it's finally here... Pop Science, a video essay.

Popular Science is science for the masses. The stock in trade is nifty insights and suprising facts, conclusions that amaze and astound. Here's my TED talk about it. It's simple, it's neat, and hopefully it's backed by science.

NOTE: Youtube has a limit to the length of the description, and so I’ve been forced to put my source page above: my apologies for the inconvenience.

EDIT: To those of you who wondered in the comments, yes, this was the video planned before all the Kurzgesagt in a nutshell stuff blew up.

EDIT 2: I received a kind comment on 4/22 letting me know that I have used a VOX graph at 12:32 without proper attribution in the video. That was an oversight during my editing process, and I wanted to correct this. That graph is sourced from here:
https://www.vox.com/2015/3/23/8264355... and the study it is building off of can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
