    Amazing ! I wish I could work just as you do Maria. I wish to join you soon !! But just out of curiosity, with which equations can you numerically predict the appareance of a blackhole ? Is it the Einstein's tensorial equation of general relativity ? Or am I forgetting something ? And with which numerical methods do you resolve these equations ? Because I believe it would have to be very accurate, wouldn't it ? I am so curious about how researches are conducted in this field, really.

    It's a nice video that has left me wondering about quite a few things. The mention of models made me wonder about what the current 2023 state of the art is regarding Modeling software for learning and doing physics. I would be very interested in finding out more about the numerical relativity computational software and hardware being used and if it is the Einstein Toolkit or something else. I've seen a KZreadr using Universe Sandbox to play with blackholes so I'm curious about how easy to use the numerical relativity simulation GUI is. Since I've been following Geometric Algebra and Geometric Calculus by David Hestenes since the mid 1980's, I'm also curious to know if Ms. Okounkova is working with Spacetime Calculus and the Gauge Theory Gravity of Doran, Lasenby and Gull at the University of Cambridge. Do the software tools being used make it easy to change to the Geometric Algebra/Calculus Spacetime notation developed by David Hestenes and others?

    @@non-inertialobserver946 In 2023, if the person is interested in theoretical physics, Modeling Instruction is more like a flight simulator for physicists than reading the Feynman Lectures and watching and listening to the recorded lectures. Dr. Feynman was a great teacher but let's remember how long ago that was and what new pedagogical tools have been developed in the many decades since Sputnik was orbited and people were worried about STEM instruction. It's long past time to upgrade. Now, in 2023, a student should be looking for a Mentored Experiential Professional Prep Academy and KidZania-CERN Beamline for Schools job experiences. Brilliant™activities, SOLE BIG QUESTIONS and Maker physics projects should be preferred over Khan Academy exercise software and tutorial videos. A KZread "Olympia Academy" community would be nice but videos are a passive medium compared to learning by doing (as Dr. Feynman himself said about studying for exams etc). Dr. Feynman also encouraged people to teach as an excellent way to improve their own understanding. Web of Stories has some good video clips of physicists and mathematicians talking about their work but the videos are not indexed well enough to pull up the best video clip that a person needs just-in-time like a Socratic Arts ExTRA™ knowledge management system does. I have yet to see such a system for professional physicists and physics students. The Virtual International Science and Technology Academy is for Health Sciences students and did not have a physics related project but something similar could be created for physicists or workers in a related field using the Socratic Arts Goal-based Scenario Tool™. The Break Through videos are not connected to anything like an ASK system to be found by anyone interested in being a physics fellowship graduate student. "Read the Feynman Lectures on Physics" is standard advice and one can even listen to the lectures now (www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/), but it was way back in 1921, that H.G. Wells wrote in "Salvaging Civilization" about live lecturing vs. mass produced books. So far, I have also not seen an online Physics course from a member of the American Modeling Teachers Association but there may be one out there on OutSchool or somewhere else. There are KZread videos about Modeling Instruction in Physics.
