"Damn it, Dianna, I'm a cameraman, not a physicist!"
Dr McCoy, lol
-Bones
Well, if a cameraman understands it, so can we... i hope...
💀
Hahaha
I'm really liking this format of explaining to an actual person behind the camera instead of just explaining to a silent camera. Makes it feel more natural and understandable.
to me at least, a dialogue will always teach me more than a monologue.
Yeah,it feels new
This woman's enthusiasm and delight at new discoveries...infectious and judging by some of the comments here...inspiring, Dianna, don't change being you!
She is Curiosity Rover, on Earth.
@ *Existential Error*
😂🤣 Literally!
@@CosmicErrata lmao good one
5:39 Picture its just a ELECTROMAGNETIC CONE FIGURE made by the galaxie at the bottom back. - All galaxies make this cone form parallel to the north and south of the disc so to say, the bending of matter: galaxies etc. its just a POSITIVE PRISMATIC EFFECT as we see throug from inside this round cone forms.
She's awesome.
I LOVE this kind of content, where an extremely enthusiastic scientist explains something for someone who isn't a scientist. I can relate so well to him and understand so much the explanation!
"explaining ____ to my editor" is one of my favorite series on RUclips! It makes me feel like I came to your office hours. Going to office hours was my favorite thing to do in college. I know that makes me a huge nerd but I'm ok with that.
I stumbled on this format by accident, and it's SO cool to see how much y'all are liking it!!
Same
If you clicked on this video, you're likely a nerd to begin with, so I don't think anyone here is going to knock you for that.
@@beeftimer lol true.
There are two types of science students: those who go to office hours and those who don't understand anything the following week. I cannot express how office hours made me able to survive my undergrad degree.
Dianna, your enthusiasm for science and physical phenomena is contagious. Life is full of adventure and miracles if you take the time to look around you. I appreciate all you do to bring these videos to the world.
Once again makes me appreciate how revolutionary Einstein was in his time...
Hear hear, my friend. It's truly incredible to think about.
Not just in his time... Of all time.
@@calholli Of all Spacetime...
Einstein was a puppet...
really?
This is my favorite bit of your content I think. You explain science news in a way that makes sense and with the appropriate emphases to not distort (like gravitational lensing) the finding. Anyway, thanks for still making awesome content despite having a day job. You're a great influence on the internet, methinks.
I like how you explain it simply enough the editor can understand it and are still proud when he guesses bending. So wholesome.
I was waiting for a video like this since the news came out! It’s awesome that individuals with a higher understanding take the time to explain these kinds of things in laymen’s terms
its enjoyable hearing someone talk about a thing theyre really passionate about. they shine ! its radiates. i love it . good vibes ! thanks :)
that's why I watch her videos. It's quite visible how much she loves what she does
You just articulated one of the most ethereal parts of our human existence. Thank you, I have never been able to explain it with such precision. Hopefully that intrinsically human condition will win out over the self aggrandizement found within social media. Empathy and selflessness have become insults in many of our subcultures.
If we want real change in our society. That is where we should start. The rest are symptoms. To find the cure we need to treat the source of the infection. Treating the symptoms is a losing battle. Until you stop the source, you never know when the infection will get beyond control.
I’ve learned/am learning so much from this channel and I have to say that your genuine passion for Physics makes all the difference. You explain it like you’re talking to a friend, and that’s a great quality when teaching.
This conversational style is very relaxing and fun to listen to and is very helpful when we hear the thoughts of someone who doesnt know anything. Please keep doing things like these!!
Saw another comment saying the same thing but i said it again because i hope you see it :)
do PHYSICISTS know what is a POSITIVE PRISMATIC EFFECT? sure they know of the ELECTROMAGNETIC ROUND CONE FORM that all galaxies make parallel to the disc to the south and to the north that in this case is 5:39 picture and nothing more.
Finally, a science video with representation of those of us who don't know anything.
@@SernasHeptaDimesionalSpace hmm and what’s at the centre of galaxies? Your hypothesis doesn’t hold water I’m afraid.
your explanation with the suns solar flares was actually really good. made alot of sense to me. i LOVE learning about this stuff, the more i can learn about it the better and im glad you can explain at a level that common folk can grasp
You and Dr. Becky (astrophysicist Rebecca Smethurst of Oxford University, a fellow vlogger) should do some videos together! You're both fun and lively presenters. 😆
Love Dr. Becky
Sandwich Anton Petrov in between like an Oreo cookie.
I was just about to suggest this!! You beat me to it. 👍🏻😎
The bloopers reel would be amazing.
With that enthusiasm, and in terms of inspiration, especially to young people thinking about going into science, Dianne (and Becky) do for physics what the Botez sisters and Anna Rudolf do for chess!
5:45: puts a huge arrow pointing to gravitational lensing
Me: There's totally a happy face right there
I love how you try very hard to tell us about these amazing things in terms most people will understand.
Seeing you stop and think for a moment before explaining is always a favorite part of these types of vids.
You make science exciting and easier to understand.
I love this format. There's so much verve in Diana's presentation, and the difference in knowledge from Levi reminds me of early Brady Haran on Numberphile. When you're really knowledgeable about a subject it's easy to take for granted the long history of accumulated jargon and trailblazing discoveries, and so it's totally refreshing and accessible to have a video like this that brings the field back to really basic layperson stuff like "to accrete means to gather." Top stuff.
I am so so so happy to see a video from physics girl. I really missed your"Happy physicsing". And get well soon Dianna. I pray for your health.Congratulations 🎉🥳 for 2 million subscribers.
She's ill?
@@honorarymancunian7433 yes she is suffering from some food intolerance
Owwww... Sorry to hear that.
What I really appreciate is your super clear explanation for the subject with out any unnecessary wordy chatting.
These videos are always really informative and also really engaging. They are such interesting topics and you can see how much enthusiasm Diana has about physics. As always, great video. Well done Diana
What's so great about Physics Girl is that she asks exactly those questions everybody is afraid to ask because it will probably sound silly.
Love it when there's a new headline about some astronomy or physics discovery and suddenly there's a video from Dianna to explain it :D
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus deep as a puddle.
TBH, for the first half of the video I was thinking "I learned about this at university almost 20 years ago. How is this new?" It was only in the second half that it became clear you weren't just telling us about gravitational lensing. Cool discovery though.
if you haven't noticed this isn't intended to be an advanced forum on quantum scalar fields in a subcutaneous
inverse polarity down-spin quark void, man. dianna is making science accessible for everyone, and hopefully
encouraging young minds to explore and discover the world around them. thanks
@@michaellee6489 I don't know if she reads the comments or not, but I imagine she's not arrogant enough to be opposed to constructive feedback. I don't know why you seem to be.
Given that I don't understand most of the scientific jargon you used and that I am interested in science (hence being subscribed to her channel), I'd say that I'm a part of her target audience, thanks. Way to be elitist without sounding elitist.
@@EternalSilverDragon ok my bad man, you sounded like you were poo-pooing her over your glasses.
i really meant no harm, all that sci speak just sounded good together. we cool?
@@michaellee6489 We're all good bro.
I'm liking this new conversational format!
I think it's one of the best ideas I've see in a while
I'm impressed at how skilled Dianna is at responding to all the questions.
I love how you smile when explaining this. You're super enthusiastic and clearly love this field of science....
Completely love the videos and your presentation, Dianna… Haven’t the last 20 or so years been ABSOLUTELY amazing!?!?! The discoveries are just breathtaking!
Yes, but every time I read about a new delay for the launch of the James Webb telescope I get angry and depressed.
Hasn't the last year alone been an ENORMOUS data dump of science??
🤔
@@SirReptitious omgg same >///
This video was both inspiring and infectious. I can't stop reading about gravitational lensing now. Mind. Blown.
Happy you're doing better, Dianna! 😊
@@gabor6259 darn autocorrect! Thank you! 😊
You are exceptional at explaining physics and making it exciting! I say this as a fellow physicist that tries to explain why physics is cool and interesting. Please keep up the fantastic work since every new generation thinks everything is already discovered - but it never ends.
I have been researching astrophysics reading Neal DeGrasse Tyson and Stephen hawking books and your channel is giving me videos for quick research so i would like to thank you < 3
Your enthusiasm for the subject and respect for the work done in this area is infectious. I find it so incredibly difficult to understand physics and cosmology. But as long as there are those who keep trying to engage with lug heads like me there is a chance that I can move a little closer to understanding the implications of these discoveries.
Glad to see you back Dianna, but I'm even more glad you took time to take care of yourself. Stay good, stay amazing, and keep physics'ing
Could you do a video on Time Crystals as it relates to Google’s paper released from yesterday?
Really enjoy your videos! Thank you and keep them coming :)
Let's get this to the top! :)
This is incredible and your excitement is palpable.
Thank you, Dianna. Good to see that you are still producing groundbreaking videos. PS apparently your Physics 101 videos are helping engineering students at Virginia Commonwealth University to pass Physics 207 and 208. At least that is what I am hearing from my former students who had listened to my recommendation for your videos. Thank you for them.
I like how people don't realise einstein already proved relativity, when he took the photo of a star behind the sun, during an eclipse
..with his cellphone.
It was Arthur Eddington who took the eclipse photo confirming the GR prediction
... on a horse
@@robertmkorte what
@@billdecat855 yes sorry
Adding my voice to the many who have said that this conversational format of video is wonderful and I love it! You've done it on a couple of other videos when there were big announcements in astronomy, and it's an excellent way of presenting breaking information in a way that the audience can understand and also feel engaged. Keep it up!
For years ive wanted to be an astronomer, and this is why😲🤯🤩
That’s very unlikely
Good luck on your journey for knowledge
Go be an astronomer!
If you doubt yourself, or think you won't make it, maybe you won't, but failing to be an astronomer is at worst leaving with a mediocre physics degree and deciding not to go further and there's much worse degrees you could have. You could also transition from a BSc in physics to a master's in an engineering discipline if a career in science isn't for you.
@@paultoc2657 how is that unlikely
I hope you attain all of your dreams! 😉✌🏻🍀✨🔭🌌💯💙
Out of the sheer amount of science based RUclips video's that I tend to watch, it baffles me that this is the very first time seeing this channel. I've only watched this video so far, but I already clicked that sub button. It's so much more fun to watch these types of videos when you can very clearly see the person who is talking in the video has a huge passion for the topic. I hope what I seen in this video is what I will see when I dig through the previously made ones. =)
I really, really love this style of video. explain this to your friend while he asks questions makes this a super entertaining and informative video!
I agree. I don't think I've seen anyone else adopt this format on YT and I consider it to be extremely effective.
I could listen to her talk about physics all day. I love her enthusiasm and passion.
Wonderful girl wonderfully amazed sharing her amazement with willing strangers. Not to oversell it, but it's quite an allegory for what Science is supposed to feel like...
Girl? Really? (Looks at ur pic) ... Ohhhh.. Ewww.
@@MsMtheory hey he's not being creepy.... don't just say that to someone like that... it's very insulting
@@MsMtheory What 😐😐??
I just watched dianna talking for about a minute with no volume, and must have laughed at least 5 times just
watching her...she just radiates positivity and enthusiasm it's contagious! thanks dianna!!!!!!!!
Dianna =2mil subscribers, Dr Becky = just crested 300k. 2 of my favourite channels/presenters on RUclips! Well done ladies! 👏🏻
Love astronomy! ❤️
I do appreciate how enthusiastic and happy this new discovery makes her....you can see and hear just how eager she is to share! Keep it up Physics Girl!
Almost I have seen your RUclips channel's 70% videos, I have been seeing your videos since 2018.
I really like your passion and enthusiasm when you're talking to the camera, but i love it when you're speaking to another person ^^
it's like the feeling of fascination and excitement is more visceral !
Thank you Diana, I hope you're doing well. We love to see you smile, and love to hear your brain at work :)
The simple language to explain complex phenomena is something to die for. She talked about what happens in the Doppler Effect and didn't even use the word. Wow.
for a complete layman, does that mean that red/blue-shifting is somewhat similar to how soundwaves have the Doppler effect, but for lightwaves.
Yes
Same exact phenomenon. It's the expansion or compression of the waves of light or sound that alters how we see and hear the objects. With sound waves it's a rising or lowering pitch depending on what direction it's moving in relation to us. With light waves the expansion or compression of the waves results in things getting a blue or red tint.
Yes, the Doppler effect or Doppler shift
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect
This is truly fascinating. And Dianna explains it so well. ( Thanks for the fun graphics, too. ☺️)
“So it’s not like, showing it’s rear to us?”
No, that’s Uranus
Thanks for the explanation! I’d been ignoring the articles on this because I figured they were just clickbait, seeing most of the headlines were about gravitational lensing and “confirming Einstein’s theory of relativity” (which as you explained has been long confirmed). You made it clear there really was something actually interesting about this discovery!
I feel your audience knows more about astrophysics than your editors. Only thing i didn't quite get before you explained it was how the X-Rays formed.
you never know some times.
Hella love these. It's like I get a chance to understand the fun and important things in a completely different field. Like a scientific work of art.
I really like this format. Makes it seem like I'm just having a chat with an enthusiastic friend.
Absolutely zero news sources I've read have ever tried to explain X-ray bursts. They're always either "this mysterious scientific phenomenon" or "so everyone knows all about X-ray bursts, right? Okay, moving on", so I've never known what they were about. I had no clue it was so simple (relatively speaking, of course!). Thanks for laying it out so nicely.
Gathet 'round folks, for it is a moment tk cherish
Our Physics Girl is back
I just found this channel and I'm a new ish STEM student. This channel is awesome! Definitely going to use this channel to help me through school. Thank you for what you do!
Just to be sure: the red and blue shifting of the X-rays colour is the Doppler Effect?
Yup
Nope! It's Voodoo!!!
May be that is cosmological redshift
I think it's Crompton Scattering...
Awesome series, thank you for all of those videos!
I know Diana is very busy trying to be healthy again, but i wonder if she has seen some of the images from JWST. I bet she would love them. Feel better Diana and maybe someday in the future we will get to learn with you again.
I love when you say "happy physicsing" every time....and I really love that you are so passionate in your videos I can see the light bending around you. 💖
Thanks!
What the heck is this comment?
That’s a new RUclips feature allowing to “tip” the creator using the Thanks button
@@foscorsohil8940 it's from the future
I've been missing out on some fantastic content... Guess it's time to binge watch, like, 4...or 5 or, uh... 6 years of Physics Girl ... Super stuff, Dianna.
The fact that I vaguely understood this is down to 2 things: Dianna's down to Earth (pun intended) and easily digestible presentation style; and well researched SciFi writing.
Dianna, this type of videos are really great! You are doing an amazing job! Explaining science to ordinary people in a fun way. Your enthusiasm is just contagious :) . What about explaining TIME CRYSTALS next time? :)
It's nice to see you're teaching people about reverberation and red- and blue-shifting.
I honestly waited for you to make a video about this, because you explain it so well!!!
Keep some of your cells in cryo. We definitely gonna need this in the genepool of the prosperity. Love your work keep it up!
I was decent in physics in HS, but watching Dianna cover physics, makes me wish to have pursued it more. I just use my physics skills to keep buildings up.
This was super interesting. Einstein was so damn revolutionary.
Hello peeps, just found your channel (Physics Girl) really love how enthusiastic you are about the universe love your channel glad I've found it ...great stuff thank you ...God Bless You All from the UK.
What is dark energy
Thanks for this video, I saw the headlines for this trending on twitter and assumed that the journalists would probably have botched explaining it again so was hoping for you or Dr. Becky to do a video to explain it!
I didn't understand everything but it was interesting to know that light doesn't always move in a straight line (if I understood that right)
Light does always move in a straight line, but in curved spacetime a straight line is itself curved. It's a bit like the way a straight line from London to New York -- the path of an aeroplane, perhaps -- looks curved on a flat map.
@@Palimbacchius Yea, its like drawing a straight line on a flat paper and then bending the paper so that the line seems like its curved
@@Palimbacchius Thanks, I think I understand.
@@Palimbacchiusmaybe light takes every path one can imagine? even backwards?
Thanks, that did explain alot and a bonus is the passion behind it, you really want to explain it to everybody and you are doing an amazing job !
Dianne, Do you watch Dr. Becky? Were you at the recent gathering of physicists held virtually? Both of you are fur to watch and make it easier to understand the the mysteries. Why don’t both you and Dr Becky get together with NDTysons Cosmic Queries?
I'd watch the !@#$% out of that!
You are like a really smart Phoebe on the Friends TV Show. You have her spark and enthusiasm, combined with your own brilliance. Your explanations make it easier (not easy) for "C students" like me to understand. I enjoy your videos and just subscribed.
I am interested. Could be a reflection on the other side of the event horizon. Like when Daniel Jackson saw himself in the Stargate SG-1 from the other side. Different colors means a different frequency and I hope they got it on video.
Some the most interesting way to learn something is just to watch and listen to two people just having an open conversation like here.
This was a delight. 🤣🤣 #dadjoke
Alec Hall they've been around for a good while. Just underutilized
Very cool to see this work presented here! The 2nd author is my current
supervisor, its awesome to see so many people excited about this type of research.
The answer to every question Dianne asks is quantum
Congratulations on 2 mil subs! Love to see it
These "Einstein rings" could be used as optical or radio telescopes soon. The information of distant objects are contained in these ER structures.
I can definitely see how gravitational lensing can be used to help is see even farther away. What I don't think it will be is super helpful since we can't control where the foci length hits not really what it is pointing at. So we would be getting a GREAT view of most likely middle of nowhere.
Your passion for physics is contagious. Thank you for being on youtube and give us that enthusiasmic smile. You are one of the best figureheads for physics and in these special times this is a very important task that you do on RUclips along with a few others. Thanks for that. Live long and prosper.
Such an interesting topic I don’t fully understand but was captivated by your explaining of what was discovered and how it was possible.
I LOVE watching someone geeking out about physics stuff like I do. It's reassuring. The world CAN be a good place to live.
I love these videos of yours ✨ just the enthusiasm and excitement in your eyes is enough let all how effortlessly you explain it. Thank you.
Hi are you American
She is the only one I can listen forever. So much passion about science, makes her explanation 🆒😎. Always be like that,eager young mind.
I did see the headlines but now I actually understand what they were talking about! Thanks for making physics accessible and kinda fun too 😊
Welcome back! Feels like forever since your last video. Good to see you and your explanatory physics again!
Great to see the light in the eyes of a pasionate scientist (from behind maybe?). I have always seen the red/blue coloring explained with sound waves . It makes it easy to understand because everyone knows what a siren sounds like when a police car or ambulance goes past.
Kids should watch this, because the enthusiasm for the subject Dianna conveys will inspire them to follow physics in the future & possibly discover even more wonderful things
I'm really proud of myself for understanding what happened (though, at first when I read the headline I was like "wtf?"; I figured the only way that this could have happened was through lensing) without a professional explaining this to me (though it's definitely great to get the confirmation).
Finally got a satisfying explanation... Thanks! I couldn't find any when the news broke on the first day
Could you explain how the reverberation is redshifting/blueshifting the light? Is it just the increase in distance that some of the light has to travel? I wouldn't think that would be enough to produce noticeable redshifting
Your dad must be so proud of your knowledge and passion in your field
