• Side note: I recently came across this YouTube video which did a fantastic job showing just the basics of waveform collapse, without straying into silly metaphors and cartoons, or getting bogged down by historical narratives: [VIDEO] Highly recommended for anyone trying to grok the relationship …

• I really wanted to like PBS SpaceTime. So many interesting subjects and I love physics videos on YouTube. But there's something about Matt O'Dowd that makes them unwatchable for me. Something about the pacing, I just can't stay focused. Another great channel is looking Glass …

• Somewhat off topic, but one of my absolute favorite YouTube videos is this [VIDEO] one by Udiprod that shows visualizations of wave function collapse, with bite sized, iterative explanation of all the concepts involved.
