hi i liked the led light circuit
The train and infrastructure is amazing.
Bullet trains look so cool! I hope to visit Japan one day.
Bullet trains look so cool!
Really enjoyed hearing about your dream! And I am all in for naming the comet, Comet Z!!!
Learning about comets was so interesting.
Love these videos! Thank you!
Thank you for doing these videos! Love them!
I love learning about comets today. I love Science and the solar system
I thought it was really cool learning vacuum tubes and bullet trains and how the bullet trains use magnets to levitate above the ground to go so fast. R51 was really funny today too. Thanks you for this week’s Science Live.
Hello Science Live! I love this video so much
How does vacuum tubes work.
learned a bit about Japan and bullet trains!
This was one of the funniest Science Lives I have ever watched. It was really amazing each part, learning since about the comet with Dr. John, about the technology revolution on the transportation in Japan and seeing a complex subject about circuits being explained in a simplified version, so that everyone could understand and have fun as well.
Thank you, Acellus team.
I cannot believe that ther is a comment our way, and happy birthday Tomas Edison
I think we should name it Roger Billing Comet or the Big R
Thank you for sharing this video!
COMMET Z IS A GREAT NAME
Hi it was a really nice live I enjoyed it very much. The train story was my favourite.
HI! I love science live 💗😊
HI FROM TEXAS. These science live videos are so fun to watch and my favorite part was the Area 51 talk!
It was cool to learn that today was National Inventors Day. Science is my favorite subject so learning about comets was so intresting.
This episode is really good! Loved learning about circuits. I especially like the Thomas Edison joke at the beginning!!
hello from Tennessee
I liked how they made the computers
Hi from Texas
I love science live.
Good morning, Science Live! It is going to be a GREAT day!
What is a integrated circuit?
Hi Science Live! I loved this episode because it was so interesting. First, the moment Tobias started talking about the transportation in Japan I knew he would be talking about Shinkansens. I’ve never been on one YET but I hope to go Japan with my family one day! This week’s episode with the protégés was HILARIOUS! I love David and Caleb and it’s my favorite part of the Science Live. Thank you Acellus for another week of Science Live and have a wonderful day
Hi, I enjoyed today’s live very much!!!
I think R51 had the best invention
I really liked todays live I always learn something new.
love the jokes!
Amazing show tonight! I can’t wait to see that comet! I think the comet should be named Solbri. Sol is the Spanish word for sun and Bri can stand for the first three letters of bright or the name Bri, It could also be Brisol.
I cannot wait to see the great comet in April.
Hello from va
Science is so interesting.
The science fair sounds really fun!!
This lesson was very amazing.
Hello from Nevada!
Hiiiii I love the video can’t wait till next week

starting early today!
Awesome video I loved about trains
Hi from GA
What day does the commet come on?
I loved this science live viedo!
cool to learn something about comets!
Nice to learn more about the evolution of trains and the railroads. also very interesting information about the integrated circuits and it s very useful roll in the computer s world
Hi, first time here. Wow how amazing would a train like that be.
It’s very informative – I enjoyed it.
See you next week😀
Comets are so stellar and the great comet of 2026 sounds truly mind boggling, comet Z sounds like a good name, but for some reason I like the name Star Hopper I think it sounds cool. Love trains, I’m actually on a train listening in to this science live right now!!!! How awsome is that? we’re also gonna go to Japan someday and I hope the magnet train is ready by then, it would be super rad to ride on it!!!!!!! The proteges are very funny to listen to and the inventioners multiply the humer by 100!!!The competision was really fun and hilarious!!!!! nice one r51
So excited to watch Science Live !!!
I loved the information about the trains i think their journey is really cool and im looking forward to next weeks video.
Enjoyed the circuits.
The Integrated circuits and transmitters are really cool. It is fascinating that a pure element like Germanium can be a semi-conductor and control positives and negatives.
I love trains, my dad works on making them.
Today was very cool! I like a lot the comet segment.
Hi, I loved today’s topic on intergrated circuits.
Science is amazing!!!
That was so interesting, thank you!
Its always good to see R-51! Though, I feel like I shouldn’t trust him with the shrinker.

The Bullet trains origin was really interesting to learn about. Thanks to Dr. Tobias his talks are really interesting.
It’s amazing Acellus! 👍🏻❤️
this was a great video
Those trains have really made a large impact. It crazy how something everyone doubted became something everyone loves now.
i’m happy to know about the National inventors’ day. I’ve also enjoyed the presentation by those young scientists who took us through te procedure of engaging in science projects. This has given me the confidence that I can also get involved in the science fair.
Hi, I love the video I learn so much, thank you science live.
Hello!!! It’s so cool how Japan overcame that traffic problem (and overcame those naysayers) and is now famously known for their bullet trains :)) Loved the comet segment and learning a bit about the structure of the comet. As always LOVED the protégé and inventioneers segment.
I enjoyed the circuit board competition really reminded me of Americas got talent I love how each person played a paper and executed it perfectly.
Hello from South Africa! Always super fun and interesting to learn!
The information about the comets were great.
hello from South Africa
Comets are small icy objects in the Solar System, often called “dirty snowballs” because they are made of frozen gases, dust, and rock. They orbit the Sun and sometimes form a bright tail when they get close to it.
Thank you for another great science live. I really enjoyed learning about comets and look forward to discovering more in the future.
Thank you so much for this week’s video I really enjoyed it and think that we should call the comment zr I can’t wait to see all the science fair videos thank you so much for this week’s video

HI!! I really enjoyed today’s live!! My favorite part was the train story!! Maybe I liked it because of the incredible message it bring me. Anyways, see you next week!!
This Science Live taught me about the invention of the bullet train. In the 1950’s Japan, there was a major traffic issue, mainly around the two most famous cities of Japan. Another problem was that it took 6 hours to travel to just one of the cities. Two Japanese scientists noticed the problem and thought of a solution for the problem using trains. The scientists needed to use a different quicker version of the train as the current trains at the time were too slow for the speed needed. They also noticed the other trains had many carts therefor traveled slower, because of that they designed their train with one cart, They also designed it with a rounded front to travel quicker. The scientists faced many challenges such as complaints to the point they quit. Though they quit, the experiment still went on ending in success, created the famously known Bullet train. This Science live topic was very interesting and was fun to write about.
