The most likely place in the Solar System that we think we'll find life beyond Earth is on some of Saturn's Moons: Enceladus and Titan. To learn more about habitable worlds head to: brilliant.org/drbecky

👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford. I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at what processes can feed growing black holes and whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

@professortachyon780 3 жыл бұрын

I'd say it is possible, but it's going to be very difficult as you need not only to understand physics but have at least a decent understanding of the maths behind it. I'd say it would take about 2-3 years to go from very simple newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics if you're starting from square one. Also you'll always want people with whom you can discuss the things you're learning, often the after class talks with your classemates might give you the best insight. So yeah it is possible but in my opinion it's very hard, it's easier if you learn the basics via a formal eduacation and once you have a firm understanding of physics you can research topics on your own.

@jamieg2427 3 жыл бұрын

yes, it's absolutely doable and you may learn better than most students. as a math and physics student, the vast majority of what i learn is not from teachers at all but instead from reading textbooks and doing lots of problems through self study. in school, students mostly get second hand and abbreviated information from the professor (textbooks generally have much more detail), do their assigned problems, and read only as much as they need to. if you're carefully reading the book and doing a lot of problems, you can develop a much stronger grasp of the material. read the textbooks, do the problems, ask for help on the physics and math subreddits or on stack exchange. look at the sidebars for these subreddits, aka the About sections, for related subreddits and other resources. there are textbook recommendations if you need them as well. before getting a particular textbook (many can be gotten for free on libgen.is), try to also find solutions manuals. chegg.com is very helpful for this. when you read a part of a textbook that shows to do a problem or derives concepts, read one like at a time while covering the rest of the page, and try to write out what you think will be happening. use solutions manuals this same way after trying the problem yourself a few times. keep a list of interesting problems as flash cards or in a spreadsheet. just keep the book name, chapter number, problem number, and maybe page. shuffle and do a few random problems to review to maintain knowledge. feel free to ask more questions. good luck

@jamieg2427 3 жыл бұрын

i also disagree with the other comment. the basics of these subjects are straightforward and accessible compared to higher level material. quantum mechanics starts getting hairy, but again there's plenty of material out there and entire forums of people who can help online. generally, teachers only have time to give a cursory explanation of material, and students often don't do enough work ahead of class to really ask juicy questions (people rarely and questions at all). formal education for the basics is categorically less rigorous than someone thoroughly going through a textbook and doing all the derivations themselves.

@professortachyon780 3 жыл бұрын

@@jamieg2427 I understand your point because for the most part most students (including myself) end up pretty much teaching themselves the entire course like you have stated the lecture time is limited and I've contemplated plenty of times that If I were to go back in time and re-study everything in my physics and maths bachelor's I'd probbably be able to do it even faster now that I know what to look up. However starting off, all the subjects seem overwhelming and reading up a textbook will be challenging for any beginner, also knowing from which textbook to read as there are textbooks for introductory courses and those for more advance clases in this sense a class gives you a structure, more often they'll give you a recommended amount of textbooks, problem sheets and form there you can pretty much everything else on your own. Besides I specially feel when it comes down to proving things in maths it takes some time for people to develop that skill and often you need other people to help you with that. And so while I completely agree with you in theory, in practice it just doesn't work all that simply.

@jamieg2427 3 жыл бұрын

@@professortachyon780 true, though reddit has great textbook recommendations that give some guidance, plus if one asks questions as they get frustrated or run into issues, they can get input from others online that will help. when i take classes, although i do the problems asked for by the teacher, i read the book and do most of the textbook problems---as many as i can before the relevant class is taught on that material. so it's also as if i don't have guidance at first. i always come to class feeling like what the professor teaches is only scratching the surface of what i just taught myself. in my opinion, the approach i described above is the true concept a person should learn when they learn math or physics: how to study material for themselves. the actual subjects are besides the point. it's much more rewarding, creates a sense of exploration, and the student feels less lost. i'll explain why. when i was tutoring before the pandemic, i'd often ask students why they use a particular equation to solve a problem. their reply was always, "it's from my notes." and i asked them where it comes from and they couldn't explain or build the equation from simpler concepts. they're just using tools blindly without understanding what or why they're doing it. it's a fragile approach that breaks when you encounter difficult problems and it comes from depending too much on formal education rather than informal self-study.

Becky: in the US, they pronounce "geezer" as "guy-zer". A "geezer" is an old man. But I'm sure ensuing comments will inform you of this in maybe a not so polite manner.

I find it fascinating the culture that developed the English language has the hardest time actually speaking it... LOL I guess I'd just be happy if they stop adding a second i in the word aluminum and learn to pronounce that one simple word. Same with methane, its not meethane. Grammar Nazi's unite! LOL (but yes it really matters, if you wanna be taken seriously and not seen as a dullard or lazy)

You are a brilliant science communicator. I love how expressive your face is and your smart casual is always on point. I know its superficial; but it gives every talk you do a better chance for the science to engage us... I also tried your shampoo brand but it turns out its too humid in Queensland for shampoo with Marrakesh oil.

This excellent as always discussion concerning life in our outer solar system does make me wonder about a redefinition of the term "habitable zone" around M class stars. What with the universe being as young as it is wrt to the time it will take for these very much more abundant flare stars to settle down (recent readings concerning alpha centauri proxima do make me shudder to wonder what it is like on the planet proxima B) - maybe proxima D might be a better place to hang around in. To be fair though, just because we are hanging around an incredibly short-lived star, maybe we just don't know how it is around the M-class stars. We don't live around one of those, so it's easy to point fingers at the ones that we find bafflingly tricky for life to exist in the so-called habitable zone. Food for thought.
