QuantumFracture

José Luís Crespo Cepeda (born: ), better known online as QuantumFracture, is a Spanish physicist and YouTuber, who creates short animated educational videos about topics like quantum physics, the universe, or technology. According to himself, he's trying to explain the craziest (but real) side of the universe. He has also debunked several myths about science, related to subjects like astrology, flat-earthing, or 5G.
== Personal life ==
His vocation for physics began at the age of 14 with the documentary “The Elegant Universe”, by Brian Greene, about string theory. He studied physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
Inspired by other YouTubers like Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell or Minutephysics, he started on YouTube, first uploading videos more sporadically. Then he had a hiatus in the channel, because he was making videos of the same type, but for the Instituto de Física Teórica IFT channel, where he was working.
In January 2017 he started making the weekly videos.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO2vFnB93tg In April 2017 he had great reception for the series he started refuting the flat earth. He has also made videos with good reception talking about the science of certain series or video games.
In 2019, he decided to create a channel called TheQuantumFracture in which he dubbed his videos in English for English speakers. However, most of the views came from Spanish-speaking people. In 2022, he decided to close this channel.
== Collaborations ==
He is a friend of CdeCiencia and El Robot de Platón, with whom he has made several videos and live shows, as well as Javier Santaolalla (Date un Voltio) and Pablo Bueno in the field of physics. He is also a friend and has collaborated with the mathematician and musician Jaime Altozano in a live show discussing the use of π and τ. As well as with Fortfast WTF, with whom he managed to be on YouTube trends that week. He also gets along well with Ter, who appeared live with Jaime Altozano and Antroporama, who imitated him in the ScienceClip 2018 challenge. In addition, he has collaborated with Fundación Canal in a video about taking care of water.
== Trivia ==
*He would prefer not to have given such a name to his channel, because according to him, it does not imply that it is a scientific or Spanish channel. He chose it at the time, looking for a “cool” combination of words.
*In the summer of 2017 he made a trip to the United States with CdeCiencia and UnPuntoCircular to see the eclipse. While traveling by car, they recorded a podcast that was never uploaded, because Crespo didn't think it was of high enough quality.
*His real first video was one about water, which he has on another channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_NutOWrC_Q
*In November 2017 he launched together with CdeCiencia a limited edition T-shirt campain. https://twitter.com/QuantumFracture/status/930896780870471681
*His girlfriend also studied physics.
*He is currently a student of a master's degree in science communication.
*As a popularizer, he has attended several events such as TubeCon, CosmoCaixa, Scenio (Naukas), Ciencia Jot Down, @TEDxAltozano or @Coefisull; participated in podcasts and radio and collaborated in the CienciaClip awards. He has also appeared in VodafoneYu programs along with Herrejón, for example.
*He worked in the program “Órbita Laika” of the Spanish public television in La 2 as a producer of audiovisual content, specifically in the first season.
