Physics teaching was my career. When I see someone who is adept at explaining physics topics, I take notice. If that person does so with a style that is unique, I am even more interested. Henry Reich, creator of Minute Physics, is such a person. According to Henry...
Simply put: cool physics and other sweet science.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
~Rutherford via Einstein? (wikiquote)
Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

All in a minute? Well, not quite. But, the attempt is to do so in a minute. The Higgs Boson physics needed three separate parts. Browse his YouTube channel linked above to see his episodes. You can subscribe to his channel to receive email notices of new episodes.
The Minute Physics episode for February 7 was Henry's list of his choices for the BEST Science Online sites. That video is provided below. It is a rapid fire compilation of nearly 15 web sites and 12 YouTube channels. You can't take notes fast enough to keep up even if you drink 10 cups of strong coffee first. Fortunately, he proved the links to all of the mentioned sites on the YouTube page. I took the liberty to place the list below the squiggle exactly as he listed them. Either bookmark or Hotlist this diary so you can refer back to look up your favorites.
