Go!!

1, 2, 3, a song about 'lectricity because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive. Because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive.

Oh, 4, 5, 6, volts of potential difference makes electrons go round if the circuit is complete and sound. Circuit's closed.

Voltage! There! Current flows! Power everywhere! We use AC, in factories and homes because we can transform it. High voltage transmits with lower loss, but low voltage is best for safety.

I said, what is electricity? Well, so, 1, 2, 3, a song about 'lectricity because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive. Because it powers our lives, makes it possible for us to thrive.

Oh, 4, 5, 6, volts of potential difference makes electrons go round if the circuit is complete and sound. Heat makes steam, turns turbines, and a magnet in coils of wires.

We use AC in factories and homes because we can transform it. High voltage transmits with lower loss, but low voltage is best for safety.

I said, what is electricity? Oh yeah, oh yeah, c'mon! How'd it be no energy of the electrical persuasion? I know we'd have no computers, no internet, or mobile phones, yeah!

Powers the world, makes the world, we need electricity, yeah!

The Cosmic Calendar | Cosmos: Possible Worlds

This cosmic calendar compresses all of the last 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang into a single calendar. Either every month is a little more than a billion years, every day a little less than 40 million. A single hour is almost 2 million years. That …

The Ultimate Conspiracy Debunker

The Internet is like a breeding ground for conspiracy theories. While some are just stupid and funny, others promote ignorance and an unhealthy distrust. So we went to the Kurzgesagt lab and developed a foolproof system to destroy not all but a lot of con…

There Can Be No Final Theory of Gravity

In almost all cases, you only ever have one theory on offer. In the case of gravity, there literally is only one theory on offer at the moment: there’s general relativity. Previously, we did have two theories; we had Newtonian gravity, and we had general …

The Physics of Lightsabers | StarTalk

[Applause] Star Talk, we’re back featuring my interview with the British physicist Brian Cox. So I had to bring up the fact that he and I had, like, a Twitter argument over the physics of lightsabers. Aha, yeah! And I just had to bring it up and just ope…
