You get the "Electro Boom" award for getting zapped by static electricity.
-
This is probably your 'nicest' response video. You didn't rip him a new one, you stuck to your knowledge, experience, and focused on the science. Great work.
-
Awesome! This video would have been even better if you wore the Victorian era attire and had a pipe. Victorian era hoodie just doesn't have the same weight to it.
-
Always good to see you actually running the tests and explaining what's going on and why. Actual science might not seem that exciting to most, but it'll sure teach you a lot more than just showing off a cool trick and stating a believed reason for it that you haven't actually tested.
-
As a physicist I appreciate that you break down the issue into objectively testable tasks. It is scientifically honest. Kudos.
-
You can really see how excited he is too actually disprove something substantial, that is not complete bs like "unlimited energy battery" or "food from co2 out of thin air".

When I was doing Nuffield Physics at school (about 45 years ago), the teacher set us a challenge to find something that was attracted by positive and negative charges. We were meant to fail, but I found the water stream from the tap was attracted independently of the charge. The teacher told me rather gruffly that it didn't count. So much for scientific method !
-
I don't know how I missed this video for a year, but this is brilliant! More than a little difficult to argue with. When someone starts with a conclusion, it's not hard to skew the experiment to generate the desired outcome. You did the polar opposite - pun intended.
-
I just like how even a decade or so later thunderf00t never forgave and never forgot.
-
Fascinating stuff! Shows the true power of a comprehensive experiment. Well done.
-
I think this was done very well, thank you breaking this down with such transparent experiment results and processes. Hugely valuable.
-
Every single time I started to question an idea presented in this video, the immediate next step in the experiment answered. Really awesome stuff.
-
Very good and smart test setups, Thanks for the demonstration!
-
Best kind of debunking, where the goal is to find out what's actually happening, instead of proving the other side wrong. Kudos :D
-
Very nice demonstration. I liked especially the isolated water in the tiny tube. No charge escape possible, showing that only the molecular dipole counts. One might even think of a measurement method to determine the dipole of molecules in the dipole state.

Veritasium is always smiling like he is selling a second hand car to you. Yes, the car was owned by an old lady that only used the car on Sundays to go to Church. Yes, there is a genuine trustworthy smile that has to give you some confidence. Problem is, I've seen that smile before.
-
I rly enjoyed the more relaxed approach on this video. Then again the guy doesn't try to scam people with shitty products, so the regular busted vibe wouldnt have felt right
-
my chemistry teacher got really mad back in the day about the claim that it wasn't because of water's polarization, demonstrated it with the purified water from the lab tap and graced the classroom with a 15min rant about false chemistry facts from the web😂
-
This was brilliant, reminded me of The Royal Institute Christmas lectures. Love the way, when you push the charge into them, that the watet droplets repel each other after the laminar flow breaks down as they all have the same charge.
-
I love this so much, you have demonstrated the scientific method and scientific philosophy beautifully. This is what I love about the field and what makes me passionate about becoming a scientist some day. Keep up the good work and love to see people working constructively to keep us all honest :)
