FOR THE REST OF MY VLOGMAS VIDEOS, SEE: ru-vid.com/group/PL-sg7bn8-miotWq_99o32ioO1IhgYILdd (I'm keeping some of them unlisted to tidy up my channel 😊)
I think people might act shocked when you say you do Mathematical and/or Theoretical Physics because it sounds (and is) really bloody difficult. I'm a first-year Physics student, and when you meet new people and they ask you what you study, when you say Physics, they start to back away haha! Loved this video, can't wait for more to come :)
this is a very fair point!! I suppose it just gets to me that even if it is just because people view it as being a difficult degree, why is it so shocking that I do it? I just kind of accepted it for the first couple of years of my undergrad, but recently it's started to really grate on me (I think it's because the reaction is worse when I say I'm at oxford) to the point where I kind of avoid saying what degree I'm doing 🤷♀️ anyway, hope you don't find the reaction as annoying as me haha! and hope your first term went really well and you're enjoying the christmas holidays 😁😁 x
Hi Alice, Daughter finds your videos really useful. Shes yr 13 and got an unconditional at Lancaster (p.phys and cosmology) and shes just done her interview at Oxford last week. So to see a contrast of the 2 unis and the fact you have been to both have been very helpful :)
I've also just bought a hybrid for cycling to work and found that actually I quite like it and I might look for a road bike - where did you find the bike that was on sale?
No one: Me: those are some really good quality wrapping paper Haha i think it would be a good idea for you to make a separate public insta for alicedoesphysics and make your personal one private x
I made a video about the textbooks I used in my undergrad here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--HkHuR_0kDM.html 😊 this year, I'm using very specialised textbooks that basically only cover one topic, so not much help in general to recommend - sorry x
Shucks... I completely forgot to send my question. I'll still ask it in case you see. If you could have any physicist (dead or alive) over for a Christmas lunch, who would it be? 😂
I don't know if she counts as a physicist (maybe an engineer??) but definitely would have loved to have met hedy lamarr!! think she's so so cool 😁😁 what about you??
@@alicedoesphysics In terms of a fun conversation, I'd say Feynman. But if I did want to have a more academic discussion over Christmas lunch, I'd say either Roger Penrose or Emmy Noether. Their ideas are so cool and underrated (at least in my opinion😅).
