  • Introduction to the Weak Interaction

    After discussing how QED governs the electromagnetic force, and QCD governs the strong nuclear force, we are ready to move on to the weak nuclear force, or the weak interaction. This is mediated by W and Z bosons, and is responsible for processes like beta decay and nuclear fusion. Let's see how this phenomenon is explained by the Standard Model.

  • Graphing Conic Sections Part 1: Circles

    We've graphed tons of lines, but now it's time to graph more complex figures. Conic sections, which are literally cross-sections of a cone, will be important to be able to graph. Let's learn what these conic sections are, and learn how to graph them one by one, starting with circles.

  • Meiosis, Gametes, and the Human Life Cycle

    We know that your body produces more cells through mitosis. But where did your very first cell come from? It can't have been mitosis, because mitosis needs a cell to start with. As it turns out, meiosis and subsequent fertilization are the culprits! Meiosis is another kind of cell division, but it is different from mitosis. How is it different, pray tell? Watch and find out!

  • Baiting Flat Earth Dave With AI Images (Artemis Bonus Episode!)

    Since everyone seemed to enjoy my recent video on flat earthers freaking out about the Artemis II mission, how about a little bonus episode? Right after posting that video, someone informed me that they had been baiting David Weiss, posing as a pilot who flew the vomit comet that allowed them to fake the Orion interior shots. And the dumbass bought it! He used AI-generated pictures and testimony in his recent content. Let's go over all the details and mock him some more, shall we?

  • The Pluperfect Indicative: Past Perfect Tense

    We just learned about the Perfect System, and how to form the present perfect tense. Let's move on the the second tense in this system, the pluperfect. This is used to describe actions that are more past than another action which is already past. How does that work exactly? Let's find out!

  • Special Second-Order Differential Equations: Cauchy-Euler, Nonlinear, and More

    We've covered the basics regarding second-order differential equations and their solutions, for both linear homogenous and nonhomogenous differential equations. Now let's look at some special second-order types, such as Cauchy-Euler, and nonlinear. These will be a bit trickier but they have some interesting applications so let's take a look!
