For the last decade, the best YouTube channel for proud nerds, science fans, the chronically curious, and high-minded people of culture has been Vsauce.

Launched by Michael Stevens in 2010 (and later expanded with additional channels Vsauce2 and Vsauce3), it became the internet’s go-to for thought-provoking explorations of some of the most fascinating scientific questions and concepts you never knew you needed the answers to. If you’ve ever found yourself suddenly wondering — perhaps during a long shower or while trying to fall asleep — things like “Why do we laugh? What color is a mirror? How many words can be typed on a keyboard using only your left hand? What happens to digital files when they’re deleted?” then Vsauce might just end up becoming your new YouTube addiction. Here are some of the channel’s best offerings, in no particular order:

1."How Much Does The Internet Weigh?"

2.“How Hot Can It Get?”

3.“How Much Does A Shadow Weigh?”

4.“How Many Photos Have Been Taken?"

5.“Is The 5-Second Rule True?”

6."Is Your Red The Same As My Red?”

7.“Why Are Things Creepy?”

8.“Would Headlights Work At Light Speed?”

9.“The Science of Awkwardness"

10.“How To Count Past Infinity”

11.“Messages For The Future”

12.“We Are All Related”

13."What’s Left?”

14.“Travel INSIDE a Black Hole”
