Videos from Minute Physics have been featured on PBS NewsHour,[4] Huffington Post,[5][6] NBC,[7] and Gizmodo.[8] Minute Physics is also a channel that is able to be viewed through YouTube EDU.

Videos

The most popular Minute Physics video, with more than 15 million views, discusses whether it is more suitable to walk or to run when trying to avoid rain.[9] Reich also has uploaded a series of three videos explaining the Higgs Boson.[5][6][7] In March 2020 Reich produced a video that explained exponential projection of statistics as data is being collected, using the evolving record related to COVID-19 data.[10]

Collaborations

Minute Physics has collaborated with Vsauce,[11] as well as the director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Neil Turok, and Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day.[12] Minute Physics also has made two videos that were narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson[13][14] and one video narrated by Tom Scott.[15] The channel also collaborated with physicist Sean M. Carroll in a five-part video series on time and entropy and with Grant Sanderson on a video about a lost lecture of physicist Richard Feynman, as well as a video about Bell's Theorem.[16][17]

Other channels

In October 2011, Reich started a second channel, Minute Earth. The channel features a similar style to his Minute Physics videos, with a focus on the physical properties and phenomena that make up and occur on Earth.[18] Minute Physics also is available to download as a podcast on iTunes.[19]

Standard and Nebula

Minute Physics was one of the original founders of the Standard creator community along with Dave Wiskus, CGP Grey, Philipp Dettmer and many other creators. Through Standard, Minute Physics has released most of his content on Standard's Nebula streaming video service, including two exclusive Nebula Originals MinuteBody and The Illegal Alien.[20]
