Professor Dave Explains

Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.

I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.

This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them. Happy learning!

    Reacting to Quantum Mystic "Higher Frequency" Self-Help Rubbish

    Some jerk named Robert Edward Grant spewed a bunch of quantum mysticism crap about "moving into higher frequencies", which is literally meaningless, and some idiotic channel named Video Advice made a garbage animation to go along with it. What resulted was 15-minutes of nausea-inducing, transparently pseudoscientific self-help snake oil. So let's make fun of it for an hour.

    Reacting to Dr. Mike and the Anti-Vaxxers

Remember when Dr. Mike took on the 20 anti-vaxxers in the Jubilee thing? I didn't watch it at the time, so I decided to react to it. If you saw it but want my commentary, watch this. If you didn't see it and would like to but only while someone educated calls out huge mountains of stupid in real time, thus articulating your frustrated inner monologue even better than you could, also watch this.

    General Relativity: The Curvature of Spacetime

    Relativity comes in different flavors, as it happens. We spent some time looking at Einstein's special relativity, so now it's time for the general variety. This is all about the geometry of spacetime, which curves around massive objects. This was a huge update on our understanding of gravity, so get on board!

    The Double-Slit Experiment

    The double-slit experiment is a classic experiment that is frequently referred to when describing quantum phenomena, so we definitely have to go over it a little bit. What happens when you pass a beam of light through a screen with two slits? What about when you send electrons through there? Or just one electron? It's crazy stuff! Check it out.

    Dunking on Chris Langan With Grayson

    Grayson Hawk is another excellent science communicator and debunker who tackles many of the same charlatans that I do. If you enjoyed my debunk of the delusional fraud Chris Langan and wanted me to go through the much longer video on Curt Jaimungal's channel, then just watch me and Grayson make fun of select clips from that video. Oh, we make fun of James Tour as well. It's a good time!

    Ancient Rome Part 3: The Later Empire (250 – 500 CE)

    After the crisis of the third century, the later Roman Empire took shape. This period involved many different leaders, great political change, and the eventual splintering of the empire into Western and Eastern halves, the former of which would eventually dissolve, and the latter of which would become the Byzantine empire.

    Special Relativity Part 4: Mass-Energy Equivalence or E = mc²

    Everyone and their mom knows about E = mc^2, it's the most famous equation in science, and there are plenty of posters you can buy for your dorm room with Einstein's face and this equation floating mysteriously around his head. But what does it mean? You'd better know if you're gonna get that poster! What if that cute boy or girl from class comes over and asks you about it and you don't know what you're talking about? That will be super embarrassing. You'd better watch this.

    Quantization of Energy Part 2: Photons, Electrons, and Wave-Particle Duality

    So Max Planck kicked things off, but how does the story of modern physics continue? With none other than your favorite scientist and mine, Albert Einstein! He did more than just stick his tongue out and have crazy hair. He elucidated the nature of the photoelectric effect back while working as a patent clerk in Switzerland.

    Basic Euclidean Geometry: Points, Lines, and Planes

A little bit later, a fellow named Euclid built upon the work of old Pythag, and turned geometry more or less into what we learn in school today. Pretty impressive stuff!

    Complex Numbers: Operations, Complex Conjugates, and the Linear Factorization Theorem

    In getting through algebra, we never talked about complex numbers, but they are important so let's discuss them now! These are numbers with a real component and an imaginary component, so we first have to understand what i means, in a mathematical context. It's the square root of negative one. Then we need to learn how to do arithmetic with these expressions, and finally we can understand how we get answers in this form when using the quadratic formula but with a negative discriminant.

    Individual Characteristics of Fingerprints

    Now we have the basic types of fingerprint patterns down. But is that enough? Far from it.

    Pierre Kory: The Ivermectin Fraud Whose Lies Killed Thousands

    After my live vaccine debate with Steve Kirsch and Pierre Kory, I promised to even further expose them both with their own videos. With Steve already covered, let's further expose Pierre Kory. This is the jerk that is responsible for the ivermectin craze during the pandemic. He claimed it was a miracle drug that would both cure and prevent COVID. Amazing! Except it did neither of those things. At all. But thousands of people believed him, some overdosed and died from ivermectin, and thousands of people delayed legitimate care waiting for ivermectin in the mail only for their condition to worsen such that when they got to the hospital, it was too late for doctors to help them and they died. Pierre Kory is responsible for thousands of deaths, so let's rake him over the coals until everyone knows what a worthless fraud he is.

    Ashton Forbes Is a Grifting Fraud

    Use code professordave at https://incogni.com/professordave to get an exclusive 60% off. Did you know that the government has super secret negative energy plasma orb technology that can make wormholes and teleport huge objects like planes to other galaxies? No? That's because they don't, and it's an insanely idiotic thing to suggest. But grifting frauds like Ashton Forbes suggest precisely this in order to gain a following of conspiratorial simpletons so that he can then attempt to sell them "free energy devices" that don't exist for $50,000 a pop. This scam is very stupid, this scammer is very stupid, so let's mock him together as he tries to use physics terminology he doesn't understand to convince people he knows what he's talking about, shall we?
