Sixty Symbols videos by Brady Haran
A run-down of Brady's channels:
periodicvideos.blogspot.co.uk/... - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Ed embodies the humble, softly spoken, yet fiercely intellectual scientist, using his imagination to delve into the mystery of how the universe came to be. Putting out those Aristotelian 2.0 vibes.

I love how Professor Ed Copeland explain things.He is calm and radiates positive energy.
and gravitational waves
A gentle soul
Do a two winding with a wider rubber band and see 180° flip.
I love the idea that Ed Copeland sometimes gets quite angry.
Would’ve looked odd to me
I can imagine this man as actor playing serial killer talking about all his journey in jail ;) But seriously its pleasure to watch him explaining anything
I get the impression that if you were to genuinely disrespect him, he would destroy you.
Hes a passionate man
I love listening to Ed Copeland!
I get so excited when science videos are tens of minutes long. More of these the merrier :o.
Professor Ed is my favourite by far!
Congratulations on the medal as well!
Hi all - have seen comments for an against the text… I decided to write a little blog about it for those interested in the editing process… Link in the description.
Sixty Symbols I know I'm late on this reply, but my opinion on the the text is it would be perfect without the black background. Just the white text in a transparent layer on top of the video, perhaps smaller and to the side so it doesn't block the subjects face too much. As always thanks for your hard work on the videos!
'FLOP AROUND'
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS. I HAVWE LEARNED MORE ABOUT SCIENCE/PHYSICS AND OUR UNIVERSE FROM THESE VIDS THAN IN 16 SOME YRS IN SCHOOL
@Nonprophet, that wouldn't help point 2 very much. I prefer the black background
would it be possible that cosmic strings are flows of neutrinos or something
No matter what the results are, the observations made while trying to understand this can be important for other theories.
love the longer format. perhaps there can be a balance struck between the short and long scale videos on this channel.
also loved hearing him talk about exactly what he wanted to with minimal interruption, got to see a small window into how the professor's mental gears work.
interesting how he said more than once that he continues and persists with this idea because of its "beauty". in a way i suppose artists and scientists aren't so different, they both deal in the constant struggle to convey truths. beauty seems to perhaps be a happy aftereffect.
keep 'em coming Brady :)
I agree! And a lot of times the beauty is in the truth itself, as well as the approaches to discovering the truth, interpreting it, and even in simply the process itself. There's beauty as well in how the information is conveyed, represented, taught, talked about, joked about. Science is fundamentally a creative and artistic process, and just like art, science can be easily appreciated by most people if it's packaged the right way.
However, just like art, there are also many things that are totally unapproachable except for the initiated. Can a layperson experience the feeling of playing a difficult piece on the guitar? That type of appreciation requires a specific technical ability. Science of course has many facets that are similarly difficult to appreciate.
Speaking of beauty, have you heard of Perfect Fourths tuning? You may find it interesting.
I had to pause Brady just to say, this video's on screen text is fantastic. You are the best!
I play videos with Proffesor Ed on my phone as I sleep. His voice is like a warm blanket snuggling me to sleep. Plus, I swear I wake up each morning just a little bit smarter.
I do the exact same thing
@@RedXFitness there's dozens of us!
Something which I find cool is that maybe in the future Ed Copeland is one of those big shot physicists/mathematicians like Einstein or Pythagoras. And you can look at him explain things about in a simple way on the old ancient youtube library. Exploring these old 1080p videos with these horribly low bitrates and they're not even shot in VR.
And you get a sense of how mankind was in certain ways the same despite of how primitive their technology was.
The idea is just amusing.
So, what happens if a string passes the event horizon of a black hole? Is it like a kid eating spaghetti?
Well it will be much faster maybe :)
The string tension will probably break it.
I do know one interpretation suggests a time machine would be formed.
@Xavier: Which seems like further evidence that such strings don't exist.
Yes but the spaghetti becomes spaghettified.
What he explains seems so out of reality to me that it almost feels like I'm watching a drug addict going into a mad hysteria or something.. xD
ed's description at the end about how he would feel if strings didnt exist is just so amazing - we need more people like this. taking chances etc giving things a try. and if everyone took chances, not everyone would be right but its not about individual achievement its about humanity's achievement as a whole. so glad there are people who havent given up on string theory!
I've gotten to the point where there's too much good TH-cam to watch -- and then I stumble on a video like this.
Providing such a long, deep dive for the layman is incredible, Brady and Ed. I think this is some of your best work that I've seen.
Love the explanation but the text was distracting. I wouldn't mind if they were animations supporting what the professor was explaining though. In fact animations would supplement the video.
Ed Copeland is simply amazing. I can listen to him for hours... Great, great video again Brady!!
I really appreciate your work and the professors willingness to talk about these subjects in a way that we can grasp the general idea. This is priceless for humanity!
diogo canina do you actually learn? So much info.
Loving the HD and the text format!
Would love a follow up on these videos with Ed!
Ed is such an amazing person. I like his competence, his voice, that he is always smiling in enthusiasm and humility, how he can explain stuff, and that he blushes sometimes (note the red ears towards the end of the video). Such a brilliant and likeable person.
Most of science is failure, but it's on those failures that success is built.
+ForeverOfTheStars All models are wrong; some models are useful.
2:22 "They're strings" Yep, this I can understand. :P
Loved the longer video format, more like this would be great!
Oh Please - more like this! Seriously - far more interesting to hear about the more advanced concepts - most of us are geeks and nerds, so we can follow. Loved the in depth explanation, I definitely see why all the enthusiasm to detect the defects now.
Ed seems like an amiable, charming fellow, happey for him winning the prize. Evan if no full comprehension of the advanced physics theories he speaks of, still enjoy the videos he is in.
A half hour Sixty Symbols video... Christmas has come early!
University of Nottingham must be a great place to work! Every single person there seems so pleasant, genuine and knowledgeable.
Congratulation on getting the medal. Fantastic video I really appreciate the time and effort that has put in making this. I personally think that the result will end up being negative. However I love the work you are doing and I really do hope I am proven wrong.
Great video Brady! You should let the other professors "off the leash" some time!!
I love his answer to "you're making it up, aren't you' ! :D
Everything about this video is genius. Including the fullscreen quotes.
I love the length of this episode! I can watch it while I am eating dinner :)
I know it is not for everyone, but I love the longer videos that allow Dr. Copeland to go into slightly more detail on the subject. Keep them coming!
The way Ed talks is extremely soothing and really makes you understand what he's saying or explaining.
Some scientists/physicists speak in a rather smug or over confident way that is almost disengaging when they are trying to explain a point. Ed is the complete opposite and I could sit and listen to him explain anything for hours.
I love whenever professor Copeland talks about what he's passionate or excited about, he gets a huge grin on his face, even if I don't fully comprehend what it is.
This one's going to take a couple of views to really sink in.
Congrats to Dr. Copeland for that medal!
These longer explanations are great Brady , let the profs off the leash a bit more!
Prof. Copeland is such a joy to listen to. All of his videos exude a passion for physics that is genuinely contagious.
I could spend hours listening to Ed talk
Sir I only wish I could reach even 1% of your accolade! You totally rock! Congratulations!!
I actually lol'd at "THEY'RE STRINGS"
Phibonacci 1618 your name is brilliant
The great thing about you guys is-you show the the original papers which helped me cite them in my work.
I really enjoyed this format. It's just such a Joy listening to Prof. Copeland. It would be great if there were more videos like this, with the other professors as well.
Professor Ed Copeland is my favorite professor on this channel.
Fantastic clarity of thought and expression!
Professor Copeland is my favorite. He just has a knack of describing things and making them sound interesting. Congrats on the medal!
Hi Brady! I would just like you to know I loved the text questions and here is why: Sometimes, or quite often, it seems like your own volume is somewhat lower than the people you are interviewing. This sometimes makes it difficult to hear exactly what the question was. With text there can be little doubt.
Also it's always nice to have a more or less uninterrupted torrent of science from Prof. Copeland.
Aliens flying by:
Oh look the humans finally started kindergarten
You should do more of those, I like the format. 30 mins is just about right.
some quality material right there ! things are called with their names and the fact that there are doubts about them and passion about them gives me hope that we eventually figure this out ! It is nice to see scientists like professor Copeland walking us through cosmology and terms ! Just by watching this video one must gain some intelligence , getting to know what is out there is at the very least incredible and interesting !
The best half an hour ever. Will wait for next series and definitely will see it again. Thnx Brady, massively brilliant job.
Nice and smooth explanation Prof. Ed. Mesmerized by your voice and again..again I just want to listen your speech.
and thanks to Bro Brady posted this video.
from Malaysia.
This interview was great. I look forward to the next two.
I observed a face transition from :| to :D when you got the medal. Congrats!
I went to Nottingham (Russian Studies.... Oh dear), and I'm now very proud. Numberphile, Computerphile, and Sixty Symbols are all great educational tools for 'interested people' (in the spirit of my favourite place, the British Museum). Well done, and congratulations from one of many alumni. Nice!
Really good to hear Dr Copeland go into some detail. I would love to see more of these deeper expositions on Sixty Symbols
Fantastic video Brady! keep em long, this is packed with some great stuff
15:40 'You're just making this stuff up aren't you?' So brilliant, and the way Ed just ignores it is as brilliant.
Reminds me of some guy named Ockham who just made up a razor out of thin air. But he never proved that it existed.
My respect to the Prof.
It takes all my knowledge to keep up with him, and these theories I have never heard of. I am SO looking forward to the other 2 videos.
Please more LONG videos (like this one)!!
he needs to be in a podcast, his talks are mesmerising
that 'stash though brady...
After watching this numerous times followed by me crying myself to sleep over my brain's inability to fully understand this concept, I think that I'll be quite ready for one of the next parts now :)
Congratulations on winning the medal. :)
Brady, Ed.. keep doin' whatcha doin'... you guys produce amazing works.
I love professor Ed Copeland ...this is the best video explaining cosmic strings out there! and it is a mesmerizing watch worth watching a time or two extra, then revisited later.
Awesome. Thanks for the long video.
Channels like these are really great. Very grateful to be a subscriber. :)
There should be a Professor Copeland radio station and website. I could listen to him forever, morning, noon and night. Thank you for the in depth video. I am grateful for your time. I do not understand cosmic superstrings but what I do understand is your dedication, focus and hard work that defines physics to me.
That was awesome! Can't wait for the other two!
FLOP AROUND! best battle cry, ever. Love the captions. Congrats Professor Copeland.
Congratulations Professor Copeland. Amazing achievement.
Imagine my surprise and delight at seeing such a nice long video after reasonably long break :) Thankyou sixty symbols.
great video.
I love to listen to Ed! More of these kind of videos!
loved this type of video, looking forward to the others!
as usual great video. very much looking forward to the other two
Love your channel and Professor Copeland's videos. Just started checking them out and am fascinated. Not a science person but these videos help me to understand. Thank you!
What a fantastic video, this is the kind of physics that really gets me all fired up, wow !
One of the best sixty symbols videos so far and it reminds me of Stephen Baxter's novel "Ring"
2ot
Great video.
Accompanied with full-screen text saying "GREAT VIDEO.".
Brady: love your work and listening to Dr. Copeland. These cut-aways to the block letters on a black screen are, however a little jarring.
This is maybe the first sixty symbols video I didn't understand. Maybe I'll look it again later or on another day. :)
can't wait for the next two videos!!!
I love this video so much. What a treat!
Congradulations, Ed! :D you deserve that medal!
Fantastic. I really enjoyed listening to this.
I've watched this multiple times and Im still having trouble comprehending this :/
What a neat idea to ponder. Thank you for this gem.
Super stoked for the Professor!!! Congratulations to him for the award. I love these long ideas!!!
His explanation is fabulous. Enjoyed it.
And I just gotta say to Ed, it is awesome you taking up for Tom Kibble! ESPECIALLY since Tom came up with the Higgs mechanism.
Awesome interview!
Awesome video, Brady.
Congrats Ed! Thanks for the videos. Keep up the great work.
I would love to sit & talk with him about these subjects. He explains it so I can grasp the ideas. I can't do the maths but the ideas are understandable.
I am VERY happy that I was born and raised into having an imagination that is plastic enough to understand these concepts :)
This video made my day. Thank you Brady and Professor Ed Copeland. Wow. :)
Fantastically fascinating!
Awesome video. Though I do think the abundance of random full screen quotes is a bit unnecessary.
Yes. Annoying full screen quotes are annoying…
_We apologise for the full screen quotes. Those responsible have been sacked._
I don't know, they help keep me focused. I'd actually prefer more illustrations.
I agree with Dennis. They're not random, they're emphasising specific phrases, and occur simultaneously.
I second (or whatever count it's up to) the opinion that the full screen quotes are unnecessary.
