Date un Vlog

Date un Vlog is where Javier Santaolalla practises what he himself sums up, in cheerfully misspelled Spanish, as «hago la siensia»: I do science. Behind the joke sits a serious project: telling physics, the history of science and current scientific affairs with the energy of a bar conversation and the care of someone who knows the material. Particle physics and space exploration are home ground, but the channel has widened over time to take in history, economics, literature and the controversies that surround the scientific community itself. The videos alternate between several modes. There is rigorous speculation ( what would happen if a truck were loaded with antimatter ) where the game exists to convey magnitudes and orders of scale. There is explained news: the Artemis missions and the return to the Moon, the supply chains the world economy quietly depends on, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. There is narrative history of science, including its darker episodes and its disputed figures, such as the two-part treatment of Jacobo Grinberg or the portrait of a scientist whose work remains morally contested. And there are excursions into classical culture, with videos on the Odyssey and the origins of Troy, alongside conversations with guests on science, technology and artificial intelligence. What visitors find is a communicator who neither hides his enthusiasm nor mistakes it for certainty. When a question is open, he says so; when a case is murky, he separates what is documented from what is merely rumoured. The result serves the viewer who wants to understand a science story in the news as readily as the one looking for long-form accounts of how knowledge is made, and unmade.
