Omg i love Dr. B he is just so funny!!!
How does accelerating to the speed of sound create a sonic boom?
How many different types of planes have broken the sound barrier?
I learned about the Layden Jar.
Comment That was funny. Also, I am so grateful for my family and my involvement with Acellus I have learned so much.
Are inventions able to be ANYTHING that solves a problem?
R-51 is so funny. hope you guys had a great thanksgiving
I love the learning activites ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😀😀😀😀😃😃😀😃😀😃😀😃😀😃😀😃😀😃😃😀😀😃😄😄😄☺️☺️☺️☺️
My theory is that the UFO showed up because it received an SOS signal—apparently, alien friends are always quick to respond when someone is in danger (totally undisputed fact!). Also, I’m really keen to see how fast that plane can truly fly. I hope that long nose isn’t just there to pretend it can break the sound barrier!
R-51 never fails to make me laugh!!
I’m always here for science live! Even though I can’t make it to the live broadcast
I am very thankful for my family. Thanksgiving was so much fun.
Thanksgiving was the best!
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving with their families.
Some jets fly faster than sound like super sonic. Is there an idea of why the sound travels higher with the engine above the wings? The x59 jet was protested in and had a long and skinny nose resulting to be unable to see when landing. The solution was to tip the nose downward. Instead of windows it uses a screen or camera to see. It’s bulong thin bullet is to make in aerodynamic.
Hi from Texas
How do different radio frequencies affect their ability to travel and penetrate obstacles?
I had no idea you could watch science live on the TV. I may try that next week.
Inventioneering is cool. I need to invent batteries that last forever because my Mom says I use too many!
First personal computer in 1977! Almost 50 years ago!
The X-59 seems pretty cool. Looking forward to learn new things about it as time goes on.
I really liked Benjamin Franklin, and learning that he experimented with the battery invention in this Science Live was fascinating. Also, happy thanksgiving to everyone!
r-51 is my favorite
Thank you so much Acellus
The video is very informative. I like the part about the jets.
I hope everyone who celebrates had a Happy Thanksgiving! I love learning about inventors and Benjamin Franklin is one of my favorites
Happy Thanksgiving! I like R51!
Could the sonic boom from a super sonic jet be heard the same in space as land?
I like how each week with Science Live we learn something new that we may not ever learn in just a regular Science class. Dr. Billings’s passion for science is contagious and his stories pull you in.
I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
My family thinks the scholarship opportunity is amazing and so easy to maintain. Plus, we learn a lot of interesting things. Thank you!
Even though the sonic boom is illegal, don’t we sometimes hear it? If that is what it is do the pilots get into trouble and get a fine or something?
R-51 always makes me laugh! Awesome video once again Dr. Billings, thank you! I love Acellus!
Always fun to watch sciences live, hope yall had a great thanksgiving
Thank you Acellus for doing this every week
It’s fascinatiing to see the advancement in Acellus education. I personally feel that my knowledge has been boosted to further levels than other curriculums would provide.
Science live is fun.
I really enjoy watching science live. It’s amazing. Thank you very much.
i liked learning about invenioneering happy thanks giving
Happy Thanksgiving! I want to invent something one day.
I love science and R-51!
Happy Thanksgiving! I like learning about Benjamin Franklin.
Hi from Daisy in Virginia . Thank you for the session on the history of the battery.. Super interesting. Thank you for sharing and Thank you for all you do
R-51 humor is gold! This science live is so interesting in an amazing way.
Thank you for mentioning the science live requirements we arent able to watch it LIVE all the time because of the time difference but we do get on as soon as we can we love Mr Billings. R 51 was the best for me this week. I like all the Lives they are very interesting. Happy Belated Thanksgiving. Thank you again from Chloe in Virginia
I am thankful for Science Live!
Thank your for this awesome live Dr Rogers! I always look forward to watching before I start my weekly lessons.
What is the name of the metal that is able to split water and hydrogen.
Thank you Dr. Roger Billings for science live
The R-51 part is hilarious!
science is the best subject ever!
Happy Thanksgiving🤍🤍
I loved the story about science navy.
R- 51 always cracks me up!
always love watching these lives and learning new things. Happy late thanksgiving.
Happy thanksgiving! Today’s video was really interesting especially the jets and everything else.
I wonder how fast planes will be able to go when we find a way to legally fly at the speed of light. I imagine it would be very different than the more relaxing slow trips that we have now!
science really is awesome, happy thanksgiving!
Great class, Thank you. I liked what Pajet Monet said about being grateful.
How do you make a Leyden Jar at home?
Absolutely love the concept similar to Japanese bullet trains, the complexity and measures taken to create a simplistic idea of lowering sound disruption while the ease to pilot these aircrafts for peace of mind. Definitely looks immensely structured, would love to see one of these planes in further industrial airways and possibly hydrogen-powered! I always look forward to Tobias’ history lessons that evolve into scientific engineering and inventions.
Thank you for clarifying how to make sure that the Science Live register for my scholarship. Also, I think the jet is super cool!
inventioneering is so cool!
The lesson about batteries was *SUPER* interesting. How did people then differentiate the + and – sign if they don’t have them on the sides? It’s amazing how Benjamin Franklin experimented so much and didn’t give up if it failed!!!
The plane with the long nose looked really funny lol. I would be scared to fly a plane I can barely see out of.
How long would it take to get from Hawaii to Kansas City with the new x59 jet?
Loved this Ilina from Texas.
Thank you for this live! It was wonderful
I love the new Acellus Gold
Science Live is really fun to watch.
is there any other liquids you can put in a jar to make this electric charge work?
It’s so cool how that plane could go at the speed of sound!
Thank you so much I was always worried I wasn’t getting my attendance for the scholarship now I feel so much better that am getting it done right.
happy thanksgiving acellus!!!!!
I like Thomas Edison. I am amazed he could develop the light bulb and phonograph.
Thank you
I enjoyed learning about Inventioneering. Columbia, South Carolina
This was a fun watch, I liked learning about batteries, the fighter jets, and Morse code, lol😂
I love Acellus🫶🏻❤️
I would love to fly the X-59.
Happy thanksgiving, I really enjoy the story of the science navy cruise.
Happy Thanksgiving! Love science live.
How can you get better at inventing inventions?
Happy late thanksgiving!!
I think it would be so thrilling to travel at the speed of sound 🤯
Thank you for answering questions about fulfilling the scholarship requirement!
how do they come up with the names of the jets do they just choose random letters and numbers or is it more because of the way its designed
Dr.R51 the best. Today class was very good , Leyden Jar, batteries , how they work. The X59 plane with the long nose, I like it.
How many HD cameras do they put on the X-59? R-51, I learned a lot about Morse code, but next time you don’t have to call aliens to Earth! 🤣
Hello from South Carolina! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
It is so cool that the super sonic is so fast but it is also very quiet not like a BOOM it is just thud it is so quiet but I also think that the long nose is actually funny.
Ben Franklin took the zap for us all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Accellus team! Thank you for your mentoring and great videos!
I really like learning about Leyden Jar, Benjamin Franklin, batteries and how they work. Every week very excited about this class.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday!
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!!
I think the jet that could travel at the speed of sound was interesting. I also think it was pretty cool that the jet had a long nose on it to help prevent the sonic boom from being so loud ,by making the sound go upwards.
It’s intriguing knowing there will be supersonic airplanes that are quiet. As a result, it won’t disrupt anyone below the plane.
Very Fun to watch! Thank you Mr. Billings for hosting these every wednesday!
Thanks for the clarifications about the Science Live atendence!
Watching from Wisconsin. Here for anotherr wonderful Acellus video!
I always love hearing about Sonic Booms, they are so cool!
Hope for everyone who celebrates thanksgiving that it was a wonderful day of joy and laughter
I LOVE SCIENCE
I really enjoy learning how things are made, batterys pretty are cool. The planes were interesting, and once again R-51 did not disapoint to make me laugh.
Love the live, and Happy Thanksgiving!
If we have a jet that can go faster than the speed of sound I would want to see one that can go faster than the speed of light!
I plan on being a pilot when I grow up. This was a great episode.
Hi! We’re watching together as a family.
Enjoyed this video! Happy Thanksgiving!
That boy named Wayne is a very cute kid!
I find t funny that in the navy science thing that he chose to tell us how they were rascals, really brings it into perspective that he was a kid like us once too
Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving🦃🦃🦃!
Dr. John stated it is illegal to go supersonic speed on land. If you accidently go supersonic speed when taking off, after you land, will you get in trouble?
wow this was such a good episode!!!! I love tuning in every week to expand my mind !!!
Inventioneering is a term for combining inventing and engineering to create practical, real-world solutions by blending creativity with systematic, engineering principles.
the UFO was amazing haha
I liked learning what inventioneering means.
I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! I plan to work more on write your own books too!
Wow i didn’t know Benjamin Franklin did all of that! That’s super cool!
Is it even possible for vehichles to go BEYOND the speed of sound?
I am thankful for Acellus Gold!
Interesting thoughts on how batteries have evolved over the years.
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! I think it’s funny to imagine Ben Franklin getting zapped. I love Science Live!
I am thankful for Acellus and science live.
I’m grateful for my family and Acellus.
R51, the 8th Wonder of the world.
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving! Nate & Noel
Hi from Japan, Happy Thanksgiving!
Graditude helps us to be healthier.
Hi from Maryland hope every one had a great thanks giving.
Happy Thanksgiving! The geometry joke was funny!
Thank you for doing a science live over the Thanksgiving holidays!
Hello from Illinios! Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you for explaining more about the Science Live requirements. Happy Holidays!
Grateful for inventors. Happy Holidays!
Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving and have a lovely week!
R51 is funny, it was funny when he was pressing the code button.
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I like watching R-51.
Happy Thanksgiving! I love aviation so that part really interested me.
I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving from Virginia!!
Very thankful for Acellus Academy.
Thank you for showing us how to do the SOS signal . Benjamin Franklin is one of my favorite inventors
I love learning about all the inventions and the inventors. The x59 plane at NASA looks so cool! Happy thanksgiving everyone
I genuinely have never seen batteries from the 1950s! They look so different from the batteries today!!
I learned that the sun can heat up the ground in the desert creating areas of turbulence for planes overhead.
Wow, I never knew that Benjamin Franklin had made positive and negative changes.
It’s incredible to hear how the batteries were made. But the fact Benjamin Franklin is in hundreds of stories revolving around science proves how worthy he is of the titles he’s upheld. Though, science continues to advance regardless of how long our past was and the upcoming futures we have yet to experience. So making the most of our present discoveries makes science a whole lot more enjoyable! 🙂↕️
its inspiring to see how building and testing ideas can lead to major breakthroughs. what is the most challenging part of the testing phase for new inventors?
Science Live was fun today! Can’t wait for the next lesson. Happy Holidays !
I memorized “R-51” in morse code.
._. – ….. .____
that’s “R-51” in morse code.
You’re welcome.
Happy thanksgiving and hope you all have an amazing week
Thank you for the video and Happy Thanksgiving!
SOS, there’s aliens at area 51.
I love how much effort you guys put into these videos.
Fun learning as always. Happy thanksgiving!
I think the transistor battery is interesting.
I’m so glad y’all brought up the subject of the videos it helped me get a better understanding of why we watch and how to keep the scholarship.
This gave me inspiration to write a book! Happy thanksgiving!
I wonder if that UFO was from Pejet’s planet
Happy thanksgiving! Science live is always fun 🙂
Being grateful is very important.
Hope every one had a happy thanksgiving!
I really enjoyed this live especially when we talked about gratitude, I’m thankful for science life for teaching me how to say SOS in Morse code.
i am loving all of the thanksgiving refrences and jokes!
R-51 is my favorite part of the show he is so funny. Happy Thanksgiving from Louisiana
Happy Thanksgiving.🍁🍂
I really enjoyed todays science live!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! I liked your story about the Navy Science Cruise and the flight!
Happy Thanksgiving! I am very grateful for so much! I always love the stories that you tell about airplanes!
Happy thanks giving from Georgia
Thanks again Tobias for sharing great science stories.
i love that glass half-empty versus glass half-full analogy
What made you want to make acellus
I Love Dr R51 is always make me laugh also i found it very interesting how the are trying to re-shape the jets to make the sonic boom more silent
I don’t think R51 was thinking when he sent the SOS, because aliens went to see what was wrong.
! LOVE SC!ENCE L!VE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R 51 was hilarious
The Science Live was great. I think that the plane looked really funny with the long nose. It was super funny when R-51 made an SOS to the “UFO”. Lol Love you Lady Pajet you are so pretty!!!!
