Cosmic Superstrings - Sixty Symbols

Ed embodies the humble, softly spoken, yet fiercely intellectual scientist, using his imagination to delve into the mystery of how the universe came to be. Putting out those Aristotelian 2.0 vibes.

I love how Professor Ed Copeland explain things.He is calm and radiates positive energy.

I love the idea that Ed Copeland sometimes gets quite angry.

I love listening to Ed Copeland!

I get so excited when science videos are tens of minutes long. More of these the merrier :o.

Professor Ed is my favourite by far!

Congratulations on the medal as well!

Hi all - have seen comments for an against the text… I decided to write a little blog about it for those interested in the editing process… Link in the description.

love the longer format. perhaps there can be a balance struck between the short and long scale videos on this channel. also loved hearing him talk about exactly what he wanted to with minimal interruption, got to see a small window into how the professor's mental gears work. interesting how he said more than once that he continues and persists with this idea because of its "beauty". in a way i suppose artists and scientists aren't so different, they both deal in the constant struggle to convey truths. beauty seems to perhaps be a happy aftereffect. keep 'em coming Brady :)

What he explains seems so out of reality to me that it almost feels like I'm watching a drug addict going into a mad hysteria or something.. xD

No matter what the results are, the observations made while trying to understand this can be important for other theories.

I play videos with Proffesor Ed on my phone as I sleep. His voice is like a warm blanket snuggling me to sleep. Plus, I swear I wake up each morning just a little bit smarter.

I had to pause Brady just to say, this video's on screen text is fantastic. You are the best!

Something which I find cool is that maybe in the future Ed Copeland is one of those big shot physicists/mathematicians like Einstein or Pythagoras. And you can look at him explain things about in a simple way on the old ancient youtube library. Exploring these old 1080p videos with these horribly low bitrates and they're not even shot in VR. And you get a sense of how mankind was in certain ways the same despite of how primitive their technology was. The idea is just amusing.

So, what happens if a string passes the event horizon of a black hole? Is it like a kid eating spaghetti?

ed's description at the end about how he would feel if strings didnt exist is just so amazing - we need more people like this. taking chances etc giving things a try. and if everyone took chances, not everyone would be right but its not about individual achievement its about humanity's achievement as a whole. so glad there are people who havent given up on string theory!

Love the explanation but the text was distracting. I wouldn't mind if they were animations supporting what the professor was explaining though. In fact animations would supplement the video.

Ed Copeland is simply amazing. I can listen to him for hours... Great, great video again Brady!! I really appreciate your work and the professors willingness to talk about these subjects in a way that we can grasp the general idea. This is priceless for humanity!

I've gotten to the point where there's too much good YouTube to watch -- and then I stumble on a video like this. Providing such a long, deep dive for the layman is incredible, Brady and Ed. I think this is some of your best work that I've seen.

Ed is such an amazing person. I like his competence, his voice, that he is always smiling in enthusiasm and humility, how he can explain stuff, and that he blushes sometimes (note the red ears towards the end of the video). Such a brilliant and likeable person.
