If you’re a physics nerd like me I think you should check out her channel.
She’s a theoretical physicist (and I think Doctorate holder) who does youtube videos on physics, famous scientists, and some other things. Personally my favorite videos of hers are her videos on anti-matter, dark matter, Richard Feynmann, and “relativistic mass.”
Personally this channel is a really great breathe of fresh air. It feels like a lot of physics channels kinda fall into one of four categories which are
1.Sensationalist stuff, talking about Sci fi or random thought experiments or stuff like that. Think Kyle Hill, Thomas Mulligan, and kurgezact [I can’t remember how to spell it. The stupid channel with the stupid birds and the stupid british narrator]
-
Conspiracy and “anti woke” channels like Sabine Hossfelder (yes, the same one Hakim made a video on) (no, I don’t understand how you can have “conspiracy physics” either)
-
Basic educational channels (these aren’t bad obviously, but they tend to just talk about high school or undergrad topics which might get dull after a while. Sensationalist channels also tend to to this sometimes)
4.Actual physics channels that are basically college courses. Not bad but absolutely crush you if you dont genuinely have a masters on physics
Collier does a really good job at presenting more novel information in a good way, while also not condesending to the viewer like a lot of other channels can do. She’s also very mature while also talking about sensitive issues like how women are treated in STEM. She basically treats it as “physics is cool because it’s physics,” which is nice. Sensationalist and pop physics channels tend to be more along the lines of “physics is cool because it can make atoms fuse to make nuclear anti matter blackheads which create infinite energy and FTL travel.” (I’m being hyperbolic, the point is that they don’t care about physics, they care about what physics can do. That’s not necessarily a bad thing on its own, but if you like physics for it’s own sake it can be a bit draining)
That’s about it. I know not everyone here is interested, but I’m guessing at least a few of us here are nerds like me so I wanted to reccomend her just in case anyone here would like her but hasn’t heard of her.
