For someone who never did science in school you are a godsend.🎉.. the pacing... the tone of your voice ...the simplicity of the imagery you're using to help us establish thesebawesome facts in our minds creatively is fantastic!!! I am so grateful for your patience and wisdom🌟🌞🕯

I like how a seemingly simple question turns into “where did that energy come from before the photon even existed?” That rabbit hole goes surprisingly deep once you start thinking about atoms, fields, and energy conservation.

Perhaps the best physics lecture - the content, the pace of narration, the logical sequence of concepts, everything made my time spent more than it's worth! Thanks🙏 million

Wonderful video! Beautiful explanation. Well said, in a language that anyone can comprehend and get immersed in.I have 1 question- could the electromagnetic field also borrow vacuum energy?

Thanks for the explanation, especially about the energy levels of the electron turning into a photon. A really needed doco is on the way that CO2 and its vibrational states operate because we are trapped in a vicious cycle with them, re-fueling the carbon in the atmosphere to create more and more CO2, which even in negligible amounts is tremendously powerful. I might add it took a couple of hundred million years for the planet to bury much of the carbon, reducing the heat problem, and about 200 years to send it all back into the air to create more CO2.
