I read Brian Cox's PhD Thesis so that you don't have to...

Nice find :)

I came across Tibee's channel a couple of nights ago. She does that title theme with a few of the big names and makes them accessible and interesting to the "hobbyist"

Just watched a video about Nikola Tesla's school grades. Not much science in there but an insight to his early life:

Tibees provides fascinating insight into some great minds like Einstein, Tesla, Newton and many more. I love her relaxing style and watch  her short posts on U-tube  regularly. Her voice is relaxing too, and is easy listening despite some of her topics touching on the mathematical.

Yesterday I watched her explanation of Logs using a picture of a hillside with trees growing on it. It was very relaxing and, somehow, enjoyable. But I came away feeling I understood logarithms less than before and trees even less so! 🤣

A very good summary of Prof. Cox's thesis! I did then wonder re. her background...
Not many people talk of Pomerons like they are a "familiar"? Interesting personal
stuff: Dunno... Ph.D. or "follow your dreams" as a Youtuber? Many (women) talk of
abuse received online? She was spotted with "Physics Girl" (Dianna Cowern). 😎

Maybe a bit of "seague"... but I was SAD (Human aspect of Physics?) to see D.C.
is in hospital with knock-on of "Long Covid":  https://youtu.be/vydgkCCXbTA 😐

On a lighter note, maybe they should teach some "Maths for Physics Students"?
At least where I was concerned, there was a fair gap, between the 1st Deg level
and the sort of *Matrix Algebra* expected of the more "Theoretical" Physicists.
Maybe this slightly more user-friendly (less combative?) style could be useful...
Something as "simple" as e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_notation 😬
