There's a well-received fan theory that ALL the Simpsons are intelligent, it's only Lisa who acts on it. Homer is only dumb because of the crayon up his nose, yet still calculated Judgment day. Marge is successful at any job or enterprise she enters. Bart can learn languages ungodlily quickly. And Maggie unlocked immortality.

[@ryko6063]

Bart is also great at chemistry

[@JorgePerez-gd4tu]

"Hello my smart mates" Me:*here to just see the Simpsons"

[@olgud.manega]

Not mutual excluyent

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Sorry for spewing out stereotypes, but Dylan is the guy I'd expect to see at Oxford physics department 😂😂😂 You are so cool!

[@alannamcneill5679]

And he's so handsome.

[@nullakjg767]

He looks like a waiter to me lol

[@polreamonn]

His family name is Dance.

[@irisrch6236]

Here we go again with the "chemistry is easy physics" *right in the degree* lol

[@carter5548]

Right? I love chemistry and hated physics in college so that hit me in the gut.

[@spandanganguli6903]

An old joke: The physicist bemoans his recent divorce. His wife married a colleague of his. "I'd have understood if it was the Gardener, but a Chemist?"

[@TurquoiseStar17]

I love how Stephen Hawking was one of the world's smartest people but still had a great sense of humour to poke fun at himself. He guest starred again on that episode when Homer thought he imagined Ray the roofer, and also Big Bang Theory once or twice.

[@strav8672]

He was on Futurama quite often as well

[@TheGreatLordDufus]

And ran over Brian Cox in a Monty Python reunion special kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIXTc4qeosagjdE

[@FanboyFilms]

And he played poker with Data on Star Trek TNG.

[@deathsythe42]

Dylan: Let me know if I have a nerd voice. Me: *Wondering if he's single and if so....HOW!?* The only thing better than someone cute is someone cute who's also intelligent. I love these videos for the science and the adorableness.

[@MomsAgainstCatboys]

Seriously, he’s handsome AF

[@willgarza1973]

And he does these videos in his pants lol

[@JonathonWilder]

A guy here, and I 100% agree. Heh

[@thomasonyango8208]

He's got a hot Russian gf. So sadly not.

[@RayramAureanBlue]

He has a girlfriend who is a medical student. She did a reaction with him on that one Rick and Morty episode, "Anatomy Park". I find it a common trend that people will date people who are of a similar intelligence to themselves.

[@claymccoy]

One of my favorite quotes from The Simpsons was in the Stephen Hawking episode: Hawking: "Time for this hog to fly." *pushs button, toothbrush comes out and brushes his teeth* Hawking: "Wrong button..."

[@aliciadanielleb]

Thanks for showing the cat ❤️🐈‍⬛

[@gordieparenteau6555]

Professor Frink is an underappreciated character who deserves an educational show of his own.

[@LovedayJourno]

Your video reminded me of the book I'm reading "The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets", which explains the mathematical references in The Simpsons and the fact that a good chunk of the writers are mathematicians and/or love numbers.

[@Lamb666]

I like how they included numbers for solving Fermat's last theorem all over.

[@SlimThrull]

It's a great running gag that only about 2% of people get. I love it.

[@franklyncheatum2324]

About women in physics, studies have shown that extremely high mathematical intelligence in girls is more likely to be accompanied by extremely high intelligence in other areas than it is for boys. In other words, a boy gifted in math is more likely to be gifted in only math and choose a STEM field. A girl gifted in math is more likely to be gifted in multiple areas and have other options to choose from. So while I agree that we should encourage girls to try going as far in STEM as they can/choose, we also have to accept that the numbers may never be perfectly equal. There's also the fact that the biggest measured difference in cognitive function between the sexes is that men are more interested in things, while women are more interested in people (on average). I'm a father of two girls and my sister is a PHD in mathematics. My oldest daughter won the math award for her grade last year. Encourage your daughters to follow their passion so that they're happy in their work, but don't push them to something they don't like because you want to redress some imbalance in the field.

[@emanuelkokovics]

Your voice is cool! Also I love today's physics' topics you discussed :)

[@squintywhisper8247]

His voice is so good

[@bplup6419]

"Hello, my smart mates." Making a lot of assumptions about me.

[@Rubidius]

Hank Azaria based the voice of Professor Frink on Jerry Lewis' performance in the 1963 movie The Nutty Professor.

[@pismith1]

I love the videos man. Keep rocking it.

[@abrahamlincoln4894]

The Chris Hemsworth of physics

[@FandomCanon]

Lol, Chris Hemsworth thought that a pair of glasses and a button down collar would fool us into thinking he's a physicist.

[@maroonnoodles]

Dylan its me again, back to ask you if you can react to one of the Family guy episodes Road to the Multiverse or Back to the Pilot. sincerely Pesty Commentor

[@Riseroseriot]

Up for this

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

You’re not fooling me, Australian Superman.

[@dvsreed]

Now do Futurama which taught me everything I know about physics

[@Jorge_Ramirez]

Please react to: Stargate SG-1, season 2 episode 15 "A Matter of Time" You are going to love it

[@ianpage2509]

Indeed.

[@MatthewSuffidy]

What is neat about the cyclical Universe idea is that it can repeat just like last time with no loss. You see all the energy spreads out and seems cooler at any point in our Universe. But if the Universe starts to collapse, instead of expanding all these radiation rays and matter will just go back into a singularity and then explode again releasing mostly hydrogen again.

[@jeffreynagy7112]

I died laughing when homer accidentally proved god doesn’t exist.

[@altheamartin3990]

Fastest 10min 46sec of my life I did not want this to end 🤣😭

[@majkus]

Professor Frink's voice, and his occasional use of 'flaven', is an imitation of an early Jerry Lewis character. Lewis later created the character of the Nutty Professor, who also figures into all this.

[@flashypixel8962]

You should do doctor who next. The TARDIS would be a great thing to talk about physics wise.

[@MadmanJnr]

Board shorts confirmed! GG Dylan

[@Ajonr]

Okay, how are the interior of a black hole and the universe before the big bang different? Aren't both just entropy/information "barriers". Ok, Hawking Radiation does differentiate BH and t < BB in that regard. Does that suggest a similar correlate may exist for t < BB? Prove that (and good luck with the math on that) and maybe we could have Dance/Rothberg Radiation (see, I even give you first billing).

[@Possiblekim]

I am surprised and amazed that Homer knows the law of thermodynamics.

[@Possiblekim]

@quetzalpacheco A trained dog could do this job XD

[@wrenbirdreactions]

Dylan: Let me know if I have a nerd voice. Me: Hell no, it's very sexy. And your Clark Kent hair is cute AF! and then............. Dylan: Better than Iron Man...... Me: YOU'RE DEAD TO ME DYLAN!

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

To the first law of thermodynamics - that only goes for closed systems though, and i did read some papers that our universe may very well be an open system where energy can be "destroyed" by it leaving the system or "created" by introducing it into the system, now its been a while but it had to do with black and white holes as concept

[@cookiewoke1899]

I know absolutely nothing about physics, but I am so glad I clicked.

[@xavierfalkenstein8954]

You look like clark kent lmao

[@lobsters12111]

“We just need a black hole” oh ok I’ll run to the shop real quick

[@sixatoms1182]

Love The Science Videos Keep It up !

[@godwinvaseekaran7667]

4:10 And there, you have your answer.

[@johnbordough7143]

I love these videos, there all so wholesome. Keep it up!

[@calebworden2993]

It surrounds us it binds us and penetrates us it's what holds the universe together haha

[@JorgePerez-gd4tu]

And you have a surprisingly non nerdy voice (you are still a nerd though)

[@Yustis]

Yo bruh Hamm, fake advertising, you have suits, without pants. 😂😂😂

[@nope9183]

You have a kitty, a science kitty, instant sub.

[@sito2449]

Dylan (The Love Expert) 4:38

[@buniteer]

"Chemistry, which is easy physics".... That hit me straight in the heart! Especially since I gave up on an Astrophysics degree to graduate with a Chemistry degree😢.... Why are physicists so mean?! 😅

[@morving7714]

React to a certain magical index because it has characters that are heavily science based like there is a guy that can control vectors and a girl that can control electricity but the was she use electricity to generate magnetic force to Lorenz force to make a railgun .This series is second to dr. Stone to be the most science based even though it has a magic and science both to and greatly Balance both of them

[@emeryjem]

If chemistry is easy physics why was I so much worse at Chem compared to physics at school 😭😭

[@jeffd8465]

I just like to say that when this guy said "according to our current understanding of thermal dynamics" I was impressed. Every scientists should say it like that instead of impossible it should always be what we currently understand. As for science proving or disproving the existence of God, it would be pretty much impossible since what would you even look for and God be beyond what we could ever comprehend and hey, since God is everywhere at the same time and in everything, how would we even know where God begins or ends? There are some questions that are best left to the theologians, at least for now.

[@bensoussou]

4:32 but wait... physics is easy maths, Don't try geting girls with that tho

[@Dead_Gone]

When are you gonna make more music my man?

[@ezramantini8078]

Isn’t gravity a consequence on spacetime curvature? There what you experience and what you calculate is just a pseudo force ? The effect(falling) is real but the cause(force calculated) is an illusion

[@qriusty5041]

I dont know why, but "I 8 sum pi" was pretty funny for me.

[@geddon436]

9:31. My knowledge of physics is limited, but when hawking rises from the floor using his helicopter blades, his wheel chair would spin the opposite direction? Or, unless the blades were spinning slow enough to wear the rocket engines were the main source of upward force?

[@sumdumbmick]

I feel like it would be helpful if every once in a while somebody would point out that the universe is also permeated by things like the lynx attack field. at all points in space it's possible that something is being attacked by a lynx, but this only manifests very occasionally and it seems to be much more frequent on dry land in the northern hemisphere. when you get your head around what I just said, quantum fields become a lot more accessible and intuitive in several ways, and certainly less intimidating. especially if you can abstract away individual lynx as 'particles' of the lynx attack field, and then treat the distribution of observed lynx attack events as statistical occurrences over the entire universe.

[@sumdumbmick]

lynx attacks are the interaction mediated by the lynx attack particle (lynx), and animals between the size of mice and deer are subject to this interaction. I think framing something familiar in these terms can demystify things quite a bit. of course it's absolutely not a perfect analogy, and some care should be taken to note where the analogy fails. but speaking of 'fields' and 'interactions' and all that stuff without any such analogy makes it really esoteric when I don't think it needs to be.

[@Seb4041]

I read that joke as "I ate all the pies" haha cause i thought "the sum of pie" hahaha

1:20 The black board also shows what appears to be an answer to Fermat's Last Theorem if you use a basic calculator. There's so much Math humor is Simpsons you could write a book about it. .. And Simon Singh did so.

Alright, fine, I admit it! My perpetual motion machine actually just utilizes the universe expanding as a power source!

the difference between magic and science is if science solved it yet

[@AndyHoward]

LOVE = "HAVING TO NEVER SAY YOU'RE SORRY" That is from Love Story (1970) and it's a terrible philosophy to build a relationship on.

[@coppelia8641]

I love the Simpsons and their mathematical references although I would’ve also liked so see Dylan’s review of Homer’s ‘I accidentally proved god isn’t real’ theory, if he had paused it (bc it’s literally a bunch of equations)

[@ChaosTheory666]

@3:30 I'm way too proud about getting this joke on my own.

[@James-yj3rq]

You should do a reaction to Jimmy Neutron

[@MrInternetHermit]

..... I won't lie, I clicked because I thought the looked like IRL Clark Kent.

[@lorencalfe6446]

Dylan this is kind of off topic but regarding thermodynamics I wonder if part of the caloric energy of food becomes un-useable after digestion due to entropy. If this was true then the nutrient cycle would be a spiral rather than a circle. I suppose the energy from sunlight and raw material from asteroids and comets replenish this energy lost to entropy. I love your videos!

[@lorencalfe6446]

@mrdoe97 oh ok thats what I meant. Thank you. Enclosed ecosystems are interesting, i.e in a jar or aquarium. Eventually nitrogen or some other chemical deficiency should occur, (matter/ energy is lost via entropy) but it may take a million years for there to be any perceptible effect.

[@peccatumDei]

I'm no physicist, but this Higgs field sounds uncomfortably close to the ether that the Michelson-Morley experiment sought to detect.

[@undeadOtter]

I kinda believe in the multiple big bangs. Does not exactly end, just restarts all over again.

[@alsmoviebarn]

0:57 is also a "solution" to Fermat's Last Theorem, there have been several dotted around The Simpsons over time. They seem to check out if you use a calculator, but they are in fact near misses. Numberphile has a great video on it

[@chuckhoyle1211]

I am an engineer because I am not smart enough to be a physicist. Seriously. Took a, essentially, quantum physics class in college and that is when I reached my brainpower limit. I can admit it.

[@GothAlice]

2:16 - the difficulty evident in the mannerisms and facial expressions in trying to "dumb down" (make comprehensible; ignore any other association with the word "dumb", here…) is entirely appropriate. Field ≠ particle, and wave quanta (as discrete measurable states) are not easy to grasp! ❤️

Hey dylan, could you react to : Overwatch sigma cinematic ? It's a really interesting character, and i would love to see ur reaction on it. It's a crazy astrophysicist that lost his mind on his experiments on black holes. Love ur vids

[@aidarosullivan5269]

I'm very fascinated with Penrose's CCC theory, there's something very natural in eternal ever accelerating expansion.

Are you telling me, that if one were able to mold a part of the hicks field, then that person would have powers like a Jedi? Like the hicks field are basically mediclorines or what they are spelled? Or something?!!

"Need a blackhole to experiment with" is a big nope for me. I just imagine some lab being like "We can control this small blackhole let's do it" then just *swooooosh* there goes the solar system🤷‍♂️

G'day, I'm watching from Melbourne, Australia 🦘🇦🇺 😁👍 I ❤ The Simpsons, l've been watching them almost daily since 1991.

[@Bael_KnightMage]

So, I'm trying to understand here...the universe as a whole could potentially be of infinite (we have no idea), the big bang (or what constitutes the big bang) happened at a specific point. The material from the big bang has only travelled such a distance. Beyond that distance there is potentially...nothing? Just a void? Or are there other isolated particles somewhere out there? Would that mean at other points in space-time could be some kind of body/particle/whatever that could wind up causing a similar reaction/explosion such as the big bang, too? Or do the laws of physics change so much that far out make that unlikely enough to make the big bang here the only place where that would happen? Does that mean the "multiverse" is at another point in the "reality" that is the universe, or should I visualize it like, multiple sheets of paper stacked on top of one another?

[@broggy52]

Very weird and specific question. How much force would kill a man with a slight flick of a jellybean from a 7 meter distance? It went straight through the man's skull

[@123huggaable]

good video bud, didnt realise the writers were essentially physicists themselves.

[@CozyCoziee]

Quite a long time ago I kinda compared the universe to a ball being thrown into the air, as a ball is thrown in the air it reach a point that gravity pull it down. What if when the universe hits it’s point and comes rushing back to the start and in that causes a big bang because all the mass colliding? Causing this cycle of new things just like any cycle?

[@mxstrikk]

I mean, you literally cannot use science to disprove the existence of god(s); as science is, by definition, the study of nature, so something supernatural is beyond that range
