    Alright, I’ll just dump:

    PBS Spacetime, for answers to roughly-university-level physics and foundational science: https://youtube.com/@pbsspacetime

    The Science Asylum, for quicker, more concise answers to specific physics questions in Bill Nye style: https://youtube.com/@ScienceAsylum

    Sabine Hossenfelder, for science news updates: https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

    Dr Becky, for astronomy/astrophysics news: https://youtube.com/@DrBecky

    SEA, for more accessible astronomy/astrophysics explainers: https://youtube.com/@sea_space

    Scott Manley, for space exploration/engineering analysis: https://youtube.com/@scottmanley

    NileRed for hands-on chemistry: https://youtube.com/@NileRed

    Journey to the Microcosmos for microscope science: https://youtube.com/@journeytomicro

    Institute of Human Anatomy for physiology, with a lean towards medicine: https://youtube.com/@TheAnatomyLab

    Lastly, the Godfather himself, Mark Rober for mechanical/electrical engineering, and how to use ultra-fine glitter and fart spray to fight package thieves: https://youtube.com/@MarkRober

    You changed the world, Mark.

    Once you start digging through enough of these, the algorithm will pick up that you like good science stuff, and will start helping you out a little. There’s thousands of them now, professionals, working fully within their areas of demonstrated expertise. I recommend googling their full names and checking their background before trusting them yourself. This is like, off the top of my head, though, just some of my favorites for evening background audio.

    There’s also whole worlds of math youtubers in-line with all the above, that are outside the scope of this question.

    I’ll edit if I think of more. I probably will.

    edit: I do realize several of these, such as the astrophysicists, are not experimental. I’m digging for more experiment-oriented types, but neither my memory nor my algorithm is helping.
