Lily Asquith lily, thank you so much for your kind words. Sometimes I worry that I am wasting my time. By the way, what level are you teaching? I will get to more modern physics but it is slow, sorry.

Kathy Loves Physics & History Dear Kathy, How can we send you a video demonstrating Cherenkov drive ?

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics No way! Your videos are the best science videos are on youtube. Rigorous... Clear... Thank you so much for dedicating your time to us!!

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics Wasting your time, are you kidding me?!!! I am an Electrical Engineering professor and I have been binge-watching all your videos...especially those on Maxwell, Faraday and Hertz. The back stories behind the discoveries are very fascinating. Many thanks for these videos......and please keep up the good work

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics oh my, don’t ever feel like you’re wasting your time. Not only am I burning through your essays, I frequently go back to them as a valuable resource while monkeying around w electronics.

My kids also sing the song (badly). Thank you again for joining Patreon, and for being so supportive, it is such a trip to have people like my work who aren't required to or they sleep on the couch.

What a great video! No doubt your enthusiasm makes the difference, together with the quality of your research and content. Congratulations and thanks a lot!

Thank you so much

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics No, thank you!

Thanks as usual Mr. Jack

So glad you like my videos and thank you for watching so many! Cheers, Kathy

Tay Leigh thank you soo much for the lovely compliment. I hope you joined the email list. Cheers, Kathy.

Kathy Loves Physics Thank you so much for your reply, what an honor! So happy to have found your channel, and I am signing up as we speak 🥰. Happiness and joy to you and yours through the holidays (or just because)!💚 From Atlanta

My friend just asked me who was smarter Marie or Pierre and I just didn't know what to say. They were both so brilliant.

and Mania not Manya

In 1968 during freshman orientation, a teacher told the students that many of the women came to collage to get there MRS. But they instead got a PHT (Put Hubby Thought).

Aww thanks- I keep wanting to say this more videos that are shorter and faster and I keep on going the other direction and producing videos longer and more complicated because… I am in a unique position to do whatever the hell I want and that’s what I want

Thanks, I really liked learning about her, I was worried that she would be dry and dull but I think she was fascinating.

Fascinating......I have relatives from Sweden, Germany and the U.K.

I couldn’t read more than 10 pages of that book, it was very well written but so upsetting and disturbing that I couldn’t get through it. I can’t imagine how it must’ve felt to have written it.

Thank you

That would have been perfect!

You are quite welcome

Julian, thank you so much for believing in me and promoting me. Make sure you get on the mailing list, OK? I want to make sure you get the Rutherford video early.

It would have been a triumph indeed to detect radioactivity in _thallium,_ the longest-lived naturally occurring radioisotope of which (we now know) has a half-life of 4¾ minutes. Mme Curie was pipped at the post by Gerhard Schmidt for the discovery of the radioactivity of _thorium_ in 1898.

Right? I think about it all the time. How many women, how many disabled people, how many people born to the “wrong” class or the “wrong” country to be listened to who could’ve created such important discoveries that we will never know. It’s such a waste.

Glad you liked it

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics thank you madam

Perhaps

According to my sources, the University was not closed down at the time but did reject her for a position because she was a woman. For example: www.mariecurie.org.uk/blog/marie-and-pierre-curie-a-marriage-of-true-minds/48568

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics Very well, yet still not in her country, because there wasn't her country there at all on the map of Europe. And speaking about Jagiellonian University of Cracow mentioned on that page cited by you, a year later (or the same year even - 1895) first three women started studies due to decision of Polish authorities of that university - Kraków was in the part occupied by Austro-Hungarian Empire so the general conditions were actually different, which included also some degree of autonomy on education. Very soon the actions held by women organizations' representatives in the AH parliament and the decision of University to allow more women for their studies caused a change in the policy of the AH government, so that gradually women were allowed to study on all departments/divisions of the University officially, e.g. in 1897 there were already 100 women starting their studies. There are many more details to that fascinating story on e.g. forumakademickie.pl/fa-archiwum/archiwum/99/7-8/artykuly/kobiety_na_uj.htm (although this us in Polish only, but I may try to find also sources in English). There were of course struggles, nobody says that the way of emancipation was easy. E.g the Warsaw University (in Marie's hometown) was reinstated only in 1915, where German forces took over the part of Poland formerly occupied by Russian Empire. German forces not only allowed to reopen university but also the authorities of the University were Polish and also only then women were allowed to study there. Anyway I hope that with those extra details the actual context may be now more clear. An why is this so important? Because, if I may relate to a place so crucial to the development of physics as Cambridge University (in the UK) - well over there women had rather different experience with either the University authorities or their future colleagues, e.g a quick glance at the Google results brings this: www.britain-magazine.com/features/history-of-women-at-cambridge-university/ - I mean in the very same 1897 "Meanwhile in Cambridge, campaigners for women’s degrees faced violent opposition during the vote on the subject in 1897, often being pelted with eggs or risking being hit by rogue fireworks."

@@Kathy_Loves_Physics Dear Kathy. We Polish NEVER called Rusia OUR country. This is insult for Polish People, someone name Rusia THEIR country. Our country was NOT on the maps, but it was in our hearts, and it was always POLAND. Anyway, Your pronaunsuation of Maria Skłodowska's name is flawless.

So glad you liked it. I was surprised how much I would like Marie too as I thought she would be dull. So happy to be wrong.

Watch my video on the Bohr model.

Oops. Sorry about that

I believe that was the fashion at the time.

Less so than many believe in modern times, at least according to some historical fashion experts on KZfaq, for what its worth. However, she may have sinched it up extra tight for the photograph, as it was the fashion, just not a regular every day practice.

Me too.

i dk about elsewhere, but it is thesis for masters in USA and dissertation for doctorate. i know, i did them.
