What Makes Something See-Through? | Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains...

As a blind person, I truly appreciate when they explain what they are doing in the video, whether it's through the use of their hands or by describing how they are blowing air over a piece of paper. Unfortunately, very few people are aware that blind individuals listen to YouTube videos, and they often fail to provide sufficient explanations, which can result in me missing out on valuable information. So, thank you again for taking the time to describe your actions and being inclusive.

I'd love to see a part 2 of this that goes into the molecular physics of why some materials (like glass, water, diamonds and some plastics) are transparent to visible light, but almost nothing else.

I can't get enough of this show. Not only is Neil brilliant but his passion an ability to reach people and explain such complicated topics. Professors need to learn from him.

I wanna thank my high school Physical Science teacher, Mr. Hiott, for this memory: We were learning about basic optics, and he covered reflection and absorption, but I was feeling snarky and said "well what about clear stuff then, huh" He got quiet, looked right at me and said "It *transmits* it" and my jaw dropped lol

😂😂😂 I could watch Neil and Chuck all day!!

I love Chuck's tangents which turn a 5 minute video into 20 minutes.

It's our favorite personal astrophysicist ❤

"The Predator was a bad loser". So hilarious. This has forever changed that film for me. So funny. Oh, my sides hurt from laughing so much. Thank you!

Correction: Chuck = Personal Astrocomedian

there is nothing more classified "top secret" than things about physics
