Dasha Tatarkova

Scientists and inventors today becoming the new rock stars. It turned out that understanding how the world around us works is not only useful, but much more interesting than it might have seemed from the school curriculum. YouTube in this sense is simply a treasure trove where you can find interesting information about everything from modern philosophy to astrophysics. We've found the most fascinating channels dedicated to popular explanations of the world inside and out.

PostScience

"PostNauka" is the first major popular science portal in Russian. Despite the fact that since 2012 the project of the year has grown into a huge website, the main backbone is a large collection of videos. Compared to many channels, PostNauka boasts an incredibly wide range of topics on which both single lectures and an entire course are filmed. All video lectures are uploaded on the official YouTube channel, and their text versions are available on the website. Leading Russian scientists talk about science and technology in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, physics, as well as the Russian language and much more - a full list of subjects can be found on the website. Perhaps the only drawback is the extreme academic nature of the approach: after all, it was not for nothing that we fell asleep at the university.

MinutePhysics

“Physics in a Minute” was invented by the American mathematician and physicist Henry Reich. The title is a little disingenuous regarding the length of the video, but this is completely unimportant - even the longest explainers of the channel are watched in one go. He already has almost 3 million subscribers, and all because Reich very clearly answers various questions regarding physics that can puzzle anyone: “Why is pink not a color?”, “What is the Higgs boson?” and finally, the most popular video “An object that cannot be moved, against a non-stop force - who will win”? Now the channel has a version in Spanish, as well as a sister project, MinuteEarth, which, obviously, talks about entertaining earthly phenomena.

Kurzgesagt

"Kurz gesagt" literally means "in short" in German. A hint of a short video format is a win-win. Thus, even those not interested in science will not be intimidated by the complex or controversial topic in the title. The name of the channel directly indicates that the discussion will not last long. In general, Kurzgesagt is a design bureau run by Philipp Dettmer and Stefan Rether, specializing in educational animation. It's no surprise that their videos are not just educational, but also the most beautiful of all. Be prepared: after the video about what life is, existential stupor is guaranteed for at least half an hour.

Arzamas Academy

A young but important Russian project: Arzamas.Academy was launched at the beginning of the year - but it is no longer possible to imagine an intelligent Russian information space without it. However, the team, which includes Philip Dzyadko, Alexey Munipov, and, for example, prefers to call it not educational, but educational. The spirit of the old "rggush" school reigns here, but this does not mean that it will be boring. Essentially, this is an online university for those who don’t have much time, attention deficit, but a lot of interest. A new course is published once a week: from “Architecture as a Means of Communication” to “Crime and Punishment in the Middle Ages,” and for the really lazy, each cycle has a digest. Of course, “Arzamas” is, first of all, a very convenient and beautiful website, but the project also has its own channel on YouTube, where for now there is a series of videos about the classics of Russian literature.

AsapSCIENCE

Mitchell Moffitt and Gregory Brown are responsible for fast-as-can-be science. Before the damn dress of an unknown color appeared, sent from above to punish the Internet, the most popular video on AsapSCIENCE was “What came first - the chicken or the egg?” The channel is full of answers to similar, often paradoxical, questions. Their videos are edited touching pictures drawn with a marker on a white board. This approach well reflects the whole essence of the project: to answer, perhaps naive, but actually interesting questions that inevitably arise in thinking people, with the help of science. AsapSCIENCE has a sister project, AsapTHOUGHT, created by the same authors, who are also partners not just in work, but also in life. Openly gay scientists even made a touching video, in which they discuss both in the scientific field and on YouTube.

Vsauce

Over time, many successful YouTube projects grow into a whole conglomerate. This is the case with Vsauce, one of the most (if not the most) popular science channels on YouTube. It started out as a hodgepodge of formats and presenters, but it quickly became clear what was the most popular. In addition to the very first channel, created by Michael Stevens, who dedicated his life to educating people around the world, there are now two more that are run by other people. Stevens earned his popularity not only thanks to classic popular science and philosophical questions, the answers to which we are too lazy to look for and read in other open sources, but also thanks to his charisma and manner of presentation, which made watching his videos a real pleasure. We also recommend watching his TED talk, where he talks more about his mission and educational YouTube.

Mental Floss

Mental Floss is everything at once: a YouTube channel, a popular blog, books, T-shirts and, of course, the magazine where it all started. What they do best is compile various facts into fun lists, which are especially easy to digest in video format. The creators' area of ​​interest is the widest; here you can find the most interesting facts about alcohol, English words that are most often pronounced incorrectly, popular quotes, and what not. Essentially, it's the internet's favorite format for random encyclopedic knowledge told in an entertaining way. One of the successes of the channel is the popular author of youth literature John Green, who is its face. After a couple of weeks of regular viewing, you're easily at the party.

PBS Idea Channel

PBS Digital Studios is an entire network of YouTube channels that connects various content creators to help them make professional online videos. Idea Channel is obviously the best of them. It was invented by Mike Ragnetta, who has repeatedly received the Webby Award for his services to the Internet. This result looks well deserved, since Ragnetta promotes a critical approach to modern pop-cultural phenomena and always tries to find an unusual angle to examine the topic. Each video begins with the phrase “I have this idea,” then the main topic of the video is announced. The creator of the PBS Idea Channel doesn't just talk out loud about the philosophical and cultural issues that concern him - his videos are especially valuable because he explores the subject in detail, citing many authoritative researchers in the philosophy of culture from antiquity to the present day.

Stuff Mom Never Told You

Another channel that is part of a large creative network. Stuff Mom Never Told You is a sister program of HowStuffWorks, designed to educate while entertaining. In the vast field of interests of its creators, Stuff Mom Never Told You occupies a specific niche. The creator of the blog and YouTube channel of the same name, Kristen Conger, talks about cultural and scientific social phenomena that concern her as a woman. Kristen's pro-feminist videos touch on a variety of issues relevant in modern society, from heels to abortion. Conger actively communicates with readers and viewers and always does detailed research on facts before using them in his work. She and her partner also produce a podcast, which can be found on their website.

Veritasium

Derek Mueller's YouTube channel brings together the best that can be said about modern science and engineering. He chose an obvious name for it: veritas in Latin means “truth.” Thus, masquerading as an item on the periodic table, Veritasium becomes the “element of truth.” Muller not only answers obvious and not so pseudo-scientific questions, but also often inserts interesting practical experiments into his videos. It's the combination of an engineering approach, interviews with experts like Nobel laureate physicist Brian Schmidt or astronaut Chris Hadfield, and popular science that makes his videos so interesting. The most beloved segments on Veritasium are social polls that show exactly what beliefs about science exist among the general audience.

Crash Course

Channel created by the Green brothers: John and Hank. Crash Course was launched as part of the YouTube Original Channel Initiative, which was sponsored by Google to attract professional content creators. This is still the same John Green who helps make videos for Mental Floss, but here it goes beyond compilations of random facts. The Green brothers set out to create an educational space where they could cover big, complex topics while covering only the essentials. Main areas: world history, literature, ecology, chemistry and physics. Videos on a short history course, by the way, are almost the most fascinating. A heap of facts and complex logical connections is easily built into a clear picture, thanks to the excellent combination of sequential presentation and video sequence, which is often interrupted by useful and beautiful animation. Hank, by the way, is creating another popular science channel SciShow.

Khan Academy

It may be hard to believe, but even if you hate math, after a couple of videos on this channel, you'll likely love it. Khan Academy is an entire non-profit organization created by Salman Khan, an MIT graduate and Harvard MBA, to make education accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or location. In his home studio, Khan has already made about 5,000 educational videos, talking about algebra and other branches of the exact sciences. Thanks to his mission, Khan became an Internet celebrity and is known far beyond the scientific YouTube community. If it’s difficult to believe that a video made from a black background and mysterious numbers can be fascinating, we recommend that you just watch at least one to the end. After this, algebraic problems will seem like the best way to stretch your brain and will certainly be more interesting than a crossword puzzle. Among its many affiliated sites, Khan Academy also has a YouTube channel. in Russian.

Especially for those who are hungry for new knowledge and looking for where to acquire it - best youtube channels. This review will not contain information about bloggers who wrap themselves in duct tape, cover the floor with French fries, and drink a bottle of sunflower oil on a dare. We will tell you about those who actually help you learn something new, improve or acquire some skill. Further only the best of the best!
