Big Life Update 

I'm glad you're going back into your PhD. It's one of those moments where when you're 60 or 70 years old, you can look back and say yeah, I did that and be proud.

hi I'm currently 22 and you've literally inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a physicist. Your enthusiasm for science is intoxicating. I've long thought maybe I wasn't smart enough to study physics at uni because of the math part of it, but screw it. I started taking some courses that will enable me to study physics at uni and I'm really enjoying it. Anyway, thank you for putting out entertaining content and making physics seem so interesting and cool

Great to see you back Dylan! 😊 You've always been the one who has given us a reliable and fun source for physics and science content, and doing so in a way that's digestible for many of us. Congrats on returning to your PhD! Science has always struck me as an important yet thankless profession. I don't know much about you, but I do know that you'll go on to contribute great things in this world. ❤️ I'll be keeping an eye to see what you do next!

I'm a firefighter and you're someone I look up to. I'm happy your back and I'm sorry to hear that your entrepreneurship venture didn't work out. I was hoping that the lack of upload was caused due to success in your businesses.

Keep up the awesomeness my guy! You got this! Glad to see your back.

I’ll be going for my phd next year.. hopefully..always wanted to be a professor.. love science and studied it all my life and currently teaching science and completed my bachelors degree in physics,chemistry and maths but 4 year ago i fell in love with social studies and currently doing masters in sociology..(I’m a nerd loving every subject😊) Edit :- Just qualified a National Level Eligibility Test(UGC-NET) for Phd admissions and for the job of Assistant Professor 🫡

The videos of you and your buddy were so, so fun back during the summer. The live videos were always a blast. Glad to see you back! Bet you the lessons you learned from your entrepreneurial ventures are going to serve you at some point in the future.

GL on your PhD! Hope to get some updates now and then

Happy for u man. I’m starting my physics undergrad with an integrated masters next year so ur a big inspiration to me. Good luck with ur project

It's amazing to see you back. Hope everything goes well

Best of luck with your PhD! May it be go better than you could have ever hoped for or imagined.

Hey Dylan, I’ve appeared in your streams a couple times here and there, but a year ago i started university as a sophomore chemistry student but found your channel and appreciated your passion about Mathematica and physics and realized i had the same fascination and interest as you did. I am now a Junior Physics Student at my Uni going into electromag and modern physics soon and just wanted to say it was thanks to you🙏🏽. Best of luck on your PhD journey as well, I’m considering it as i am very passionate for science and wanted to look into Nuclear Physics for grad school but thanks to you helped inspire a physicist in the making⚛️

It's so good to see you back man. Best of luck for everything you are doing bro.

Yay! Good luck to you Dylan! I know you’ll do amazing.

Great to see you back man. Glad to hear you're gonna do something you enjoy!

Hey, thanks for the update. I hope you continue, super proud man.

You were one of the first pushes for me when I entered uni to not be afraid of being curious and then a few things happened, I realized what I study now isn't bad for survival but I want to do something different, well and now I am prepearing (mostly mentally lol, also finishing the thing I'm studying rn so I have a plan B) to study physics with aim to go into medical physics. It's almost nostalgic seeing an update from you, a random person on yt I found while searching for something I can listen to while doing some garden work and painting wood. Best of luck with your PhD and I hope I will hear about a big ass discovery you make.

Great to see you back Dylan!

Happy to see you're back! Can't wait for new videos 😊

Glad to hear that mate! never leave youtube please atleast keep doing life updates like this because it's so inspiring to see people achieving their shit ❤️❤️ love this channel

Well, I missed seeing ya about. Welcome back, and it's good to see you rolling more science

4:40 I’m currently doing my honours at Adelaide uni. I’m working on something called the Dark Photon 🤯. But my mate in my office is working on axions too. Very cool stuff 🤯🤯

Glad to see you back!

Best if luck dude, hope obe day I get to start my own PhD. Dream of mine since I got my Masters!

Great work Dyl glad you're going back to your PhD

I have been with you since the start and all I want for you is to be happy doing what you want to do

I can't say that you impacted my life or anything crazy, but the fact that I can listen to your thoughts and plans as you journey through your life helps me realize that I am on my own as well.

Aye the man is still alive

Go for it man! Godspeed

nice, my intern is arriving as this video is finishing.. back to these computers

Welcome back, king! Still looking great as always

good to see you back!

I feel you. I stream on the side but my full time gig is a medical social worker. Kinda wanted to stop working and start up a little anabolic chocolate bar business but in this economy? Anyway, comfort is what comes first, so do what you gotta do and your goals can always sit there always waiting for you. You'll be ok 👍🏾

Glad to see my jacked physics Chad again! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Great to see you back Dylan "because you are wonderful" why that kinda hit me hard, dont hear that and also dont think that about myself.

Hell ya 🔥🔥🔥boys bacc💪🏼💪🏼

I currently work as an automotive mechanic. Next year I graduate with a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and a certificate in aerospace engineering. In all of my engineering courses we're applying concepts from physics, so I have some exposure to it. I enjoy watching physics videos that go deeper into the theory than what my major requires; like your video on entropy, I only covered that very briefly in my thermodynamics class and sometimes I have to use it for a calculation in other classes, but we never went that far into it. It's awesome that you're going for your PhD. Good luck.

omg finally your backk!! its been too long not fair..

Your great at science communication. Good luck with your PHD

Welcome back!

good to see you again

Bros life already sounds like a movie, u got this Dylan good luck

Hey Mr Dylan! Long time no see! Welcome back from your introspective hiatus. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 The important thing is that you did what most people stop themselves from doing; in taking the risk by making the leap into entrepreneurship. What you have created is out there in the world - from your chaotic mind to reality. That's awesome, and something to be proud of. It can also be revisited if you need to. Your PhD, I have been waiting to see when you will take that back up. Why? Your thesis on black holes and the applications of interstellar travel. I want off this rock and wanna go home! Hahahaha🤣🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I'm kidding! Or am I ....😮 Thank you for allowing me to join your channel. It has been a source of great entertainment but also an outlet to learn something I have little to no knowledge about. At first, it was to distract my mind so I wasn't constantly thinking about my mum's death - and it worked. It really helped me. I started to understand and piece things together from your content/conversations as well as the others in chat. (You have a real good crew, they good people) I became more inspired, and curious and began looking up other science channels as well as publications to verify. I found I was liking it. Although it may not lead to further studying at uni, the idea of what is learnt is retained. But yeah, I have enjoyed it very much. Thanks for that.😎✊ Great to see you alive and kicking! Have a good one, Mr Dylan.🎉🎉🎉🎉 #DarkMatterMatters 😮

Congrats on going back to your PHD❣️

good luck ma boi

Hey Dylan, I’m really hoping to see you react to skateboarding and try to explain it through a physicist perspective. My physics teacher was always perplexed by skateboarding

I'm glad you're back, both to youtube and to PhD. I am too old for PhD (going 40 in 2 years), but if I were younger and could again choose my major I would start physics studies. Unfortunately my teachers from high school didn't help me to get interested in physics. Now I'm super interested in it and try to follow every new discovery or observation. Sometimes I try to dive into math to get better grasp of all those QM concepts (unfortunately math in GR is too hard for me), watch every physics channel on yt.Although sometimes I think about studying physics as a "recreation" but I know that to get a good grasp of those concepts you have to sacrifice all your spare time. I envy you that you will be part of all those great experiments looking for dark matter. It's a fascinating topic although 2-3 years ago I was in "dark matter as a particle" camp, but now I'm not as convinced. I think that MOND (and it's offshoots) could get some things right. As an analogy, before GR precession of Mercury's orbit was attributed to some unobserved planet and people kept looking for it, but it turned out that we got our equations wrong. The same could be with our current understanding of physics. Although there is definitely something missing in standard model, so it's a good hint that there should be something that could constitute dark matter. What do you think about another kind of neutrino? Because there is something missing in neutrino physics, first all neutrinos are left-handed and if there is seesaw mechanism there should be another kind of very heavy neutrino, which long was considered as dark matter candidate.

I've been watching a lot of Dr Becky and she's really engaging with her content. I also like watching Tibees breaking down PhDs for the average person to understand

I am currently doing my bachelor's in Physics.. ❤

you're a good role model Dylan

Looking forward to your mental health declining throughout grad school. In grad school now, make sure you find time to go hiking or do something relaxing now and then. Its rough on the head.

YOU GOT COOKED BY THAT 4th dimension kid video react!!!

Y A Y E ! ! ! You are young (( relatively )) . How does one know that they love some - - one // something ? ? ? Leave // abandon it for a while and experience . . . the yearning .

the king is back

Great decision 👏

So which is more elusive? Dark matter or tachyons? Are you going to be dealing with quantum mechanics and those particle accelerators? I might have even missed it, maybe I need some caffeine lol

Thanks for the update from germany. I would love to learn more about dark matter. Looking forward for your videos.

Dang bud you've been training hard 😮

I've been studying Quantum Computing.

Yaaay

Would love to hear about your dark matter research

WHY DID YOU TURN COMMENTS OFF IN THAT VIDEO ?? 👀

❤❤❤❤❤❤

LET'S GOO

Glad u gave up the grifting. Good for you man

I'm trying to remember who it was... anyway.. there was a software which was started on in the 80s & it was called co-sysop & it was a chat bot but its database was limited to whatever the sysop supplied it

I'm not smart enough for a Ph.D. I wish everyone that ventures in it all the luck in the world!

Damn, Dylan you looked depressed in the thumbnail.

i got mogged by the thumbnail

in America.. that's the item your buddy who you're not sure is going to make it to 30 owns

Hii

YOU TECHNICALLY IN THEORY SHOULD BE ABLE TOO WHEN YOU APPLY THIS AT ANY SECOND YOU CHOOSE. TRANSCEND

Yep...don't Rely on those bloody Advertisers

Best of Luck Sweetie!

We've already discovered the most important Dark matter, bro... Coffee.

N$gga I've been searching about you for a week now 😢WTF have you been

What if I’ve been living under a rock but I AM aware of dark matter… because it’s made of rocks!

*talks in sceince*

The phd project is kinda.......risky , to say the least

Your least nerdy science nerd I’ve seen on the internet

YOUR EGOIC MIND AT THE TIME WASNT LETTING YOU BE ABLE TO PERCEIVE INFINITY IN REAL TIME!!!!!!!!

must be nice being able to wear shorts year round

Oh look its the Phd quitter LOL.

I know there is a racist joke about dark matter somewhere but I’m not gonna say it

So... no time for youtube whatsoever because of the PHD? Surely you can muster at least a video a month!😳 PS: If black lives matter, then surely dark stuff matters in lives too.😏
