MinutePhysics (styled without a space) is a series of educational videos created by Henry Reich and disseminated through YouTube. Reich's videos include time-lapsed drawing[1] to explain physics-related topics in around one minute.[2]

Videos from MinutePhysics have been featured on PBS NewsHour,[3] Huffington Post,[4][5] NBC,[6] and Gizmodo.[7]

Videos

The most popular MinutePhysics video, with more than 9.5 million views, is the one explaining the consequences when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Another popular MinutePhysics video features Reich explaining why pink is not actually a color.[8] Reich has also uploaded a series of three videos explaining the Higgs Boson.[6][4][5]

Collaborations

MinutePhysics has collaborated with Vsauce,[9] as well as the director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Neil Turok.[10] MinutePhysics also uploaded a popular video, which was an open letter, to United States President Barack Obama, on the topic of high school Physics education.[11] Another video from the channel details how big the universe is.[12] MinutePhysics is also a channel that is able to be viewed through YouTube EDU.

Podcast

MinutePhysics is also available to download as a podcast on iTunes.[13]

MinuteEarth

In March 2013, Reich started a second channel entitled MinuteEarth presenting videos in a similar style to his MinutePhysics videos regarding the physical properties and phenomena that make up and occur on Earth.[14]
