    I will add two: Anton Petrov's "What da math?"? It's not about math at all, but mostly astronomy and sometimes other science topics. More of a vlog style, but entertaining. I just find him to be a really pleasant guy to casually listen to.

    The one I most highly recommend Cool Worlds which is not exactly about cool worlds, but just really interesting and astronomy topics, and they are extremely well-scripted. The guy is an astronomy professor at Columbia, and he presents a couple of videos of his original academic research, such as the Terrascope video that hypothesizes you put a space telescope the right distance away from Earth, and use the atmosphere as a gigantic lens. You could call a lot of the content "futurism" but not an unhinged Kurzweil or Michio Kaku way. The video titles make it appear he's a kook at first glance, but the topics get a very serious, rigorous treatment based on real science.

      I really like Physics Girl, neat demonstrations and explanations of real life physics

        I watch her videos sometimes but her content is more frequently about studying physics than actual physics. Another similar channel is Andrew Dotson, which is sometimes helpful but also he is kind of a cringey stembro.
