Stellar Nucleosynthesis v2 - conceptually understand how stars work and create all the elements 

919 views - should be so much more. What an absolutely wonderful video. It takes a complex concept and breaks it down it an understandable way, but even more importantly doesn't make it TOO simple. Shows on Discovery channel or whatever use buzz words and turn it into an action movie where they don't really explain anything. This is the best middle ground between simple and advanced I've ever seen. Great work. I hope you will make many more videos

by far the best vid on the subject - it's a shame to see clickbait surpassing this

This is a great video. It's always difficult to find the middle ground between "explain to me like in 5" and "I already have a master's in the subject". Happy medium. Good job.

Thank you for this great video, perfect for sating a late night curiousity

Very well explained...I always wondered why the Sun didn’t burn out faster...now I know! Thank you.

Oh, *Eddington* was the boss, we have the *Eddington Luminosity* of stars (aka Eddington limit), the maximum luminosity a body (such as a star) can achieve when there is balance between the force of radiation acting outward and the gravitational force acting inward. I wrote a book about this, so I should know.

Thanks for mentioning who, when and most of all, HOW they discovered and created the theory of Stellar / Helionucleosynthesis, you mean Bethe a German? Was he familiar with nuclear reactions, which year was that?? I’ll listen again. Very comprehensive video, ooh there’s a carbon-nitrogen-oxygen reaction furthermore? It’s not just the helium3 and 4 and thank you, into the stellar wind??

Isn’t the fuel hydrogen inside of the core of the star? And gravity, heat & pressure??

Any updates on the AKIRA bike?

Thank you for the presentation well explained
