The EggsperimentFeCoNi2019-10-17 | Today we will have a look at the whole density and buoyancy again. We will consider the theory a bit and see what it tells us.
Just use a decent scale and pipettes to measure masses and volumes.
It would be great to see a series of objects with equal masses but varying volumes being testMIRROR: Quantum DegreaserFeCoNi2021-05-02 | Don't even watch this video and watch it here instead: youtu.be/JY_D1hqPGOs
enough said.What the Ferrocell ShowsFeCoNi2021-04-30 | There are many magnetism woo channels on YouTube and many of these use the Ferrocell (TM). Unfortunately, most of these channels clearly don't understand what the ferrocell actually shows including the original creator of the ferrocell (depending on where you look).
In this video, we cover some basics in magnetism and find that the ferrocell does not actually show what people think it does.
This video is part of a few videos inspired by a brief conversation with @ScientificLee
And Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/abscienceFound Poem - Ken WheelerFeCoNi2020-12-19 | Inspired by Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish, I thought that I would try to do some "found poems" based on conspiracy nuttiness. I was a bit ambitious in thinking that I would do a whole series in a short period of time.
I recorded one based on my comment section and Ken Wheeler's comment section.
I hope to do some more in the future.
Music was written by myself.SAFIRE and claims of transmutationFeCoNi2020-11-27 | If you cover anything related to the electric universe nonsense, you will quickly find your inbox full of angry comments. There is a common thread in these comments: SAFIRE proves the electric universe.
Does it? Well, no.
Here we look at what they say is evidence for their claims.
And Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/abscienceMechanical Explanations for GravityFeCoNi2020-11-09 | There was 230 years between Newton publishing Principia and Einstein's formulation of General Relativity. What happened in between?
And Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/abscienceMitchell talks about the ISS, and a bit of thermodynamicsFeCoNi2020-10-30 | Mitchell from Australia takes on SciManDan. This has already been covered quite a bit, but it gave me an opportunity to softly crowbar a bit about the second law of thermodynamics.
And Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/abscienceInertial Reference Frames with Mitchell from AustraliaFeCoNi2020-09-29 | Mitchell from Australia is often called the dumbest of the dumb Flat Earther because he is from Australia and thinks that the earth is flat. I contest that this is not true, it is not because he is from Australia.

He decided to share his 'wisdom' with the world in a six-part lecture series and he doesn't really demonstrate any understanding of the topic.
We will be taking apart his lectures and in the sixth instalment, he will reveal the missing secrets of magnetism....
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceRelative Density Disequilibrium: Can it work?FeCoNi2020-08-04 | Flat Earthers have been talking about the notion that density is the thing that causes things to fall or float and gravity is not a thing. Of course, this is due to their need to dismiss gravity.
For a long time, we have been trying to figure out a formulation that works, and I made an attempt myself (youtu.be/hAKdyQDqP2U). However, Anthony Riley recently hosted a livestream where he gave a glimpse of his formulation of the "Relative Density Disequilibrium" and let's explore where that goes.
Turns out that there is a way that we can make it work and conform to experimental results (youtu.be/-SH8MeDtyeg).
But even though we can make Sleeping Warrior's formulation work, he is not going to like it.

I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceSee the Pattern of Woo! pt. 2 : The structured atom modelFeCoNi2020-07-06 | So far, we have looked at the bad context that "see the pattern" has set up for his presentation on the "Structured Atom Model" as developed by Edo Kaal. We now look at Edo's model, and see if it holds up to observation.
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceThe (Not Quite) Gold StandardFeCoNi2020-06-22 | The Peer Review process is held as the gold standard of quality assurance in science, but there are many problems and it is open to abuse. We explore some of this here.
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience If you are thinking of donating purely on the basis of me looking at baiting predatory journals then you should wait. I am not sure if I will do this yet. If you want to donate in general, then you rock!See the Pattern of Woo! pt 1.2FeCoNi2020-06-08 | This is the second video about See the Pattern and we can clearly see a pattern emerging. In this, we answer the questions "Why do particles decay via the emission of alpha particles and not smaller or larger particles?"
We also cover a bit about how theories are developed, this may involve beer and whiskey!
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceSee the Pattern of Woo! pt1FeCoNi2020-05-27 | "See the pattern" wants to tell us about the fundamental problems of our understanding of the atom and a disagreement between chemistry and physics when it comes to their behaviour. Of course, the latter part of the sentence shows that the creator doesn't really have a clue about the former part. Come join me as we watch an electric universe/plasma cosmology aficionado repeatedly claim that the current scientific theory cannot explain certain phenomena while ignoring the rather simple explanations for the phenomena offered by the theory. This is video 1 of 3 (potentially 4), and this will lead us down an "interesting" road.

(mainly water).
Not much more to say on that so, that is the description!
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscience5G - 01: Ionising radiation (what the scaremongers want you to think about)FeCoNi2020-04-30 | First in a series on 5G. Here we cover Ionising Radiation and its effects on the body - the kind of thing that the scaremongers want you to think of in their discussion of 5G.
I have noticed a trend with the scaremonger's use of the word "radiation" when it comes to this topic and I thought that I would start off with the topic for the first video being ionising radiation, where it comes from, how it damages the human body, and how it is used in medical treatments.

This is the full 50 minute lesson on vectors including the problem sessions from the Mechanics and Motion course I am presenting on the Core Learning Network. The target audience is A level students, but the content will go a little beyond A level to prepare students for a physics degree as well.
If you would like to support myself and the work that I will be doing for the Core Learning Network, you can catch me on Patreon at patreon.com/ABscience3000 subscribersFeCoNi2020-04-14 | Well.... I hit 3000 subs and let's just say that I am flattered. When I started this channel, I though that I'd maybe have 1000 at this point. But yeah, this is cool!
This is a bit more of a channel update as well but we will of course be reading some stupid comments. Featuring Sarcastic Barman, Dick Dawson, @ConspiracyToonz and One minute Debunk (Not sure why YouTube only allowed me to tag catz)
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceModelling a pandemicFeCoNi2020-04-12 | What are the basics behind modelling a pandemic? We will talk about a simple model which forms the basis of many models which are being used to study outbreak. Of course, COVID-19 is a thing at the moment and that makes this a bit more topical but the video is about the modelling, not the outbreak.

Original video: youtu.be/ziXDhZfDuZ8Nathan Oakley Did a Thing and it Made Me GiggleFeCoNi2020-03-17 | Sorry, @NathanOakley1980 I forgot to mention you in the title.
Well... Nathan Oakley did a thing and it was funny. I know that many of you won't grace his channel with your presence and you were after a response (mainly so you could watch it without giving him the views). But if you want to watch his response, here is the link: youtu.be/zdbJAmTnojo
I was against responding to his response in the first place: not only did it not really need a response, I also don't really like to go into this whole nonsense.But then beer got involved as I try to drink my way through this hangover (which absolutely is NOT working)
You'll notice that I don't really go into much of his nonsense because on the rare occasion that he says something, he clearly demonstrates that he missed the whole point of the original video.
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceRather dark Anatidae and the basics of refractionFeCoNi2020-03-13 | There is something about a black swan or something? And it involves oil rigs? Then there is lots of talk about refraction.
So let's look at the first principles of refraction: we'll derive Snell's law empirically and discuss the implications.
Lots of links for you:
Firstly, Walter Bislin is a pillar in this little community and if you haven't then you should go to his website. Derivation for expressions describing atmospheric refraction http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Deriving+Equations+for+Atmospheric+Refraction

It is something that has been on my mind for a while though.
Couple of things that I would recommend:
The misinformation virus on BBC sounds which explores misinformation and treats some of the issues around the recommendation algorithm in a nice succinct way. The focus isn't really so much flat earth, but the principles apply. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c9sm
There is also a great episode on Behind The Bastards regarding Savitri Devi who has been instrumental in the development of the Neo-Nazi approach and metapolitics. As a warning if you are not familiar with the show: the host (Robert Evans) can be a bit crass/glib about some pretty horrendous stuff and he may not be your cup of tea. there are a lot of "in jokes" you need the back catalogue to really get. But he is a damn good journalist.
Original video: youtu.be/rm5ZCtT7m_gIs There Life on a Flat Earth?FeCoNi2020-02-13 | A subscriber asked me a question based on a prior video and I just had to investigate.
If the sun were small and local, and we considered the power output. How long would it last?
I followed this by rolling back the clock. What would the implications be for the history of the earth? Would life be possible?

Original video: youtu.be/ZYosu_5sotUCrazy Cat Lady Takes On Climate Change, and FAILS Part 2FeCoNi2020-01-23 | Is climate change a hoax? Today's video covers that topic and is part 2 of a 3 part series about The Truth Factory's 2 videos titled "CO2 is Greening the Earth" and "The Climate Agenda" with fellow content creators Team Skeptic and Planarwalk. The simple fact of the matter is that Climate Change is real and its anthropogenic, or man made. And while many people still hold the belief that climate change is a conspiracy, the irrefutable truth is that the empirical evidence suggesting that climate change is a result of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere is overwhelming.

I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceSilly Claims - 01 - moon sun sizeFeCoNi2019-11-29 | This is the first in a series of short videos that I will be putting out.
I have come across mentions about the coincidence that the sun and the moon have similar angular sizes.... and therefore... flat?
In this series we look at some smaller claims which I feel do not warrant the full treatment but I wanted to cover anyway.
This video also features some original music I wrote a while ago and a video from Celestron advertising the awesomeness of their products. Original video here: youtu.be/HM5w7Aq8buw
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABsciencePeer Review - MrThriveandSurviveFeCoNi2019-11-22 | Mr Thriveandsurvive did a thing with moonlight and claims that he has shown that the moon emits a cold light which cools things down.
We consider the results and whether his claim is correct. We also (try) to figure out what it would mean if his claim is correct.

From a historical perspective, homeopathy hasn't always been useless - we explore how this is the case.
I’m now on Patreon as well: patreon.com/ABscienceScientific Approach - Proof, Confidence, and Being WrongFeCoNi2019-10-12 | We cannot prove that the earth is an oblate spheroid, this is because we can not 'prove' anything in science; we can only disprove things. When we say that we have shown something to be true, what we actually mean is that we have shown that the probability that the null result is correct is horribly small.
We also explore curve fitting a bit as I seem to talk about it a lot.
