Minute Physics is the brain-child of American physics graduate
and collection of atoms known as Henry Reich.  Combining
animated doodles with quick-fire narration, the videos seek to
explain complex ideas about the universe – all within 60 seconds
(or thereabouts).  The quotation that introduces his YouTube
channel ("If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand
it well enough") emphasises his commitment to providing
accessible explanations to come of the most complex and
misunderstood concepts in science.    Simplicity doesn’t just
happen overnight though and a huge amount of planning and
preparation goes into each video. For Henry, the key lies in
asking the right questions in the right way:  "I like physics
(and science in general) because the rules of physics, chemistry
and biology apply regardless of opinion polls of scientists or
the public... It's a dictatorship... But you get to decide which
questions to ask – and that's what makes science fun."   The
films fuse a number of influences from xkcd
