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

That's why I only watch chemistry channels. Physics channels are destined to filled with r-slurs that go "muh quantum muh aliens muh black holes" etc.
BTW is there good channels about other less popular stem fields such as civil engineering (no Scott Adams or whoever that guy is called please).

Practical engineering. I'm a civil engineer and that channel is great explaining the basics, especially when it comes to hydrology, he also had a good video recently explaining construction machinery.
You mean Joe Scott? His channel is full of shit.

Thanks for the advice btw

chemistry is interesting as frick and since it's mostly practical you don't get the wannabe philosophers

And unironically chemists know quantum mechanics much better than those who love to talk about that 24/7.

better than normies for sure, but unless you're a computational chemist you don't delve too deep into it
