+++ NONSENSE! There is no Olber's Paradox at all when we carefully think of it. Even if we consider the universe as infinite then most of the stars are so so far away, that the light simply cannot reach us, because of the inverse square law of light intensity. At a certain substantial distance, the intensity of light will be so weak, neither eyes nor any sophisticated equipment is not able to pick such a weak light up any longer. The Hubble telescope pointed at a seemingly empty part of space and after a very long camera >>>exposure<<< eventually imaged lots of very faint galaxies/objects. Unfortunately our eyes and brain can't do long exposures. Human eyes only see light in the present moment, hence we see only limited images. Seems that the intellect of our 'esteemed' scientists [cough!] wouldn't allow them to even punch their way out of a wet paper bag.

Ok I’m a Gemini ♊️

Do you think a computer science undergrad can do computational astrophysics in graduate school without a double undergrad degree in physics?

This is a hidden gem for prospective students - thank you for making this video it was incredibly insightful

Mmmmmm yes I do agree with u old bean .some shops and restaurants are quite quaint at times .rather quiet for my own taste .

Love the advice!!

Constellations are just imaginary constructs which have nothing to do with reality or science. Well said!

Did you find out what Oumuamua is ?

u need a job homie

I went to an astrophysics lecture once and several people were asking about constellations. I felt bad for the speaker ngl

I feel you, brother.

Constellations are bs!

Those brows 😍

Thanks for the video, Thomas. I've saved it for later for when I have a report to write! It'll come in handy

As a professional software developer sitting at the piano fumbling through scales on a piano, the odds of seeing your video seem astronomical.

Put a Starfleet logo on that shirt.

What does an astronomer or cosmologist do

Hi I'm willing to study astrophysics just wanted to know is it necessary to code in the course? I mean i love physics and maths but coding isn't my cup of tea. Will that work?

This is super useful for an international student who is planning to apply to St Andrews! Thank you for sharing!

I’d rather have a Galaxy than a Milkyway? 🇬🇧👍👊.

here to boost the algo

Now we are on number 1 for years. LETS GO!

I didn't know this! How cool. Is it known what percentage of gas collected by the CGM gets converted into stellar formation over a given period of time for our galaxy or Andromeda?

The Milky Way is a Bared galaxy

An excellent video. The study of galaxies is one of my favorite aspects of astronomy. Subbed!

What's a parsec?

This guys job prospects are solid

Dang even I don't know that

bro is actually the mega click baiter

Appreciate the candid insight. Useful.

Hey Thomas! The discord link is not working.

Show off.

Show off.

Hi

Love it, I'd love to see more of this "Tips for getting your point across". I know I've seen at least one scientific plot in a physics talk that just made my eyes glaze over and think "I can't understand a single thing this plot is trying to convey". I always try to keep in mind color-blind-friendly choices but wasn't aware there are specific gradients that address just that! Another favorite is to switch or combo e.g. line dashing with color.

This is SUCH a pet peeve of mine; great tips!

Great video as always Thomas, talking about one of my pet peeves, and how to address it!

cool

WHATS THE BEST RIGOROUS PHYSICS TEXTBOOKS , MORE PRACTICAL AND APPLIED PROBLEMS THANK YOU

What kind of an astrophysicist are you?

Informative and entertaining video Thomas, thank you. It seems to me (for what it's worth) that this is the type of thing you can do that differentiates you from other content creators - blending something that we might all be familiar with (coding) and how it applies to your particular area of interest. We might not all do simulations of the Inter Galactic Medium but most of us have tried to create a visualisation to communicate information from a bunch of seemingly random data. I don't fully understand what you do but I enjoy trying to wrap my head around it. Thank you.

I use obsidian - nvim - todoist with a spot of notion... but the other apps ive found to be amazing and powerful are logseq and tana. If obsidian didnt exist and was so integrated with my vim workflow id use logseq or tana for sure. If anyne asks me my advice in what note taking app to use i tell them logseq or tana (they are probably better out of the box than obsidian) obsidian is more powerful (arguably) but takes a lot of tinkering and steep learning curve

I use todoist and integrate it with google cal, which is integrated with notion cal, and i get reminders on my smart watch+ phone when todos are due. I have it mapped to hotkey on my linux so at the drop of the hat i go super+t and then q write my task and the date or time i need it done then super+q to exit and carry on and it reflects across my calender apps and notification system. happens almost at the speed of thought. its the best thing ive found for managing tasks, but i do have a task system in obsidian but that usuall jsut like if i want to achieve soemthing whilst im working that only related to work or study

I am 16 year old am from India and have read many books on physics like six easy pieces, Black hole by Brian cox, the god equation, for the love of physics, generate relativity, through two doors at once,a brief history, alex adventure in number and more. I also want to become an astrophysics there aren't a lot of college in india that have good physics courses I am thinking of studying abroad I don't know the process so it would be great if you would help me a little physics is litteraly everything to me

overleaf or vim tex is what I use.

Very straightforward and clear. Thanks 👍😊

vote reform. All other parties will have open border policies which will bankrupt the country from benefits for the boat people. Taking away university funding.

Great video Thomas, learnt a lot, in particular i didn't know about a lot of the GB green policies on education!

17:26 this should be treated with more skepticism, this is a five year aim and one that has occurred under the current government. It's also not 6,500 more tecahers, its 6,500 new teachers which means that the amount of tecahers won't even increase by 6,500 due to retirements, and people leaving the profession.

Excellent video!
