- Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
Electromagnetic force down, three more forces to go! Which one is next? Why it's the strong nuclear force, famous for keeping atomic nuclei together. What kind of particles will be involved in this quantum field theory, which is called quantum chromodynamics? Let's find out.

5 min - The Diffusion Equation Part 1: Separation of Variables
After looking at the Laplace equation and the wave equation, it's time to move on to the diffusion equation. This is a parabolic partial differential equation, and it describes systems that tend to spread out over time. This has tons of practical application, so let's get into it!

9 min - Quantum Mechanics and the Schrödinger Equation
Okay, it's time to dig into quantum mechanics! Don't worry, we won't get into the math just yet, for now we just want to understand what the math represents, and come away with a new and improved view of the electron as both a circular standing wave and a cloud of probability density. Spooky! Let's introduce the Schrödinger equation!

9 min - Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
In our study of physics, we have become aware of four forces, and the fields that mediate them. Once we got deep into quantum theory, we started to realize that these forces are not mediated by fields at all, but rather by quanta. That's why it's called quantum theory, we are showing how particles, or quanta, run the whole show. The electromagnetic force was the first one to get a facelift, so let's check out how these quantum field theories work by looking at quantum electrodynamics!

7 min - Power Series Solutions Part 2: Frobenius Method
We just learned how to solve differential equations using power series. However the simpler approached we used assumed that all the functions involved are infinitely differentiable at the point we are expanding about. This will not always be the case, and a common workaround in situations where the previous approach does not work is called the Frobenius method. Let's see how this works now!

11 min - Reacting to Quantum Mystic "Higher Frequency" Self-Help Rubbish
Some jerk named Robert Edward Grant spewed a bunch of quantum mysticism crap about "moving into higher frequencies", which is literally meaningless, and some idiotic channel named Video Advice made a garbage animation to go along with it. What resulted was 15-minutes of nausea-inducing, transparently pseudoscientific self-help snake oil. So let's make fun of it for an hour.

Click here: https://boot.dev/?promo=PROFESSORDAVE and use my code PROFESSORDAVE to get 25% off your first year of boot.dev.
Remember when Dr. Mike took on the 20 anti-vaxxers in the Jubilee thing? I didn't watch it at the time, so I decided to react to it. If you saw it but want my commentary, watch this. If you didn't see it and would like to but only while someone educated calls out huge mountains of stupid in real time, thus articulating your frustrated inner monologue even better than you could, also watch this.

3 hr 17 min - General Relativity: The Curvature of Spacetime
Relativity comes in different flavors, as it happens. We spent some time looking at Einstein's special relativity, so now it's time for the general variety. This is all about the geometry of spacetime, which curves around massive objects. This was a huge update on our understanding of gravity, so get on board!

About Professor Dave Explains
From the publisher's feed
Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic…
chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them.
