    Electric Charge and Electric Fields

    What's the deal with electricity? Benjamin Franklin flies a kite one day and then all of a sudden you can charge your phone? There's a gap in conceptual understanding!

    Avi Loeb is a Fraud Part 2: 3I/ATLAS Shrugged

    A few months ago I exposed Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb as a grifting fraud, whose entire "scientific output" over the past decade or so, has been limited to unpublished preprints lying about astronomical phenomena that he then blasts to the media to garner fame and sell s****y books full of lies. He's completed two rounds of this behavior, first with exocomet 'Oumuamua, which he pretended was a spaceship, and then with a meteor that landed in the Pacific Ocean, which he also pretended was a spaceship, while he pretended to have retrieved fragments of it. Through this behavior he had already been known to be a massive fraud among the scientific community. But round three of the Avi Loeb grifter playbook has been in full effect since July of this year, with the discovery of exocomet 3I/ATLAS. He's been running his mouth about how this is aliens as well, lying through his teeth about every single aspect of this object, every single day, on any platform that will host him. He's gearing up for another s****y book and other blatant cash grabs, while also cuing up some other shady developments for himself, so let's take him down a notch by showing the world what a pathetic grifting fraud he's been regarding this object, shall we?Early 3I/ATLAS paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.08111Jewitt paper: https://www.scribd.com/document/936634264/Jewitt-2025-ApJL-990-L2Cordiner paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ae0647My first video on Avi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nYXIeZh_bwMy video on 'Oumuamua: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJCO97BpYIEWatch my Astronomy/Astrophysics tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveAstronomyWatch my other debunks/debates/discussions: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveDebunkEMAIL► ProfessorDaveExplains@gmail.comPATREON► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Learn more about your ad choices.

    Introduction to Geometry: Ancient Greece and the Pythagoreans

    I have to tell you, Ancient Greece is my favorite era of history. Oh, how I wish I could have been there to philosophize with the greats! Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, plus all of the mathematicians, like Pythagoras. He loved math so much, he made a religion out of it! I mean it makes sense, if you transport yourself to that time, where we didn't know any science.

    What is Light? Maxwell and the Electromagnetic Spectrum

    Up until a couple centuries ago, we had no idea what light is. It seems like magic, no? But there is no magic in this world, really. Just stuff we don't understand. So let's understand light a little better right now, through James Clerk Maxwell and the electromagnetic spectrum.Watch the whole Classical Physics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2Mathematics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathsGeneral Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► ProfessorDaveExplains@gmail.comPATREON► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.
