The speed of dark isn’t fast enough to get me when I’m running up the stairs
-
As a child I was afraid of the dark. Now, with electricity prices, I'm afraid of the lights.
-
Vsauce then: "How to count past infinity" Vsauce now: "Do chairs exist?"
-
You can also get the shadow blister effect when you pinch your fingers together, and look really closely. When they are REEEEEALLY close together, you can see a shadow blister spawn, connecting them.

"what is the speed of dark?" what the speed of light isnt

Micheal makes me feel smart and dumb at the same time. Smh
-
He’s under-appreciated, he has such a uniquely creative and authentic mind. His videos blow open new possibilities and paradigms in your own thinking. It should not be understated how valuable and rare and compelling of a mind he has.
-
Hey Michael, YouTube here. We're not Vsauce. You're Vsauce. We're the audience. You're the content creator. That makes you Vsauce because it's your channel.

The speed of fast

I'm honestly expecting one day to click a vsauce video titled "why cats land on their feet" and come out questioning my existence as a human.
-
This whole video is literally friggen mind blowing! I'll be thinking of it for a good bunch of days. Thank you for that!
-
I'd like to add something: though it is good to not be too confident in your findings, overly submitting to questioning, makes you question yourself to the point of ignorance. People end up submitting then, to any authority that appears more knowledgeable. Instead of searching for themselves. Do not be overly confident, but the manner in which you grow confidence in both yourself and others, is the doubt of both yourself and others. Challenge yourself. Challenge the others. We are one.
-
to be honest, the more science you know the more confusing this question is
-
wish school science was like this
-
I honestly think that science leading to just more questions is a good thing- we won't run out of fun new stuff to investigate and experiment with, it's just more dark to illuminate but we can figure out facsinating new ways to do so faster, and uncover more dark patches.
-
This is such a great piece of work that you do... I really enjoyed this. Thank you so much!

“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.” ― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
