I've Been Stuck On This Problem For... (Vlog) 

Congratulations on the breakthrough! 🎉 I know the feeling of conquering something that's been a struggle. One part frustration it was originally missed- one part thrill of knowing you cracked it. Publish already so you can share it with youtube(me). You also will benefit from anything you have an author attribution on. I'd love to hear about the publishing process. Who gets their names on it? Are there lots of rounds of writing? Is there much discussion about how to present it? Do you or your adviser consider either one to be the principle? Lots of times managing the relationships of the involved researchers and the publishing process is as interesting as the research. These things never hapen in a vacuum and the collaboration and work that goes into it is as interesting as the science.

Was this the only thing preventing you from finishing?

not my problem is it?

Babe died already ig

also for old students of physics btw. ... in the sense of staying in touch 😂

Same for me as a maths student. Sure, I don’t really understand anything he says but his love for the subject is inspiring.

Y'all give me too much credit, but I appreciate it🙌

@@AndrewDotsonvideos ITS TRUE

YOU SOUND LIKE DEREK MULLER FROM VERITASIUM

Wow that’s amazing!

Omg congratulations!

Yooo im also a math/physics double, just started my undergrad last year! Will update on my progress in 4 years lol

@@andrew-ub4ku lmao yeah I'll set a timer on my end. see you then

@@andrew-ub4ku one of us, one of us, one of us

Aghhhh this brings back bad memories

​@@shutupimlearningfellow man of culture. People who think TBBT is overrated, they are weird.

There are partial packages however there are many QFTs that are complicated enough (due to symmetry structures) where alot of it is not very useful for most interesting questions. You might get an answer but often knowing why is more important.

Eigenchris, phD, is a mythical level physicist

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot!

Congratulations!!

The kids are grown 😭

Oh in high energy physics theory or did you mean something else?

Haha you saw me approximate one too many times on my channel and said pure maths might be the route for you instead🤣

I was so sure the consensus was going to be that it was a mistake no one else would have made😅 the solidarity is strong with this community

🙌🏻

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!

You can do it, best of luck with your studies!

Yup or saying you’ve chosen a frame where the particles have specific momenta components just to realize after that the frame doesn’t exist 😂 Let’s talk about physics sometime!

Best of luck with the phd! Glad you still made your way back to physics ;)

I can relate to that!

​@AndrewDotsonvideos I appreciate the reply! I've been binging your videos for about a week, and they've been so helpful. I began with your skit videos because they're hilarious, then I watched so many of your undergraduate and graduate physics major videos and a bunch of videos about your personal journey. They've helped me solidify my choice to be a physics major when I go to college next year. Thank you!

Thanks a lot, I definitely put more time into this one, I appreciate you noticing!

5% of 80 = 80% of 5 =4. Sometimes I forget math works that way lol.

A QFT series is gonna take a lot of care to do it right, so I don’t wanna rush it! But it’s still my goal👌🏻 I don’t personally think grad stat mech is necessary before QFT if you’ve at least seen it in undergrad. There are a couple cool relations to stay mech we covered when I took QFT, mostly in the path integrals formalism and getting familiar with Gamma functions. Maybe I’m missing some crucial reason to insist on taking stat mech first, but I can’t think of one at the moment. My last video (wow it’s been a while) talked about my visit at lanl a bit, and I’ll be visiting there again in the next few months👌🏻

​​@@AndrewDotsonvideos Fair! Take it slow man I agree, it does take a LOT of work now that I think about it. I see so grad stat mech isnt necessarily a soft prerequisite for QFT alright thanks! 👌

Yes I had a hard time in my intro classes as well. Just be sure to take advantage of office hours and asking questions when you have them.

❤️

They are hands down my favorite band 😂
