This video was inspired by my Veritasium video - your mass is NOT from the Higgs Boson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztc6QPNUqls

The point in that video is that the Higgs mechanism provides mass to fundamental particles but that mass is much less than the mass of the conglomerate particles they make up. This video was an effort to disentangle the different aspects and types of mass. Thanks to Sean Carroll for taking the time to discuss this with me.

How do magnets work? Why do they attract and repel at long distances? Is it magic? No... it's quantum mechanics, and a bit more, as we explain in this, the longest MinutePhysics video ever.

What's In A Candle Flame?

Is a flame really a plasma? Well it depends on your definition of plasma, but there are certainly ions in a flame, formed as molecules collide with each other at high speed, sometimes knocking electrons off of their atoms.

Special thanks to the Palais de la Decouverte for helping me perform this experiment. Using tens of thousands of volts on two metal plates, we created a strong electric field around the plasma. This pulled positive ions in one direction and negative ions in the other direction elongating the flame horizontally and causing it to flicker like a "papillon" (butterfly). Then we showed that much longer sparks can be made through the flame than through air since the ions increase the conductivity.

Science YouTubers - Sixty Symbols

Basic Saucer Physics (a video response)

by Zogg from Betelgeuse 90,919 views

This is not part of the actual course about humans.
It's rather a video response to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0SZZTBQmEs, an earthling video about the behaviour of a spinning disk. If you are an alien travelling around in a spinning disk, this might interest you.
