    Great information. I remember buying a Gyroscope, as a kid, and was intrigued in how it worked. Thank you very much! 🙂

    “The James Webb telescope is going to help us find the first galaxies”… 🤣 maybe James Webb telescope has been delayed before Edwin Hubble was born 😔

      CNET doesn’t seem to be the right spot as a source of science knowledge. Maybe for an average American.

    It’s amazing that they changed the Title and the thumbnail of the video overnight 😄

    • Potato Face

      September 13, 2020 at 11:26 am

      Its all based on analytics every big channel does this. If a video isn’t hitting view targets they’ll change thumbnail and title to draw us in. Its a complicated art to get the combination right

    A lot of background and hard work during Covid shelter in place. Very educational. A must watch for all and especially for lovers of science, which should be all of us. It should encourage students to study science and physics in particular. Great job as always from the best presenter on CNET.
