Professor Dave Explains

Attention! This video about molecular orbitals is much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2k61JMk71M

Alright, let's be real. Nobody understands molecular orbitals when they first take chemistry. You just pretend you do, and then in your next course you learn them a little better. And then a little better than that. And five years later you sort of understand them. So don't get discouraged! Just watch this for a head start and do your best.

The internet is ablaze with talk of the recent hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship. Three people have died. Is this the next global pandemic? Are the dirty liberal elites about to lock us down and shove masks on our faces again? No, and no. But let's listen to virologist Marion Koopmans explain why.

If a system is at equilibrium, and we do something to it, it will shift in a particular way. It is quite easy to predict the behavior of equilibria if we know about Le Chatelier's principle and three simple situations!

Hey remember when Eric Weinstein tangled with Sean Carroll on the Piers Morgan program? And how humiliating it was for Eric, since Sean politely let him have it about how Geometric Unity is absolutely nothing? That was good times. Well there have been some developments since then. First, Eric has finally started publicly talking shit about me. Second, a physicist named Christian Ferko reached out to me with a very interesting anecdote regarding an encounter he had with a drunken Eric Weinstein, which ties into a claim he made while on Piers Morgan. He tells the story in this video, and then we keep him around to dunk on Geometric Unity some more. Man, Eric is really unraveling, isn't he? It's really funny. Let's all point and laugh.

Possessive adjectives and pronouns describe ownership, and in Latin they must agree in case, gender, and number with the object that is possessed, not with the possessor. This might take some getting used to, but let's get a closer look!

Many chemical reactions don't just go one way, they go forwards and backwards. Once there is balance between the two, this is an equilibrium. And we need to be able to predict how much stuff there will be at equilibrium! Get ready to bust out those ICE boxes, folks.

Now that we've learned about molecules and cells and the simplest forms of life, we are ready to understand how all of life on earth evolved from a single common ancestor. Given our newfound knowledge about the chromosomal theory of inheritance, combined with the theory of natural selection, which is how evolution propagates, we will see how our understanding of biology transformed in the 19th century, thanks to the work of Charles Darwin, and other contemporaries. There are those who say that evolution is "just a theory", but beyond the fact that this stems from a misunderstanding of what the word "theory" means in science, it also has to do with rampant misconceptions about what this model states. So let's learn the basics regarding evolution by natural selection!

It's time to learn a little more about a chemical reaction. How do molecules have to be arranged and how much energy do they have to collide with? What's a catalyst? Lots of great tidbits in this one.
