Should be fun. First episode is about the Hubble Telescope.

Cool. After watching the video it might be a bit too technical for a larger (Kurzgesagt sized) audience. But hopefully wrong on that.

 

[Slayven]

That was fun

I'm so in.

Nice. Own all his books and love his strips, but didn't know about this.

This interests me

Love What If and this concept, but I hope he slows it down a bit in the future. The editing is a bit too rapid fire for any of the visual jokes to land.

Man, reading this I expected him to bust out some mathematics like in the books. By and large felt like it was fairly non-technical.

Yeah but you have to factor in the average YouTube viewer in mind.

Yeah, definitely. Breath for a second.

It is kind of wild that Randall Munroe didn't do this sooner. I love it.

Not really the medium for all that, this is a nice pace for the content delivered

New one. I like how quick these are though this one felt a lot less hard science and a lot more relatable science.

New one just dropped. It's a fun watch for a question that's been answered to death.

I remember that one from the first What If book and it's still hilarious where he takes the question.

 

[Bengraven]

Wow, I didn't know about this and I loved that part of his book so I'll check this out.
