I've always long believed that this is the single most interesting video on YouTube. It's so well written and well explained, and every time it pops up, I watch it in its entirety. Such a fantastic channel.

I’ve watched it so many times. When I tell people about my favorite YouTube video they laugh at me, but then I watch it with them and they’re like “aight yeah that was pretty good.”

Engineer Guy just recently reappeared after a several years long hiatus and published a series of new videos about the core tenets of engineering. Really good stuff. This one and the one about the drinking bird toy are classics

I'm so glad Bill won the 'Carl Sagan Award for Public Appreciation of Science' in 2019, he really is an outstanding science communicator.

Like a fun uncle who can calmly answer every 'why' thrown at him.
