Here we learn how the Standard Model of Physics was tested, and how the existence of fusion in the core of the Sun was actually determined. This led to two Nobel Prizes, and a lot of dry-cleaning fluid down a deep, deep hole. This is part of my intro Astronomy class taught at Willam Paterson University and CUNY Hunter.

Thanks, Dr/Prof /Mage Kendall! I still repeatedly listen to your lectures from 5yrs ago. Still the best 🙏

You really nailed the description with: "This series will feed and water your inner 6-year-old, and inspire you with wonder. Every kid loved dinosaurs and planets. Now you get to go back and be that kid again." And reading that you're a master of clown and mask theatre is a delightful surprise! That's some Easter egg in a STEM CV!

As a non-specialist, your lecture clarified a lot of things for me! Thank you for your work.

Jason Kendall was an all-star Catcher for the Pirates back in the late 90's.

37:34 That was awesome. The explanations were great
-
Thoroughly brilliant lecture Mr. Kendall. The thumbnail at 1AU explanation is mind boggling and as an example of the power of gravitational contraction, superb.
-
I love your content ❤. Thanks for your relentless efforts to educate the public and making scientific facts available to all. Please keep up the great work.
-
Your stuff is the best my man, keep it coming.

I've been wanting to write a blues song about neutrinos. "I must be a neutrino baby... cause you don't seem to notice when I pass through"
-
Thank you so much for making these videos. I appreciate what you do
-
Excellent lecture. Thank you so much :)
-
Love your vids , keep them coming thanks 🙏
-
Thanks Dr Kendall ❤

Hello, Dr. Kendall. I enjoy your lectures a lot. In depth, yet accessible for non-specialists. And by a talented speaker who is clearly passionate about the subject. Thank you very much! If I might ask a question about Cherenkov radiation, It puzzles me how nature knows the refraction index for every material and able to act as a traffic police. What if we created a novel material that had never existed before, how would nature be able to predict the refraction index for it and access whether the speed of a particle is higher or lower at any given point of time?

Thank you very much professor, very interesting, subscribed.
-
What a great historical overview and explanation.
-
Thanks for the history, very interesting by itself.
-
Light was STOPPED! in an experiment with condensed cesium. Wouldn't this be a better candidate for neutrino capture?
-
Neutrinos can have a lots of energy, the biggest that was detected in Japan was probably 350 EV ish. I was hoping to know how such energetic neutrinos are formed. The biggest caught in the Antarctic was like a base ball, hitting the mesh.

My Dr helped build BOREXINO back in the day. Great video!
