“Still fantastic,” seems to imply that actual science is potentially less important on a science program and hosted on YouTube than some implied pseudo-science about a fantasy video game.
It’s not at all. I’m saying it was good then and it is now.
It’s gotten heavier and more technical but that’s because as it goes on you learn and it gets deeper. And yet they still find a way to make it accessible even though they’re obviously still only scratching the surface.
As a counter point via science is really good but tries to avoid the deep math as much as possible while explaining the concepts behind it. All the while it’s been pure science and less of the popular topic as a way to introduce the science.
I can’t remember which video it was but in one he explains about how Einstein was shown that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle was related to relativity in a series of letters. At which point Einstein conceded the point.
All this was done showing the equation… and then shifting the pieces around and explaining what they were. Until at the end what was left… was e=mc^2.
Edit: It was this video but I misremembered. It uses Einsteins equations to prove the uncertainty principle
My point isn’t that the math isn’t there. It’s just that you’re not dropped into a video with here’s a formula… solve it and you’ll see why XYZ is true. The equations themselves are explained, visualized, etc.
If there’s a concept such as bell curves he shows that without requiring you do the numbers by showing how random motion will lead to certain probabilities over others.

I hate our time line.

There’s nothing scientific about refuting math. If the math bears out the truth, then it’s scientific. Why do people not get that this?
Either I’m misunderstanding your intent or you’re saying that “deep” math and science are unrelated or potentially separate.
I’m going to say it again: I hate this time line.
I think you misunderstand.
Here’s an example. It has the math but doesn’t require that you “know” how to work the formulas or equations.
Because he’s doesn’t require that you know the math. He shows it, explains it, and visualizes the concept.
