  • How has technology influenced literature?: Crash Course Latin American Literature #11 03.10.2026 13min
    Science and technology have existed in Latin America since well before Columbus arrived. But how have they impacted literature?

  • Fall of The Roman Empire...in the 15th Century: Crash Course World History #12 03.10.2026 16min
    In which John Green teaches you about the fall of the Roman Empire, which happened considerably later than you may have been told. While the Western Roman Empire fell to barbarians in 476 CE, the Byzantines in Constantinople continued the Eastern Empire nicely, calling themselves Romans for a further 1000 years. Find out what Justinian and the rest of the Byzantine emperors were up to over there, and how the Roman Empire dragged out its famous Decline well into medieval times. In addition to all this, you'll learn about ancient sports riots and hipster barbarians, too. Chapters:Introduction: The Fall of Rome 00:00Why Did the Roman Empire Fall?

  • How Does Science Really Work? The Myth of the Great Experiment: Crash Course Scientific Thinking #3 03.10.2026 15min
    Sometimes experiments radically change our understanding of the world. But there’s much more to them than singular scientists. In this episode of Crash Course Scientific Thinking, we’ll learn why Louis Pasteur wasn’t a lone genius, and why it’s very difficult to design a study that gets us closer to the truth.Introduction: A Lone Genius 00:00The Scientific Community 0:32Louis Pasteur & Germ Theory 1:20Pasteur's Next Experiments 3:55Observational Science 6:08Ethical Experimentation 7:57Review & Credits 9:34Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kv2_mFsDxQURuFDxpflD45dy-pCxlqnM9iPSNYxigmQ/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.vk5i2fgqyumq***Support us for $5/month on Patreon to keep Crash Course free for everyone forever! https://www.patreon.com/crashcourseOr support us directly: https://complexly.com/supportJoin our Crash Course email list to get the latest news and highlights: https://mailchi.mp/crashcourse/emailGet our special Crash Course Educators newsletter: http://eepurl.com/iBgMhYThanks to the following patrons for their generous monthly contributions that help keep Crash Course free for everyone forever:Mitch Gresko, Roger Harms, Brandon Thomas, Ken Davidian, AThirstyPhilosopher ., Michael Maher, Johnathan Williams, Chelsea S, oranjeez, EllenBryn, Katrix , Evan Nelson, Shruti S, UwU, Leah H., Allison Wood, Thomas Sully, Jennifer Wiggins-Lyndall, Dalton Williams, Quinn Harden, Chuck Smith, Andrew Woods, Kevin Knupp, Rie Ohta, Jason Terpstra, NassauLinda, Martin G.

  • Plessy v Ferguson and Segregation: Crash Course Black American History #21 03.10.2026 13min
    The United States Constitution is not a very detailed document. It lays out the basic structure of government, and the details are filled in with legislation and clarified and reinforced by court decisions. One of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions was the 1896 case of Plessy v Ferguson, which set the precedent that segregating people by race was acceptable. This meant that every public accommodation had the right to refuse to serve Black Americans and that even public institutions like schools could be segregated. While the decision did stipulate that the segregated accommodations be "separate but equal," the equal part of that equation was often left out.

  • Biochemical Building Blocks and Fischer and Haworth Projections: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #48 03.10.2026 17min
    Although we've spent a lot of time in this series looking at human-made organic chemicals, the term "organic chemistry" was originally used to describe molecules isolated from living things. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we're going back to our roots to learn more about the best synthetic chemists: living things. We'll look at the biochemical building blocks of life from the nitrogenous bases, sugars, and phosphate groups that make up DNA and RNA, to amino acids and lipids, and we'll learn how to convert between Fischer and Haworth projections of carbohydrates.Series Sources:Brown, W.

  • How a Bill Becomes a Law: Crash Course Government and Politics #9 03.10.2026 10min
    Oh my, Craig has his work cut out for him this week. The process of how a bill becomes a law can be pretty complex, fraught with potential bill-death at every corner. As if just getting through committee isn’t difficult enough, bills have to navigate a series of amendments and votes in both houses, potentially more committees, further compromise bills, and even more floor votes, just to end up on the chopping block of the President. And then in one fell swoop, the President can stop a bill in its tracks with a veto! But then again, a presidential veto isn’t necessarily a bill’s end either. As you can see we’ve got to lot to cover, and we’ll be the first to admit this has been covered before, and extraordinarily well might we add, by the folks at School House Rock. But we’ll give it our best shot - without the singing of course. Well, not too much singing anyway.Support is provided by Voqal: http://www.voqal.orgThis episode is sponsored by Squarespace: http://www.squarespace.com/crashcourse Chapters:Introduction: How a Bill Becomes a Law 00:00Bill introduction 0:49Committee referral 1:02Senate rules 1:35The bill passes the other chamber 1:59Conference committee 2:19The President signs the law 2:39Vetos & Pocket Vetos 2:45Overriding a veto 3:15Why do so few laws get passed? 3:57Places a bill can die 4:14Veto gates 5:02Why Congress has so many procedural hurdles 5:52Credits 6:28Crash Course is on Patreon!

  • The Roman Empire. Or Republic. Or...Which Was It?: Crash Course World History #10 03.10.2026 16min
    In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. Well, Rome's expansion took hundreds of years, he just explains it in under 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar, and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.Chapters:Introduction: SPQR 00:00The Roman Republic 0:41The Roman Senate 1:15Cincinnatus 2:14Gaius Julius Caesar 2:49The First Triumvirate: Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar 3:40The End of Caesar's Reign 5:22The Second Triumvirate: Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus 6:26An Open Letter to the Roman Senate 7:05Power Struggles in the SPQR 8:07The Punic Wars 9:47Credits 11:44Crash Course is on Patreon!
