#2I'm a big fan of AlphaPhoenix's content. He deserves to be in the big leagues of science YouTubers with SmarterEveryDay, Veritasium, Mark Rober and 3B1B.

I’m not a fan of the “big leagues” of science YouTube, many seem to have been tainted by the attention algorithm game.

#4I wonder if the results of this experiment would be the same with alternating current?

#5That Veritasium video is one of the most controversial educational videos I've seen. I think one of the issues with it is that it's a bit pedantic, but also ignores other issues, that invites other people to be pedantic about it.

#6Anyone care to give us a Too Long; Didn't View?

Don’t forget Applied Science!

True. It’s one of only a handful of YT videos I’ve ever left a comment on. In summary, just because something is “wrong” at one scale doesn’t invalidate useful models and workaday theorems at another.
Also, for such a pedantic video his field lines were wrong.

#9Fun to introduce general population to some interesting physics but please, don't call it "settling physics debate".
There is NO debate. Not physics debate, not even practical debate because that knowledge is in practical everyday use.
We know signals in wires take time to propagate and I have to take this into account when I design my circuits. Things like matching lengths of traces (especially differential pairs) so that critical signals take same time to propagate or matching length of trace and return to improve signal integrity are staple for anybody that is working on anything over couple hundred megahertz.
All of this only because it takes time for signal to actually travel through the length of the wire.
