Dramacels, !spacechads, what are some of the most ludicrous, possibly wrongful and reddity pop sci videos/channels you've come across?
My thumbnail example is a Kursgesagt video about Terraforming Venus.
I know they try to make it as “scientifically sound” as possible, but the whole idea sooooo incredibly far-fetched, it involves building giant planet size mirrors to cover sunlight from Venus so the CO2 in the atmosphere freezes, followed by harvesting nitrogen from Titan and removing all the frozen CO2. Not to mention water from Europan ice and another giant mirror to provide day/night cycles (as Venus is almost tidally locked).
Another is their Dyson sphere video
Which includes disassembling Mercury
They also have these pop physics videos where they try to convey some “deep” philosophical ideas like this one.
by the way, what do physic-cels here think of this concept, is this even taken seriously?
@Geralt_of_Uganda I remember you made a thread on them once

As a general rule some dude in a basement speaking to a shitty camera will impart more knowledge on you than any of those sleek high production pop science channels, they constantly veer into weird and vapid mix of theory with philosophy that amounts to nothing.
