The absurdity of #YouTube .

Alessandro Roussel, who does the ScienceClic channel, made a video that was an extensive analysis of the physics of the movie _Interstellar_ , complete with the proper mathematical formulae and a run through of the calculations, with real world figures in them.

Straight up fair use for educational purposes, it would seem. And a good addition in #BlackHoleWeek 2024.

YouTube blocked the video on #copyright grounds.

@JdeBP that was a really interesting video, but the guy’s robotic sounding voice really grated. Exactly the same rhythm and inflections on every sentence made it feel very synthetic. I wonder if he’s just a boring speaker, or if it was speech synthesis?

The channel creator is French, and he has someone else do the voiceovers in English. The name is in the credits at the end, usually.

For #ScienceClic in the original French with (presumably) his own voice, see https://youtu.be/57sq1tjtxX0 .
