If any teachers are watching this, what makes this video particularly great is that it talks about the theory as an ongoing thing we're working on. Every school class I had would make some nod to "scientists are still out there working on things" but then they'd teach a bunch of stuff that's been outdated for years or even decades like it was set in stone and never actually bring up that part, or that a ton of it is just assumed. Kids naturally love to learn because they live in a world of unknowns so it's a valuable skill. But if you sit them down and give them the impression that everything is solved and then give them exercises that already have answers, they learn that learning is useless because someone else already figured out everything they might need, you're telling them the cognitive behaviors to think about things they don't yet have a grasp on are less useful, and the ones for memorizing and repeating are the most useful. That's a really dangerous cycle, and it's apparent in the fact that so many people stop learning as soon as they can get to comfortable.

Rarely do I comment on a video to talk about how well made it is. But this time I feel compelled to do so. This was an absolutely excellent video, considering how well it's been put together so that the information remains comprehensible and doesn't confuse me. Not only that, the infographics used and the choice of words was also top notch. Amazing video overall.

This is the first description of the small, curled up dimensions predicted by superstring theory that actually allowed me to have some kind of understanding of that's actually supposed to mean, and particularly why they seem to only be relevant at extremely small scales. Understanding that dimensions are essentially just different directions, different degrees of freedom, made it really hard to intuit how they could be smaller, or curved, compared to the familiar ones without that specific visualization.

This was very informative. I now can say I at least understand the fundamentals of string theory, which despite the large number of times I've encountered the theory before, this is the first lucid and comprehensive explanation that includes a sensibly selected set of definitions at the beginning to put the entire theory in context. Congratulations. Extremely well done. Thank you!

I watched this video about a month or so ago. Since then it’s been discovered that neutrinos oscillate between states and its theorized that a 4th state, known as a sterile neutrino, could be a gateway particle to understanding how dark matter works. It immediately made me think of the sections of this video that goes into the 10 dimensional universe part of string theory and I got chills when you mentioned at around 12:40 that superstring theory could also predict the existence of other particles that we can’t see because they reside within higher dimensions.

SiecnceClic exists first in French. I was like smashed the first time I discovered the channel and was waiting impatiently new videos. It's very rare to see such pedagogical and easy to understand popularization videos. Later when Alessandro Roussel decided to make an English version of his channel, I was also very pleased to notice the quality of Eglish narratives. Thanks to all the team that make this happen. 🤝

Hope you like the video! For those who might worry, I will also try to make a video about loop quantum gravity as well as other approaches to quantum gravity ;) To tackle this complex subject I was aided by Thomas Harvey, who is doing a PhD on string phenomenology, and who helped me a lot throughout the whole process of creating this video. Thomas was recently interviewed in a video by Simon Clark about quantum field theory : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDI9WTvSUwI I was also helped by Antoine Bourget, who is a researcher in theoretical physics, and who corrected some technical details in the script. For those who understand French you can check out his great YouTubechannel "Scientia Egregia" : www.youtube.com/channel/UCQFaJoQu0TP7je5HchCNjHA
