Part 2 in our quantum reality series is out now: youtu.be/-_8apfiiTR4. I talk to Simon Saunders, Antony Valentini & Angelo Bassi to explore 3 interpretations of QM – many worlds, pilot wave & objective collapse. Here’s a clip where I try to explain decoherence.

They’re actually drawn by a young artist friend of my producer’s in India. There are always copyright issues with photos of famous people so we’re just erring on safety.

Just released another new film on our new YouTube channel: youtu.be/sivQ-jbZ2oM. It’s the first in a 3-parter on quantum mechanics. In this first one I look at the early observations that shook our understanding of physics.

My second YouTube video is out now! In this one I'm looking inwards in an attempt to unbaffle my own brain. I talk to @ForresterGilly and Mike Gazzaniga about the two hemispheres of the brain, and how brain asymmetry evolved. Watch here: youtu.be/ybuhqtDVO_A

Time travel to the future is possible if we slow time down. This is called time dilation and it's a real thing. Matthew McConaughey does it in Interstellar. I discuss the trickier time travel to the past on my new YouTube channel. See: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM

My new YouTube channel, "Unbaffled", is here. It's where I'll be exploring the biggest ideas in science. Our founding principle is that science doesn’t have to be baffling. The first video (on time travel) is here: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM Do subscribe, like, etc

Nope. This is all new content. Other stuff of mine already on YouTube wasn't put up by me and just sort of gets repackaged without my permission. The videos here are all new and bespoke.
