MinutePhysics (styled without a space) is an educational YouTube channel created by Henry Reich. The channel's videos include time-lapsed drawing[2] to explain physics-related topics in approximately one minute.[3] As of November 2017, the channel has over 4 million subscribers.

Videos from MinutePhysics have been featured on PBS NewsHour,[4] Huffington Post,[5][6] NBC,[7] and Gizmodo.[8] MinutePhysics is also a channel that is able to be viewed through YouTube EDU.

Videos

The most popular MinutePhysics video, with over 11 million views, is the one explaining the consequences when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Another popular MinutePhysics video features Reich explaining why pink is not actually a color.[9] Reich has also uploaded a series of three videos explaining the Higgs Boson.[5][6][7]

Collaborations

MinutePhysics has collaborated with Vsauce,[10] as well as the director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Neil Turok, Smarter Every Day.[11] MinutePhysics has also made two videos which were narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson [12][13]and one video narrated by Tom Scott.[14] The channel also collaborated with physicist Sean M. Carroll in a five-part video series on time and entropy.

Podcast

MinutePhysics is also available to download as a podcast on iTunes.[15]

Other channels

In October 2011, Reich started a second channel entitled MinuteEarth presenting videos in a similar style to his MinutePhysics videos regarding the physical properties and phenomena that make up and occur on Earth.[16]
