She's a new kind of popular science presenter, with refreshing depth and command of the subject that's been lacking in this field for ages. She's popular and popular content is getting HN front page often. Add here the dynamics of social media engagement, meaning that more disputed/controversial topics get promoted and shared more.

As a physicist she does have certain opinions (would be strange if she didn't), they make for good material so naturally she brings it up. The disputed subjects however are a fraction of her content, which includes covering the well established basics.

I like her much more than Harald Lesch or MaiLab.

She makes a smart, but also down to earth impression.

The other science presenters are always so full of themselves that I can't watch them.

Thanks for the tip.

Her current music video channel [0] and a playlist [1] of her older music videos on her science channel. Some of them are her own songs, others are covers. I’m currently enjoying "Cassandra (Prophet of the Dark)" [2]

Thank you for these, I just discovered her "Is Time Real?" video linked from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdL8CudJTcs and it was specifically on the topic I was on about in a recent comment, where my own question was whether time is just gravity, or an artifact thereof.

She also mentions Julian Barbour, who has apparently posited a theory about how time is not a necessary cosmological dimension as well. Quite a rabbit hole. I can see why people get into this.
