I love this. I’ve been deep diving on layman general relativity and quantum mechanics for weeks now and I can’t get enough of this stuff. It’s mind blowing to me that our models of what black holes might look like seems to be getting proven over time. Absolutely crazy. As a kid I don’t think I would have guessed we’d figure so much out in my lifetime. I don’t know how it can’t fill anyone with so much wonder.
I’m also amazed by the people who do this research and modelling. I struggle to comprehend all of it, let alone actively expand our understanding of it
- ryandvm 3y agoI'm sure you've already found them but as a layman fascinated with this stuff, Fermilab (Don) and PBS Space Time are my two favorite YouTube channels on these subjects.
- mycall 3y agoThe latest video [0] really explains the perspectives of diving into a black hole quite well. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rogm_lpVZYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rogm_lpVZYU
- steve_adams_86 2y agoI haven’t! Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve mostly been listening to some of Neil Turok’s lectures lately and trying to get a more fundamental understanding, but my math and physics skills are really weak and I lose track constantly.
- rmvt 2y agoas someone who's been meaning to get some reading done on quantum mechanics, what materials have you been going through? every time i've seen recommendations on this topic, they always required somewhat advanced knowledge of physics and math.
