  • As a professor of physics I always love to see good accounts on subjects students often find difficult. This is not only good, it's excellent.
  • @houstoncambodia
    First 40 seconds and you've already made me understand WHY time is the 4th dimension, something I've never understood.
  • @jeunjetta
    Congrats on having a talent for explaining things in a systematic "chain of thoughts" to get us to the complicated point without breaking a sweat. Nice work. Thanks :) I wish text books could be more like you ;)
  • I am an incoming Physics major with immense love for theoretical Physics. Generally you don't find these kind of videos which explain how GR works. You sir are a Hero for what you have accomplished is stunning, I have been sticking to this channel for a year and all videos are worth it.
  • @shrikant8446
    This channel should grow fast Love from INDIA💐🙏
  • @georgepaul6240
    I'm more confused than a homeless man on house arrest,I need to go revisit how equations are derived
  • @zachstar
    Hope you guys enjoy! Here's the follow up video: https://youtu.be/mmtLgYVEuJs Oh and as someone pointed out, small typo at 16:40, the second term in parentheses should also be (1/2e1 + 2e2) (accidentally put a dot product instead of an addition sign).
  • @canriecrystol
    Man, when math generalize it's just beautiful. The feeling of just knowing nothing but specific cases is what makes me keep pushing myself forward. Can't wait to see more!
  • @Daisy_Darkly
    I'm seriously bad at math and have never taken a class above algebra but man, this stuff is so cool.
  • @bikashthapa7316
    you just literally summarize whole differential geometry under 22 min
  • Dude, this series is so badass. I have been slowly getting into tensor analysis lately and it's straightup blowing my goddamn mind.
  • This is random, but I'm a painter and watching this video it dawned on me what I'm missing in my attempts to paint the curvature of water. Just learning things for fun, and it turned out very applicable. Thanks!
  • @gwyn.
    12:20 Maybe I forgot this in high school but it blew my mind
  • @anemonekm7117
    This is so well explained, I found myself figuring out the answers, before you even said them. You make very advanced things seem so simple! Thank you for these videos :)
  • @atulraj2668
    Wow, you always choose great topics and explain them so brilliantly. Hats off
  • @bronjo9343
    Man you just nailed it!!! It was really interesting . Waiting for your next vid. 🔥
  • @kianatehrani
    Please make more of these kinds of videos! You explain everything so clearly! I’ve never been good at math but I always found it beautiful and wished I could understand it better. You’re helping me (and others like me) greatly!! Thank you!!
  • Seeing this was magical. A difficult concept explained so simply. I just enjoyed it . And thank you for it.
  • This was the best video i saw this month Thanks :) Now im overflowing with ideas and motivation to continue pursuing the path of science
