Why I majored in physics instead of astronomy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This is another relaxed discussion video answering more questions I have been asked regarding choosing a degree major.
In essence, despite being very involved with astronomy I chose to study physics because I enjoyed the research environment more and the major is a bit easier to apply to different disciplines. A pure astronomy major can restrict you a little bit if you're not careful.

I think most of us who are in physics were initially interested in astronomy. Like that was the segue into physics ironically
Astronomy or quantum physics are many people's first physics interest
Physics started with astronomy.
definitely man, still fascinated af
Is it weird that Classical Mechanics was the part of physics that got me interested in it? 😅😅
nothin wrong with that
Your smile is brighter than Sirius A
You're funny as goodness bro 😂
@QQminusS woah, major bruh moment you did there
@QQminusS I doubt it man
@QQminusS is this your way of expressing your deep seated frustration?
@QQminusS well it's your decision to live by the Bible...
I'm doing astrophysics at university, best of both worlds haha I think I prefer specialising into astro because I know I genuinely enjoy it and at the end I think I'm studying what I love rather than studying for career options and making myself look pretty for future employers.
Charlie'sGayBand well said!
i am an international senior student and I found myself really curious and very interested in astro so i was planning to maybe study astronomy at college but i have no idea how it will work for me especially since i am an international student so please if you can help me with any advice or anything it would be really happy ad here is my email : lam.el700@gmail.com
EXACTLY!
@@lamyaeel3905 you should probably search for this on the net so that you will get the information in details. that's what I did
Hey how is it going
Did u graduate?
You have the most calming voice that I ever listen
That's probably because she studied Physics.
She's way too loud, I think she needs to lower the volume.
@@BillClinton228 old video and u can also lower your volume
nLtiro i think he was joking...

Since I'm a kid I dreamt about being an astrophysicist, when I had to choose between astronomy and physics I chose physics just to have more options. Now that I saw what the astronomers learn, I'm happy to have chosen physics. You just learn so much more (it's also harder), and you can always make a masters degree in astronomy or whatever you like !
Right on from David Infante laser physics
Why didn’t u try for astrophysicist ? I don’t know much about this stuff
Why harder?
Can i know what you study in 11th to study astrophysics?
@@Ecosdaeconomiait's not harder as far as ik but it rather includes programming as well
This is interesting. My son wants to be an astronomer, but he decided to major in physics and will take astronomy as a Master’s. He’s in his 3rd year and was just accepted at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. I just retired as a meteorologist.
I changed my major to Physics as well. Mostly because I had seen many of friends who had concentrations in specific sciences not able to find any decent jobs in their fields. Most of them are going back to school for their MBA. What she said about big data sets in Astronomy is fascinating. I absolutely love working with data sets. This was a very good video to have stumbled upon.
lol this is this physics ASMR?
haha! well said...
it is pretty hot isn't it
Jeremy Thompson lmao
Screaming
yeah, I totally respect the girl's wisdom and education, but this is totally giving me that pillow talk feeling. It's hard to pay attention when I have that going through my head. hahaha!
I am about to finish my masters degree in theoretical chemistry. What got me into it was drive to understand and manipulate the world around us. I think that laws of the very large and very small scale are equaly fascinating!
I agree. Going from astronomy to nanotechnology I always love to try and spot structures that are similar on the large and small scales. Physics acts across any distance scale :D Unfortunately I don't have much of a background in chemistry (just to high school) but it is also very interesting.
Cool, that basically makes us colleagues. It's really beautiful how in science you can end up doing similar research but from a different starting point.
Tibees Do You want a choice? Read or study a Book of physical chemistry (chimica fisica, in Italian). In my opinion you will find it interesting.
The most important chapters of physical chemistry are gases, termodinamics And chemical kinetics
I studied chemistry at university, and found that many of the underlying principles in various chemistry subjects are ‘derived’ from the study of physics. As a result I have been studying a lot of physics (and a little mathematics) to gain a better understanding of chemistry, particularly basic thermodynamics, Maxwell / Boltzmann distribution, pressure and density, gas equations, kinetic energy, momentum, etc. But also found interest in electromagnetic radiation, energy, and Planck/Einstein/de Broglie equations, and quantum theory, and batteries.
I find, though, that chemistry is much more organized than physics.
I got interested in studying chemistry after watching breaking bad 😂
You have a great passion for Math and Pysics. I wish I could talk to you in person.
I was going to finish my philosophy degree this winter but I decided to add on 3 semesters and get 3 minors in physics, math, and computer science. You were a big influence in this decision!
I'm in my second year of undergrad physics in Ireland, I started first year thinking I was going to choose the astro stream but I found it didn't have much maths and it had lots of computers, so I'm now in theoretical physics which is much more maths-y and I love it!
You're my new counselor. Thanks for sharing these experiences, the are 100% relevant and helpful to me rn.
Because of you, I am not scared of physics anymore 😊
to be honest i just came here to listen to you and relax, you calm me down and get me to find peace in my mind...
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I have been thinking about studying physics and your videos have been very helpful and inspiring! You are absolutely darling and I love your enthusiasm for science.
@Tibees Your voice is so calming and relaxing, I don't feel like a particular subject is too difficult when I listen to your explanations. Keep it up!
Just recently discovered your channel after being interested in physics recently. Well Always was a point of interest to me ever since started my engineering carreer(didnt chose physics as a path because felt my math and physics wasnt good enough) . Welp now I feel dumb after watching a few of your videos. You explain things very well and you seem to be enjoying your journey. You speak with such calm and positive vibe. You also have the whole package. beautiful and smart, keep it up.
Good for you from recognising the difference between being interested in an area of Physics, and being interested in doing the work that is the research in that area. I love particle physics, and I loved doing research in it for a while, but it took me ages to realise that while I was interested in the results of particle physics analysis, and I loved software development, I don't like actually doing analysis at all. I've left research in the field to do software development professionally, and follow research in particle physics as an amateur, and that is what makes me happy, but it took me needlessly long to figure out what I wanted because I refused to separate interest in the field from desire to do the research in my mind.
Astronomy is a Beautiful Career you are right many people ask themselves all this questions and is so interesting , well im about to start my studies in astronomy at Univerity I think that sometimes finding what you love and for what are you good ,but its difficult to study that
I went through almost the exact same thing! I also always thought I liked theory a lot more but then realized how much I enjoyed hands on experimental work and how it can also involve a lot of theory and coding ^^ (I guess great minds think alike 😎)
i had to cramp my volume to 100 to be able to hear you, but as always it was worth it, such a blissful voice
I see where you are coming from with a lot of the reasons you give, but in the end I personally always just felt a stronger passion and connection to astronomy. I still got a degree in physics as well, but once you get deeper into astronomy you get far beyond just writing code and analyzing data...even though that's still a majority of my day. You begin designing the projects and, at least in the area of astronomy I went into, doing the observations yourself. It will always feel a little bit more detached than physics lab work, but as you kind of briefly say, it will also always have more of a sense of stepping into a part of the universe no one else has ever been to before.
In my impression, astronomy is every day every night with an astronomical telescope, climbing on the balcony, to look at the vast sky. But when I got to know my friend he told me about.....
Your explanations are so clear and compelling. Have you ever thought about volunteering some time to talk to high school students? I taught chemistry and physics at high schools for the last few years of my career. In one school, the administration organized a "Career Day" for the students. Volunteers from different professions would be assigned to a particular classroom, and students would rotate between classrooms they found interesting. The students loved it, and I think someone like you would be very inspirational to young students.
This video has really brought the reality of astronomy to me and decide between different majors that are kind of similar. Good video
Your videos are a fantastic resource...particularly for those who are passionate about the subject, but intimidated by the thought of majoring in it (physics, math, astro...any of the natural sciences). I've watched a few videos now, and your humility and approachability are often missing in your field. Keep up the great content, even if you don't always get the feedback you deserve.
A lot of the work in a career is some sort of “debugging”, broadly defined. Whether it’s fixing an engine, fixing code, editing text, or fixing a physics experiment. So, choose a career where you would enjoy debugging the most.
I'm still struggling with decision about what should I study ,your videos are VERY helpful specially I can't find a lot of valid information ,thank you :)
Two opposing points.
1. I had an employer whose HR department would continually remove my astronomy masters from their records. It turns out one or more people in HR didn't understand the difference between astronomy and astrology. They thought I was claiming a degree in fortune telling. I wish I was kidding.
2. I think if you already know your specialization is going to be astronomy, you'll often put yourself at a disadvantage by becoming a generalist. Why should someone hire you for their team if there is someone already more knowledgeable in the area?
Personally I think it's more important that you take the opportunities you're given and that you're passionate about. This idea was put forward much more eloquently by nobel laureate Professor Brian Schmidt at a recent Sydney Ideas festival. He revealed that he'd almost quit astronomy and academia prior to his ground breaking work. He said he would have been fine with that because he had acquired a broad range of skills, and enjoyed the work that he had done. He put to the audience that having 1 specific trajectory and considering any deviation to be failure was not the right approach and that rather people should look for opportunities and be open to changing that tracjectory. He pointed out that the employment rate for his physics post grads at ANU was somewhere around 99%.
I thank you so much for your vids! You're helping someone give more structure to his passions here💙
She's the most calmest person on earth ❤️🥰
Yes
I majored in Physics for very similar reasons. Enjoy the wonderful journey of coming to an understanding about how the universe works.. As a Systems Analyst I definitely benefited from a Physics degree. I would advise you also consider an Engineering Physics degree.
Michael Baun Forgive my ignorance but how does this exactly work? Majoring in physics but working as a systems analyst? I assume systems analyst as in working with computer systems only. Let's day I major in computer science, would that allow me to touch anything(or a few things) physics related?
TheMegaDinesen You can check computational physics : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_physics
I'm finishing my physics degree atm and computational physics was my favorite assignment
your voice always calms me down. its so sweet.
There is a giant gekko on her wall. :O
Well she's Australian
Omg!! I can listen to you for hours.... so paused, calm. 😌
Woah
The process you used to direct you in your studies is a scientific one. I like it. I studied astronomy in college but did not get a degree. However, I am a docent and my duties include informing the public about current solar science and astrophysics. It is a most rewarding position and I have immersed myself in keeping up with these sciences. Astrophysics is more than just number crunching and in my case I never tire of the subject. That said I have an extreme appreciation for your videos and hope to see some based on current endeavors you are pursuing whatever they may be.
Required a little extra concentration to focus on what you were saying due to your extraordinary presence, hypnotic beauty and voice but that is what the replay button is for. Lol 😄 I like math that is real world math so a degree in applied mathematics looks more attractive to me than anything else.
smart, pretty and sweet with calming effects = dangerous! lol fr keep up the good works kiddo
so what if i want to go deep into the physics of outer space shall i take astronomy or physics as my major
acc to what you said i think i'll have to master both of them but i dont think so there is any integrated course for that
Death Master duh Astrophysic xD
sorry?
Astrophysics is the field you're looking for.
Toby does Express fulfilment in having a strong body of science support, thankyou toby for sharing this with us.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, it's really helpful. I feel like I would enjoy experimental physics the most, but let's try and see.
I’m a Computer science major discerning whether or not to minor physics because physics is my first love. I’m so happy to hear astronomy scientists need more programming! I hope I can join some projects or research for astronomy!
It's been a practice for some time that recruiters from financial industries would often
search for candidates who majored in math or physics despite them having no training in finance or economics. It was their background in creating and dealing with complex systems that the recruiters were seeking. .
Having national healthcare and education systems serve the inherent purpose of healthcare and education and are not another revenue generating operation that
redistributes wealth within societies from bottom to top. It's one thing to say 'follow your bliss' and quite another to take into account the financial and practical realities that exist in societies that not only don't facilitate following one's 'bliss' but treat them as objects of financial exploitation. While creating a barrier to most of the population who struggle just to survive.
How many societies try to maximize both societal and individual potentialities by having the opportunity for everyone to grow instead of the overwhelming majority of a society's potential and capacity being thrown out the window. Talk about studying the efficacy of systems! We collectively pay the price for that insanity. But a minority benefit immensely. They are identified by the the old axiom of 'follow the money'. That's the problem. Physics education, indeed physics itself, as well as virtually everything else will benefit when that problem is solved.
I can confirm that financial companies often send out recruitment materials to physics graduates
rollbocke
The minority who benefit greatly happen to be those with IQ above 140. Probably consists of the one in a thousand brightest people. Sorry but that’s the way they were born.
1. Personal preference: Conducting physical experiments in the lab rather than sitting behind the computer for coding and data analysis. Yeah. Astronomy now is kind of an office job!
Mathematics and Physics have more opportunities in both academia and the job market. Astronomy is just an application of both of them.
Hi Toby thank you for getting me interested in physics. I have bought one of the books you mentioned and am reading it. At this time of my life i find it fascinating. Thank you for your inspirational videos, please keep them coming. Vess
Physics is your passion rather than astronomy and you made a right choice. For me, Computer Science is my passion, however, I did not choose it as my major and I wasted all of my uni time. Now, I feel regret. I always think of that mistake everyday and I feel like "I am not one of them, not belongs to the world of CS" even I've got my own job in the field of CS.
Every night in bed, i watch a few of your educational and entertaining videos. Your channel gives me good feelings, love your attitude and your voice. Keep this wonderfull content sharing with us.
ewww
@@JohnDoe-xo2yf he said nothing wrong.
I'm currently doing a Planetary Science masters and my project (should) be on perpendicular planets around oblate stars, and yeah you're right, the background of astronomy isn't necessary all pretty pictures. It's a kind of data analyst job (that I enjoy over other data analyst jobs), long nights in the observatory and tedious calculations. But I do it because I love it
I'd be interested to know what your stance on philosophy is.
In the context of science, of course.
Cheers.
Philosophy is as useful in 2020 as blacksmithing
@Lydia Alexian That's an interesting way to look at it. I guess you're right.
Thanks Toby for this helpful video. I wisg have seen this before years it would have saved for me so much time.
Anyway, I will try to take this advice and implement it.
Wishing you all the bests.
YOU must do Ph.D in " STORY TELLING" - Cz The way you are explaining and talking - OH GOD.. So Amusing way.... You got a great gift
We need more people in the world like you ,Congratulations for your work !
I forgot, the beauty of your soul goes beyond every place a human can reach in the universe
You have reached the physics & astronomy hotline, stay tuned.
I can watch and listen to you all day, Ms. Tibee.
If I went from astronomy to financing, I would kms.
lmao
Woah
Quant finance is supposedly a math job
I came upon this video because I have been looking at Astronomy videos mainly observing with a telescope and the accessories that go along with it. I have always loved Astronomy since I was a little kid. Then wanted to observe the night skies with a telescope and look at the moon, planets, clusters, galaxies etc. of what I have read in those Astronomy books. When I have the time I observe the night skies with a 6 inch Refractor telescope. I’m a casual observer and it’s relaxing to do so. Have you ever observed the night skies with a large telescope? Your very special keep up the good work.
By the colouration of the atmosphere they can find substance of present in the atmosphere
Tibee you would make a great teacher. I do not mean to offend you but you have a way to make mathematics of all things clear and simple. You could really benefit teenagers. I know you may see this as not being so grand. I just see you being a great blessing to high school or community college. I just see you blessing young people not only with knowledge but also with love and joy.
Thanks for the tip, your experience helped me form an idea on how every field is interrelated!
Hey. I want to experiment with blimps, and CoM Technology, (Conservation of Momentum)
Thank you so much for this advice. I have been wondering which major would be more beneficial. You really helped me out by sharing your experiences and thoughts. Thank you!
I'm kind of planning to do a physics and computer science major, and then doing a masters in astrophysics and a PhD in astrophysics. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but it's the path I think I should be going.
Man i cant stop watching her videos. Her voice is so calming
Astronomy is just a big umbrella....within you can still find many different pockets of work you can specialize and focus. Eg, theoretical, or big data crunching or even chemical analysis (for nearby planets/stars) etc. But yes, I definitely agree that a good educational background in as many relevant topics as possible should be taught for the majority of us.
I want to major in astronomy. Idk maybe i'll end up switching to physics. I just hope to get by saying to myself that little insignificant bits of data will make up a great significant finding. I just hope i'll make it through.
Sounds like you'll get along great as an astrophysicist. Whatever direction you take, I hope you'll enjoy it.
The only think I can say is thank you for this information. Very very interesting video.
I never liked that part of astronomy. For me it has always been about astrophysics and cosmology. I want to know the nature of dark energy, dark matter, gravity, multiverse etc etc.
I also love quantum mechanics, and I'm a proponent of Wave pilot theory. I want to know the nature of time, the relation ship between gravity and the other forces. Black holes are fascinating too.
Ughh, there are so many things to cover and so little time. There are many more things I would like to know. Hopefully I can get some time to atleast know some of the above in great detail.
Life was so difficult before watching this video. Now, after knowing this, I feel a lot better.
My experience in the professional world of science is that most people will not know exactly what they really want to do until they are about 50 years of age.
Thanks for this video .. gave me a vision of where I might be going in college between these majors
+RJayy 2K I'm happy that you found it helpful! Good luck with your studies :)
You are so sweet and smart 🤗. Thanks for sharing us your ways of understanding physics and maths...I really enjoy it 🤓
after watching the video, i feel extremely lucky because, in my university, the astrophysics and the physics majors have basically the same syllabus, but the astro one has a few more classes. i actually counted and there are only 5 disciplines that are mandatory for the physics course and aren't for the astro one. so you aren't missing out on the more theoretical or the experimental part (both majors literally have all the same mandatory experimental classes), you're just aggregating more specific information as you pursue your degree.
Together alone, "Thinking Fast and Slow" for yourself in attendance at University, doesn't supply any particularly better answers than you might have begun with, (usually the hopes of parents), but the purpose is to supply quantity, to reduce to a degree of quality, useful information and methodology in practice. Aptitude and attitudes..
Empirical laws, aka Law of the Jungle, is always in the back of your mind. Trust nothing and nobody without checking, because "the easiest person to fool is yourself".., collectively especially.
Physicists, "You do astronomy? Hahaha that's the worst major ever! It's IMPOSSIBLE for you to get any jobs after undergrad!"
Astronomers, "Well you can shut up! Physics is even worse!"
Pure mathematics students *crying in the background*
You realize that the data analysis in astronomy basically makes you a data scientist and you can easily get a mid six figure career at a FAANG company.
Thank you, I will follow your next VDO about the topic you are intereting in.
I am also doing biology through a advanced degree in Physical Oceanography and loving it 😁
As a pre-teen and then young teen, I liked and developed my interests in Astronomy and physics, but later developed a greater interest and appreciation for Cosmology and Astrophysics... for some of us, it is easy to quickly outgrow some minor interests in pursuit of developing more advanced interests in our lives. This is to say, some people are content with mastering the basic sciences; such as Geology, Astronomy, Oceanography, Biology, etc., etc., and this is perfectly OK - you can easily develop a career by mastering the fundamentals and becoming a school teacher or 'adjunct' college instructor. Regrettably, though, I haven't mastered any of these 'basics' yet; that is, not with a degree in any of the sciences - I earned my BS degree in International Business Management. However, I tend to pursue my interest (hobbies) whenever and wherever they may take me... you don't have to earn a degree in physics or astronomy to develop an appreciation for it; you only need to learn about it. You can easily study online, through books, or use iTunes U for free to download open courseware lectures and videos of full entire courses of many of the sciences, including mathematics, or nearly any subject you are interested in learning more about... again, for free.
Hi. Thanks for this excellent video. Please, Could you, make a video explaining how the quarts work inside a proton so that they achieve their positive charge.
Her trying to smile like that is abit disturbing my inner emotion, it's either she is that exited to talk about it or she just force the smile to happen thats scary
thanks for the Great Advice. and thanks for doing a Great job. explains what to take in college.
What would u recommend between astronomy, astrophysics or cosmology phd?
Why I majored in engineering instead of physics. I was born to build things. My parents bought me all kinds of toys for building things and by the time I was two years old I was already building things. One of my favorite possessions at that time was a phonograph so according to my parents I built one out of tinker toys and cried because it didn't work. My curiosity about the world was boundless. By the time I was 8 years old I had a 2.4 inch refractor telescope to look at the moon, saturn, jupiter, and mars. I started building electronics definitely by age 10. I was building model airplanes, ships, and missiles by around 6. By around 13 I had an excellent microscope and made lots of slides to look at pond water, my own blood, insects. I started a rock collection by age 10. By high school I was already trying chemical experiments. I was a very good math student. My mother had a master's degree in math and my father was an engineer. I had no doubt when I went to university I would major in electrical engineering. The first two years were jam packed with science and math. Physics, chemistry, material science, and math math math. To be an engineer you have to become a scientist first. The school had what they called a unified curriculum. They gave only two bachelors degrees, science and engineering. No matter which major you picked you were exposed to everything. civil, chemical, mechanical, all of it. They could not have made it harder. Everything was taught at the highest level from the first day to the last.
A few years after graduation I attended medical school in France. I was also fascinated by biological "machines" and I always had a love of chemistry.
During the last two years I roomed with a physicist who sadly passed away last May. I've met a lot of physicists in my life, watched them, listened to them, read what they have to say and I don't mean this in a mean way but in my experience the one thing they all have in common using a British expression is that they are "barking mad!" Believe me I was on my way.
It's been over 50 years since I graduated and I've had a lifelong career of designing and building things in many industries as both an engineer and project manager. Most of them were related to facilities such as manufacturing plants, data centers, what is today called semiconductor foundries. I must have worked on many hundreds if not thousands of projects. The process is something I greatly enjoy and it climaxes in a thrill when it is turned on and works just as I intended it. Another high point is to come back a few weeks later and see people using it to create new things. Often these are at the cutting edge of technology. 17 of those years were in the telecom industry but also in steelmaking, power plants, pharmaceuticals, heavy construction, electronics, data processing, communications, semiconductors, and others. It was a most interesting and satisfying career. And no that the pandemic is coming to an end I've still got plenty of piss and vinegar left to build more things.
If I were just starting out now I'd be creating bioactive molecules, nanobots, new organisms, and other bioengineering projects. Living organisms are the most complex and interesting machines. I never imagined that so much advance in it would happen so quickly. To show you how old I am, my first computer language in school was Fortran 2. Sounds arcane but learning flowcharting was a tool that served me well. For example, it's the basis of Microsoft Project and the like.
I know you're never going to see this but you have saved my life...
All of the things I first learned, in my Astronomy 101 class, including red shift, and Photospectrometery, came right back to the fore, when the whole science of Dark Matter was being discovered and discussed!
I´m very intrested in engineering in general. This the reason why I choose mechanical engineering, because it´s so general und you can go in a lot of fields with that.
Awesome talk. I'm interested in radio astronomy, detection of artificially-made technology signatures. Even though I'm no scientist, I can still help the community with analyzing data ( using BOINC SETI) and using some of my programming skill to program cloud virtual machines to crunch data. You're such a lovely lady, by the way.
Good move. Not much jobs in astronomy unless you are invited and any discoveries is the property of the observatory or the reasearch sponsor and sometimes a security clearance is required because there are military operations taking place out there in space that are classified.
I feel exactly the same way as you, on the other hand i nevere had the chance of trying out each field but i have watched som "a day in the life of an astronomer/astrophysicist" and that killed my passion of it. I still love the amatureastronomy field and looking at my telescope and doing research of what im looking at. But then i got into physics and that's the road im going to take. When i feel im done working.
I'm lucky enough to do both! I'm just a freshman, but my university has an option to do a really solid physics/astronomy double major, which I am super psyched to be moving through.
gameguy8101 so awesome, I really want to do astronomy but not at the risk of unemployment
The empirical factors can make illusions fall.
Your love and expectations for research, not being satisfied by modern Astronomy computational side, resonates with what happened to me with Engineering and knowledge in general.
The empirical business side of all of this, makes sense to me logically as a sociological system, but destroys my inner curious and imaginative child, that imagines the impossible and fantasizes about the possible applications of Mathematics.
I think it is very hard to be a Platonic being in a strongly business world.
Just wanted to share my feeling.
So cool, thank you for sharing. Very little out there to relate to.
Will there be a "Why I majored in math" video?
Lucio Cornejo There is already
Thank you for your explanation! You are absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
I am thankful for your advices :) , THANKYOU .
I'm in 10th.
But i can understand, I think totally the same as u do,
By my internet researches bout the universe...,
Uk everyone has that one moment that lights up the spark of curiosity, just like it was the compass for Einstein.
THAT LIZARD ON THE WALL GOT ME-
Do a video on your favorite physics lecture series available on RUclips. I'm aware of Walter Lewin, Leonard Susskind and MITOCW Quantum Mechanics series.
