- Carl Sagan: The Demon-Haunted World (1995) (Along with the original Cosmos series, this changed my life. Still as relevant as ever.) Some other classics that come to mind: - Sextus Empiricus: Outlines of Pyrrhonism (ca. ~200 CE; essentially the only known text to survive of the earliest skeptical tradition) - Charles Mackay: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1841) - Martin Gardner: Fads & Fallacies in the Name of Science (1952) - Richard Feynman: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman (1985) - Michael Shermer: Why People Believe Weird Things (1997) - Keith E. Stanovich: How to Think Straight About Psychology (latest 11th edition 2018) (book introducing critical thinking skills while also introducing psychology; the writer is one of the pair who coined the terms system 1 / system 2)

Funny how they’re both in the same posture with the right leg over the left and hands cupped around the knees, does that help you think like a physicist? 🤔

Hello Tibees im from Morocco (north africa) and i do really appreciate your channel and your works... also the video that i liked the most in your channel (i've not seen all of them) is titled "Universe in an Atom" it really inspired me to rethink about how mysterious that is our "universe" and our "reality" is ...

Tibees Okey tibees. Have a nice day.

I’m so happy I just recently found your channel. I absolutely love physics and I want to major it when I go to university in a couple years and there truly are no other channels like your’s that give a genuine and pure depiction of studying physics and on top of that, you just make me feel relaxed about it and like I can do it in a way.. and I’m saying that because I often doubt myself and feel stressed or insecure but your videos are oddly calming and encouraging and I really appreciate them ❤️

Thank you for this video. Petr has a great and personable way of explaining things and had some great insights. I’ve learned a lot about the broad concepts of estimation.

Traits of a physicists: Sit with your leg crossed because einstein did it that guy in that video did it, that girl in that video did it and carl sagan did it too and so should you if you want to be a physicist. Well unless you're neil degrasse tyson or me (3 minute limit) and long exposure of crossed leg sitting hurts you.

Thanks for book recommendations

A message to my fellow old guys and girls. I believe our future is in good hands with people like this.

You are cutely intelligent! I like your humble nature and soothing voice.

Really interesting. British physicist G.I Taylor correctly estimated the trinity atomic explosion by using the photographic stills with length scales and dimensional analysis. His specialty was waves and fluid dynamics. Both really difficult fields and no doubt contributed to his crafty analysis. The energies released were top secret at the time. This is the type of creative (like artists) and mathematical +physical intuitive thinking that excellent physicists possess. Physics and other hard scientific fields are highly dynamic with which you use the fundamentals to extrapolate and understand the complex phenomena of nature, creating new models along the way. But perhaps even the fundamentals change with different time scales. Energy is constant except the fact that the universe and its energies came into existence at the big bang epoch! (failure of the conservation law). Nothing is set in stone. And we should approach everything as such. Repeatedly reflect on why it is so, and make sure it is understood.

Being a great physicist does require creativity

Duke from Venezuela? Reminds me of an engineering professor telling us we could waste our time memorizing dimensionless numbers, or we could focus on the problem at hand and look up which one we needed when we were putting pencil to paper. When the obligatory question regarding an upcoming exam over dimensionless numbers was raised, he rolled his eyes, but came back with, "Obviously, Mr. [smartass student who was bolder than I], your problem at hand IS memorizing them, so I suggest you start looking them up before Friday."

Hi, Toby! Have you got any insights to share about Chemistry majors who found out their "Physicist side" and happened to change to Physics after graduation? The most famous example I know is Robert Oppenheimer, but we don't see it very frequently these days. I will earn my degree in Chemistry in June, and I've had some sort of experience with the theoretical branch of Physical Chemistry through Statistical Thermodynamics (my undergraduate thesis will be on that). However, it is tough to be confident and push on in such field in Brazil as the majority of chemists is more interested in the experimental areas. A few of them claim to be theorists, but they only know how to run some fancy computational chemistry softwares. Theoretical Chemistry rooted in Math is a pretty rare thing in Brazil. Therefore, I humbly ask you some kind of advice on that to encourage me and others who might be in the same dilemma. Thank you for all the information you post here!

People certainly cross over to physics from chemistry and vice versa. You might have to talk to physicists and see how you can help their research with your chemistry skills. I have one friend doing a PhD on NMR of proteins in a chemistry department but using a lot of math and physics knowledge.

Damn what a nice campus :O

can you please tell me how and what we should do to be an astrophysicists

Can anyone suggest me a good calculus book and book for computer learning , I am basically doing my bachelor's in electrical, currently in 1st yr , but wanna learn calculus and computer system on my own.

This is a valid facet to account for when scrutinizing data. Many studies are funded by organizations who seek to incorporate bias into the data to bolster their sales and public image. One of the very first things you should consider when analyzing data is by whom it is funded.
