HAD to surrender and stop viewing due to said background music, due to it's distraction! I'm glad you like it though!
This video is amazing, thank you sir for taking the time to make such an explanatory and thorough video on this subject. Most of the other physicists/videos on the subject don't even attempt to go anywhere near this much detail of how each particle that we know about in quantum mechanics function.
A very well put together video though I am not a physicist and some of it goes over my head but love the music. Calming with your adorable gentle voice I'd come back just to hear you again.
So SEA is a youtuber who blew my mind with space. I like learning about the mind blowing realities the universe holds. This video finally gave me a sufficient explanation of where we currently are with physics yet still blew my mind. This was awesome.
Complexity into simplicity, great explanation, thank you sir, I understand better the particle and the wave, the weak and strong force. You're a gifted teacher!
Thank you sir for making these brilliant and in-depth going video books. You are making it easier for us "normal" people to understand physics and quantum physics and you cover even difficult and hard to understand parts in a really good way. Thank you! Keep up your great work and you will become even more popular on UA-cam. Stay in there! You can do it!
I really like the stuff that is talked about in this video. The problem I have is that the people I know in my life, my friends, my family, my girlfriends, they don't give a damn about that. At least here I have a chance to watch the topics I really care about. I'm really fascinated by the way the universe works. Keep on the good work. I totally appreciate your videos.
I am so glad to have come across David Butler, it really is like cracking youtube jackpot, he is the shepherd of my intellectual mind, so brutally soft as the subject matter requires, I just have to meditate more to keep my hype in check to be able soak in or understand these lectures better and better.
@@Jose_Hunters_EWF_Remixes First of all I would like to thank you for finding it noble. As I read your comment I laughed at how right you are. Nevertheless I think I just am a lovesick person, and I consider myself lucky and appreciate it very much to know who my true love is. I do find the fact that David Butler has been married for a long time so nice and it can only raise my hopes for my own good fortune.
Dear David Butler, I stumbled recently upon your two series "how small is it" and "how big is it" and find them absolutely fantastic, a delight. I am (perhaps like you) a professional scientist interested in all avenues of science. Your videos explanations of the very big and very small are second to none and can be followed by non scientists. I think you are significantly advancing the understanding of the big questions in science for the general audience.
David Butler you are a true teacher. I don't have any college background but understood a lot of what your teaching because of your teaching Style...Slow, concise, accurate, well spoken with a good attitude toward the student. Thank you...!:-)
I noticed the music and presentation style and I liked it. I tend to be very data and information focused and watched to be educated. Not entertained. I am always dismayed at the complainers' comments though. I usually do not bother to read the inanity but unfortunately did so now. Great content video!
Absolutely awesome series. I can't believe it only has 173K views. I considered my learned, and to have an elementary understanding of Quantum Mechanics. As a "civilian scientist", ie, one who understands and believes in the scientific method, this brought together so many things, that while I accepted, I never really understood. Not that I have a TRUE understanding of them even now, but you have definitely helped to clear the muddy water view I had of the standard model. Thanks so much for this!
Love the Bolero, Ravel was a musical genius. You've definitely raised the bar for the rest of the documentary producers. An added bonus is getting to watch without uninvited commercial breaks. Thank-you also for speaking in American at levels anyone can dissimulate.
Excellent series of videos. A lot of this I'd over my head, but its fascinating and you've increased my understanding. I love the way you teach. Thank you very much.
Wow. That was spectacular. I just finished learning classical electrodynamics and am starting to learn some relativity in electrodynamics. It's always fun to look ahead and get a deeper understanding of what's going on and where physicists are at today.
I just subscribed after seeing the first video of yours that I stumbled across and I can't express how excited to view more of your work. Just awesome dude.
Indeed, thank you, the simplified videos I've watched previously had masked the "actuality" of what was understood. I understand why, but you've captured and appropriately verbalized it where I now fully grasp the existing thinking... as much I can with limited knowledge. It answers many of the questions I had with the simpler videos - thank you!
WOW, you did a great job. It's rare to find a tube presentation with such a fluid explanation and generalization of so many fields of physics. I didn't have the honor of meeting the great Richard Feynman but I couldn't help but think this presentation would put a smile on his face.
I’m very young and I’m happy I understand quantum mechanics and physics in general right now I’d be learning pre algebra instead I choose to study by myself quantum field theory the Doppler effect Feynmans equations zero point energy fields theoretical theories of everything etc, this video helped me with what I love and to understand it better and thankyou
Listening to you talk is like listening to my self talk , I say some words I pause (think) then I say more words pause (think) You Have Such A Wonderful Mind Thank You So Very Much I have always believed that what looks like empty space is not empty space there is something there.
I have studied nuclear physics for over 30 years, but David may well be the greatest physics educator I have ever encountered. His gift for teaching is rare indeed.

David Butler you are a true teacher. I don't have any college background but understood a lot of what your teaching because of your teaching Style...Slow, concise, accurate, well spoken with a good attitude toward the student. Thank you...!:-)
I did not ask what is going on with action at a distance. I love your artistic choices of music. It is very nice.
Sir, your material on UA-cam is among the best, most respected and most fun to watch and learn from!! Seriously! I applaud you sir, 👏
I noticed the music and presentation style and I liked it. I tend to be very data and information focused and watched to be educated. Not entertained. I am always dismayed at the complainers' comments though. I usually do not bother to read the inanity but unfortunately did so now. Great content video!
Absolutely awesome series. I can't believe it only has 173K views. I considered my learned, and to have an elementary understanding of Quantum Mechanics. As a "civilian scientist", ie, one who understands and believes in the scientific method, this brought together so many things, that while I accepted, I never really understood. Not that I have a TRUE understanding of them even now, but you have definitely helped to clear the muddy water view I had of the standard model. Thanks so much for this!
This is the best explanation ever!!!I've watched hundreds of these. This is the best one to date
Great vid. I didn't think I would enjoy at first but actually found it very interesting right from the start
Eyes sleepy
Body tired

Brain Lets watch strong forces!
For the first time I can understand “virtual particles” as non persistent or non resonant disturbances in a relevant field. Thankyou !
Love the Bolero, Ravel was a musical genius. You've definitely raised the bar for the rest of the documentary producers. An added bonus is getting to watch without uninvited commercial breaks. Thank-you also for speaking in American at levels anyone can dissimulate.
Excellent series of videos. A lot of this I'd over my head, but its fascinating and you've increased my understanding. I love the way you teach. Thank you very much.
really helped me make sense of a subject that has interested me for several decades
this is the best video I've seen in a while ! thanks!
increasing playback speed definitely helps

Wow. That was spectacular. I just finished learning classical electrodynamics and am starting to learn some relativity in electrodynamics. It's always fun to look ahead and get a deeper understanding of what's going on and where physicists are at today.
I just subscribed after seeing the first video of yours that I stumbled across and I can't express how excited to view more of your work. Just awesome dude.
Thank you for producing this video
Amasing it is a great explication for me who have the LHC 100 m under my home . thank's for this work and have a good new year David
Indeed, thank you, the simplified videos I've watched previously had masked the "actuality" of what was understood. I understand why, but you've captured and appropriately verbalized it where I now fully grasp the existing thinking... as much I can with limited knowledge. It answers many of the questions I had with the simpler videos - thank you!
WOW, you did a great job. It's rare to find a tube presentation with such a fluid explanation and generalization of so many fields of physics. I didn't have the honor of meeting the great Richard Feynman but I couldn't help but think this presentation would put a smile on his face.
Excellent presentation!!! Thank you.
I’m very young and I’m happy I understand quantum mechanics and physics in general right now I’d be learning pre algebra instead I choose to study by myself quantum field theory the Doppler effect Feynmans equations zero point energy fields theoretical theories of everything etc, this video helped me with what I love and to understand it better and thankyou
Don’t forget to go to the beach and laugh also
Dude just wanted to know why magnet atracc, but ended up learning why mass is mass
Bad physics.
it protec, it attacc, but most importantly, it atracc
Thank you for a fantastic explanation coupled with great visual aids. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Listening to you talk is like listening to my self talk , I say some words I pause (think) then I say more words pause (think) You Have Such A Wonderful Mind Thank You So Very Much I have always believed that what looks like empty space is not empty space there is something there.
You are the Bob Ross of physics!
I wish I had teacher like you growing up. The way you explain and elaborate is just amazing. ❤️
Just wanted to express my appreciation for this video. Thanks!
absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for this wonderful video and presentation!
I love your videos, today I discover your channel and have a marathon, thank you
Great Video now I completely know the different between QED and QCD thank you David Butler!
A clear explanation! Should be watched twice though by non-physicists.
Well done!!
fascinatingly explained, music totally fine too ;) subscribed
What a wonderful channel! Thank You Mr Butler!
Brilliant sir, as usual. Thanks for your generosity.
21:10 The Higgs field is not slowing particles down!
Thank you finally someone acknowledges this to the public.
😮
This is ASMR
Very interesting subject, great music.
A pleasure to watch and listen to. Where hard science is bent and melded into poetry
Can't explain how truly great these videos are.
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on
*FIRE!*
