[@DavidSmyth666]

It took me quite a long time to really understand the significance of Kepler's laws but I feel like I'm appreciating them more and more the longer I do physics. The first thing you have to appreciate is that they were all derived empirically by Kepler, simply by looking at tables of numbers. This was before any classical mechanics was formalised and arguably before experimental science became a major thing. Given that, it's really quite remarkable that all three laws have some profound meaning. Kepler must have had an incredible intuition. The first law describes the orbits of planets in purely geometric terms. Historically, it was also important because competing models at the time modelled orbits as circular rather than eliptical, so this was a major discovery. It also somewhat anticipates energy methods in modern analytic mechanics, where people try to get information about a system from its integrals of motion, without having to solve the equations of motion exactly. Regarding the second law, Feynman had a good comment. A lot of people (including me for a long time) think Kepler 2 is kind of trivial since it's easy to show from integrating the two-body problem. However, as Feynman pointed out, it's really just a statement of the conservation of angular momentum (which obviously did not exist as a concept at the time of Kepler), which is in fact much more general than Newton's laws of motion and gravitation. The third law is perhaps the hardest to appreciate because it appears a bit arbitrary. The first time I understood its context was when I was reading Landau & Lifshitz vol. 1 in grad school. There they have a section on scaling and dimensionality and one of the examples is deriving Kepler's third law simply from seeing how the Lagrangian changes under rescaling. To emphasise this point, this is something you can do on the back of the envelope, without even writing down the equations of motion. The two ways of interpreting it then is, if you accept the inverse square law on theoretical considerations, then Kepler 3 drops out in a few lines. Alternatively, if you take Kepler 3 as an experimental observation, then it allows you to determine the power dependence of the law of gravitation. Again, to highlight Kepler's foresight, arguments from "power counting" in modern physics are usually the first thing you do when renormalising a field theory.

[@sash7048]

[@tachyon3.14]

My school is teaching Ohm’s law now and I simply can’t stop laughing seeing it in D tier

[@nHans]

I know, right? In high school, you solve a lot of problems using Ohm's Law. But later on-spoiler alert-you learn that it's applicable to only a small class of materials called Ohmic resistors-materials that obey Ohm's law. (Yeah, kinda circular definition.) When AC and semiconductors get introduced, life becomes orders of magnitude more complex. Oh, how I long for the simpler days of V = IR!

[@EnergiaRocket]

​@@nHans sounds like it comes straight out of The Devil's Dictionary, just like its definition of magnetism ;) MAGNET, n. Something acted upon by magnetism. MAGNETISM, n. Something acting upon a magnet. The two definitions immediately foregoing are condensed from the works of one thousand eminent scientists, who have illuminated the subject with a great white light, to the inexpressible advancement of human knowledge.

[@Eisommolos]

@@nHans Even if it gets a lot more complex and complicated, you still need Ohms law when working with AC or transistors... It's probably the most basic equation in electronical engineering

[@nHans]

​@@Eisommolos Not denying the importance, utility, or ubiquity of V=IR. But again: It's a property of a limited number of materials-an extremely useful property for us, no doubt. But it's not a universal law of nature. All the other equations on Andrew's list were laws of nature. To be sure, most of those were special cases. But they were not properties of specific materials. I agree with you that in AC, you can continue using Ohm's Law with complex quantities. And electronic circuits definitely contain lots of resistors-open up any electronic device and the PCB is chock full of them. And your mind immediately starts going BBROY... However, I disagree with you regarding transistors (and other valves or semiconductor devices, including diodes). V=IR is useful only when R (or Z) is constant under operating conditions. In fact, the whole point of electronics is in using components that don't have a constant R. You don't apply Ohm's Law to them. You use transistor parameters α and β, operating characteristics etc. BTW, on the very first day of my college electronics course, the professor summarized the difference between electrical and electronics engineering in exactly that way: In electronics, we use many components that _don't_ follow Ohm's Law. To be clear: Neither my professor nor I said that Ohm's Law is _never_ used in electronics-just that you can't apply it to every component. Electronics uses resistors, and resistors obey Ohm's Law. Period. I tutor high school students in science, particularly for competitive college entrance exams. I can't help thinking how (relatively) easy their electrical circuits are, compared to what they'll be challenged with in future electrical and electronics courses! However, even at the high school level, V=IR isn't enough to solve the problems they set for you. You also need P=VI, Kirchhoff's Laws etc. Unlike Ohm's Law, the latter two are universally true, and apply to all materials. We are lucky that the metals Ohm studied obeyed Ohm's law. It makes it easy to study electricity and to design useful electrical circuits. *But it's not a universal law of nature.* There are materials that don't follow a linear V:I relationship. It's more difficult to build circuits with them, but not impossible. And like I said, we are doing it. That's why I'm not in the least annoyed when Andrew ranked Ohm's Law a "D."

[@Eisommolos]

@@nHans I don't say that Ohms law is all powerful or something... It's a very simple and useful equation that is very important in electronics. I know that you can't apply it to every component, but in almost every circuit are resistors and even the most basic transistor circuit needs resistors to adjust Voltage. So you still use Ohms Law

I disagree with the ranking of F = ma (or F = dp/dt as Newton wrote it). While it could be considered "boring" in today's standards, this equation was a result of a huge leap in logic which may as well be the origin of physics as we know it. The equation encapsulates a basic but profound law of nature, such that even the most complicated quantum and relativistic equations can be reduced to it at certain limits. Edit - found out you moved it up in the end, cheers!

[@poge6192]

Yeah, it's a result from solid state physics that concentrates on a very specific usage regime of devices. These kinds of complicated systems are going to be nonlinear in nature, but Ohm's law can be applied very accurately for whatever conditions they are linear. However, it's not just for resistors - a more general form much more widely used is V(w) = I(w) Z(w), as a frequency domain/phasor equation. This allows us to treat capacitors and inductors, whose behavior can be confusing and needs to be modeled by a diffeq, as ohmic (in sinusoidal steady state). In that way, Ohm's law creates a vital piece of the puzzle to solve more complicated circuits for much more interesting results than a high school resistor nest homework.

Though I don't think i personally would put the Euler-Lagrange equations that high, however I would keep the action at S tier. It's usually easier to vary the action directly; and the EL equations are really only a special case where the Lagrangian is first order and nothing too funny is happening with any boundaries. You can't even use EL with the Einstein Hilbert action, as the Lagrangian has second order derivatives with respect to the metric

[@AndrewDotsonvideos]

There are higher order versions of the E.L.E's though, right? I think there's an exercise in goldstein where you have to derive the E.L.E's for a lagrangian that depends on second derivatives but I can't say for sure.

[@Airsofter4692]

@@AndrewDotsonvideos you can, yeah. You end up with a series of higher derivatives, where in the derivation you have to do integration by parts an extra time for each higher derivative. But I'd argue this is often easier to vary to the action directly, with this generalised EL method you can end up needing to take some pretty unpleasant derivatives (for example, trying this with the Einstein Hilbert action would be horrendous. Which is why no textbook I've seen tries this). This also doesn't deal with the possibility of strange stuff going on at the boundary. In GR this is even more complicated, as you need to add an extra Gibbons-Hawking-York term.

Noether's Theorem would be my first top tier pick as well. But I think it's even more than what you describe. Its semantic extent and conceptual importance is broader and more fundamental than what is captured in the equation for conserved currents. I thinks not even (primarily) a *physical* principle - it is a logical/philosophical principle, by introducing important precision into the very conceptual structure of and between the concepts of "symmetry", "continuity" and "invariance", the former of which is a "passive mode" of description - describes the properties from a static perspective (not necessarily merely static properties though). The latter is a fundamentally "active mode" of description - as "invariance" is always invariance *under* some process/transformation. Weyl was one of those who recognized this broader importance of Noether's work for questions of philosophy of science and ontology - and even tried to relate that insight to the layperson in a few popular science books - while being one of the last "universalists" in maths & physics (with maybe only von Neumann as a peer in this regard), himself advancing the state of the art in these matters. In this regard, I think it's similar to the *general* "uncertainty principle" captured in fourier analysis, which also regards a "shift in pespective on the same thing", by translating between time and frequency domain - which is not actually mainly a fact about nature, but about our "frame of representation". If our "periodic table" for constructing/analyzing continuous signals are pure frequencies, their ideal nature includes extending infinitely in time and space. This entails - purely conceptually, you don't even need a physical context - that to represent continuous signals which are bounded in any way and thus non-pure, non-ideal, you get infinities - an infinite number of weighted contributions from the ideal, infinitely extending "elements". This in turn entails a general principle extending beyond the physical context - that the more finely you specify limits in either the frequency or time domain, the less "certain"/"specific" your value in the other is - there is a complementary relationship in specificity of determination. The wider the temporal boundaries are, the closer to "pure" we can get - with absolutely pure waves only being possible in the infinite limit. OTOH - the more narrow our temporal bounds are, the less selective/specific the distribution of frequencies with their weights. This is why group-theory, and in general abstract/universal algebra, (higher) category theory etc are so useful - because they "extract" the most general principles which then apply to so many different situations.

I am taking undergrad Electronics engineering and though Ohm's law is popular, it does not necessarily having anything astounding in it. So I'd give it C or D as well.

[@notstorm208]

It would be a little cooler if it was at least the phasor V=IZ

[@rafg.1493]

KVL or KCL is more important than ohms law. But those are pretty trivial and go off of the idea of conservation

[@bobbwc7011]

The problem is that everybody commenting on Ohm's law here reveal a lack of proper education in electrodynamics. Ohm's law is NOT R = U / I. That is only a special case which is obtained by integrating the differential form of the principle. J = k E is Ohm's law and there are some interesting insights to that. But despite not being that old I feel like I'm a boomer when I see how shallow people study stuff in college and university these days. Or maybe I just went to a really good university where the professors were no superficial retards.

[@EklavyaClassesz]

@@bobbwc7011 my teacher told me something like that J= kE stuff

[@Mforader1792]

Living like the pilgrims. Bro.......newmexico with swamp coolers is awesome at 97 you can feel the dust stick to your ....everything.🤙 thanks for the video mane!

[@noxioustab1347]

*puts ohm's law in D tier* "we still use swamp coolers like the pilgrims" xD Jk

[@andreacosta2238]

here come the frustrated engineering students in 3,2,1..

[@nicmalecha4738]

As a financial consultant, the fact that buy low/sell high was omitted from this list of fundamental equations is highly egregious and offensive.

[@Brendakye2468]

EE here, I disagree with the EE above saying that they took ohms law D-tier personally... However Maxwell's equations on the other hand, that was a hit

[@aidenwinter1117]

The kind of video we didn't know we needed and also don't deserve

[@digxx]

I really like that self-honesty at the beginning, cause it's true :-)

[@jpa_fasty3997]

Navier-Stokes in B tier is the most offensive thing I've read in my life you heathen. So much information in those equations. Turbulence, for one example.

[@patrickgambill9326]

I am surprised Maxwell's equations aren't S tier. Griffiths would be disappointed.

[@patrickgambill9326]

Not angry. Just disappointed

[@nHans]

I'm guessing, it might be because it's a classical theory and has been superseded by Quantum Mechanics. Andrew admitted quite plainly that he's biased towards anything "relativistically consistent or quantum mechanical in nature."

[@Honest-King]

This is the most random thing I have ever experinced , even more than my dreams. Still like it though

[@renevillela129]

The "Master equation" has become my life. S tier for me

[@larswillems9886]

12:55 bias towards relativisticly consistant things. Also puts Lorenz factor in c teir

[@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven]

5:52 I clicked on this video just to see where you would put Noether's theorem. I'm satisfied.

[@jamesmanning5159]

The entire modern world is built off Maxwell's equations not having it in S tier is diaboilically sinful

[@VillegasCar]

i love this video format

[@aol2134]

1:50 After explosions on the Sun, the solar wind, in the form of a giant electric current, moves towards the Earth, creating a magnetic field around itself. Upon entering the Earth's magnetic field, positive particles deflect in one direction and positive ones in another, creating meteorological changes on Earth. This is the Belgrade School of Meteorology, thanks to which, we know up to 20 days in advance, what the weather will be like on Earth.

[@f.l1069]

bro i 100% agree with this list!!! Great job!

[@trishamondal6151]

Ah....I'm currently feeling what you said about Schrödinger equation... Like it's really cool!

[@vishrutjain4268]

8:48 - 8:59 . There's something so 'athletic' about this statement. I didn't know this statement could be used in the Scientific World. "I would rather not be average at a bunch of different formulisms, I'd rather be really really good at one."

[@ericjohnson-greer9687]

How ironic the guy making a tier list on a computer put Ohm’s Law at the lowest tier

[@JTB312]

Maybe a little unfair on Navier Stokes. It can be made relativistic (even can be formulated in GR) and is particularly applicable for modelling the insides of stars in GR (which let's you compute conditions for star collapse etc)

[@lthecatt9667]

Two minutes in, and it feels like you're speaking a foreign language

[@townley1017]

I finished my undergrad in physics last year and it already sounds foreign to me, don’t worry haha

[@PieMaster2425]

Andrew: using a computer to make this video Also Andrew: puts Ohms law in D tier

[@OleLemmers]

Congrats with 200k subs

[@pratikkharel]

My favorite quote: What's going on smart people?

[@thobejanekarabo9855]

love the formulas video bro!

[@pratikkharel]

Almost at 200k? Lets goo!

[@William-Sunderland]

The pinacle of internet, a equations tierlist.

[@PMA65537]

5:00 V=IR is the definition of resistance. Ohm's Law is that R is constant (not dependent on I).

[@adsa2124]

5:44 "if it looks like I'm sweating it's the sweat" - at least it's a self consistent theory 😂

[@TheScienceGuy10]

Yay! Another upload!!
