Andrew Dotson: “not everything physicists do is fundamental or interesting”
Also Andrew Dotson: “So I’m figuring what the inside of a proton is like”
Very quarky!
119th and you posted it 23 minutes ago! I can TESTIFY on how much you lose things. ~ Love Mom ❤️
Oh thanks mark!
@@AndrewDotsonvideos Well you do 😂😂
Hello Mrs Dotson
@@josephnorgrove5916 Hi Joe!
Hi Mrs. Dotson!
How tf did you leave the basement to film a vlog?!
I only leave when you're distracted with your cartoons (I think the kids call it anime)
@Andrew Dotson lol, best reply
Hello my master
How could you forget he is a quantum particle he was staying in your basement while filming a vlog outside
@@AndrewDotsonvideos no I think they call it hent...
hentology
As a fellow graduate student working during covid: damn, look at you putting on real clothes
Only way I can get work done haha
same haven't worn pants in like 3 weeks. My supervisor doesn't suspect a thing
@@AndrewDotsonvideos I'm wearing holes in my sweatpants, real clothes are a distant memory. I put on a hoodie, rather than a blanket, to signal "work time" to myself, though.
"My loud ass neighbors probably went to bed an hour ago so... I'm gonna go stomp around because I'm petty."
Damn Andrew!
Hell yeah!
@@griselgriselda2901 TRUUU
I randomly checked if daddy Dotson posted again, and I’ve not been disappointed.
imagine not having notifications on
Daddy?
@@nestorv7627 OF COURSE
This comment was sponsored by...
Or did he
I enjoyed hearding about your research and being taken through the process a bit. Maybe this could be a more regular thing?
Good to know! It’s difficult to know how much is too much to talk about
@@AndrewDotsonvideos this much is good...just keep it up..
@@AndrewDotsonvideos
PhD vlogs are awesome, especially when you are doing physics. You should so do them if you are willing to, Simon Clark has a great PhD vlog series and one from you would be the best.
Yes i love it too!!!
Hopefully things start cancelling is my motto on my physics life
The first thing I thought when I saw this video was that "theoretical physics student" could mean that you haven't been proven to exist hmmmmmm
Theories are never proven. I must always be falsifiable
Only thing we can say is that we have good evidence for his existence.
Hey Andrew, I just wanted to let you know that you helped push me back towards physics and I am now applying to PhD programs! Thank you for re-inspiring me.
Best of luck!
Thank you! I’m looking at like 12 universities, hoping to do quantum gravity or dark matter theory 😍
@@improlawl how did it go?
@@improlawl yh, did it work out?
Dotson the Phlogger is back.
Andrew you have single handedly cured my physics major depression, that is until the next day when I went to class
"Andrew improvement term news! That's what we are dying to hear about!"
Honestly, I was here just for the cat.
On a serious note,
Huge fan of the videos, man. Keep it up.
17:49 omg xD
My happy meal was delightful as usual, thanks Jens!
@@AndrewDotsonvideos You need a good diet. Dust 6 times per week, A happy meal once per week.
@@PapaFlammy69 also pee in cupped hands, don't forget that. You gotta stay hydrated amirite!
@@mastershooter64 Nah dawg, he lays down, mouth opened waiting for the waterfall
@Flammable Maths Make me a sandwich
4:05 *nods head throughout entire explanation as if I understand what Andrew is talking about*
The ''Hello there'' pictures in the background are legendary
HOWEVER
How did Papa flammy allow you to see Kelly?
As long as you leave a bowl of sauerkraut under his pillow, he’ll be in a good mood
Sounds about right
@@AndrewDotsonvideos 😂
I’m nowhere near the physics you’re doing, despite that, I like learning from these videos.
Trying to negotiate with papa flammy to get you out of his basement
I have no fkin idea how he got out wtf
@@PapaFlammy69 didn't we negotiate
I just started my masters in physics and I feel like I don’t know anything.
You learn a lot your first couple years, you’d be surprised how far you’ll come
Same bruh I too just started masters
I'm on my undergrad and boy does that worry me xD
Well, that's the whole point right? If you start a studying something and you already know everything, then you are wasting your time.
Yep that happens, im on my 3rd year undegrad and i feel the same, some phd guys have told me the same lol
Perfect portrayal of the slow descent into madness that is studying Physics
Tensor boi returns.
"I can finally throw myself off a building....... in Assassin's Creed." He had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Very helpful video, I'm shielding myself and so my first two months have been mainly just researching lots of DM. Its nice to see that life still goes on, stay safe !
He is back! Very much love the Phlogs
Very cool to see your research! I am hoping to be able to follow in your footsteps and do theory research in a couple years.
I really enjoy watching the vlogs of a grad student in nuclear physics, always wondered how smart people live day to day. I would love to see vlogs when you get your phD as well!
YAY! Vlogs are back! Love your videos.
Fantastic cideo Andrew! Make more vlogs, it helps a lot to know what to expect from a PhD in physics!
I enjoyed it very much :p
thanks for all your videos!
I cried at the YuGiOh Duel Disk part, so nostalgic
This is the first of your videos I've watched since starting my PhD program. It was really encouraging to watch your videos while applying and it is no encouraging to see what the next few years will look like (roughly). I know the first year is often busy but with classes, TA duties, and all the required courses for new students not to mention cobid I have only been into the lab twice this quarter 😔
It was such a great video, I could actually feel that you had fun making it :)) also you're so productive and sooooo funny keep it up !!
Thank you!
I was taking my chemistry exam and the notification for this video popped up and I was so tempted to just dip and watch this. Luckily I finished though. Keep the vlogs coming! A lot of us need motivation nowadays at home haha.
I'm a freshman physics major at UT and online labs are awful. Mostly bc the prof. wrote the manual in like 10 minutes and the TA doesn't even know what's going on.
Andrew, I love these phlog/general physics talk videos. I think you should make more of them (although I get it if you lack the time)
That was the smoothest sponsor segue ever.
Yooo finally. Was waiting for some amazing stuff like this!!!
Amazing video ! Idk why I always search if u posted a knew video but it was worth it.👍
:)
Thank you for the content Andrew! I've watched you since you were in your last year of undergrad, back when I was in high school, and now I'm almost halfway done with my Astrophysics degree. Keep killin it, future Dr. Dotson
Oh yeah I remember seeing your name back in the day! All the best with your degree
I remember seeing the types of physics students video when I was in high school and there was the undergrad students looking at grad students like they were celebrities... I understand it now
I really loved your Gradschool vlog series! I really would love to see the PhD version!
Really enjoy these vlogs. I know now may not be the best time to do this, but it would be cool to see some of the NMSU campus and whatever city you're in in future vlogs
That cat be vibin with the tensor knowledge
Im a med student, I know close to nothing about physics at this level, but im fascinated by all this. Love your videos man!
hey man your vlog gave me a little motivation, i'm a physics masters student and i plan to do my PhD in particle physics, but I've been feeling pretty demotivated for more than a week now pending some work and research ( and not trying to contact my supervisor xp) but listening to you talk about physics and stuff made me feel less lonely xp, and now I shall hopefully do some research tomorrow on this two higgs doublet model.
Great video it refreshing to see how your still pushing through in these Covid times✍️
ive been following you since 2017 and when i saw a phlog being uploaded after such a long time......YAAASS
I love these vlogs! Keep up the hard work!
Good to see you doing well sensei.
Loved it, always enjoy a video from you
I study forest engineering (forestry) but I absolutely love your videos. It makes me so excited to be a grad student and inspires me to keep on keeping on.
I love it, you always could make vídeos like that
11:30 Damn, I thought the first rule of fight meetings is not to talk about them?! 🙄
Deleting my vid now
Hey, I really enjoy your videos--nice combo of humor and substance! Just as a side point, I work in the medical field, and if you have cold symptoms (as you mentioned), it's probably a good idea to just get checked for COVID. You're young and will almost certainly be fine, but just protect others. Thanks, again, for all your content!
I'd really enjoy a video about theoretical nuclear physics, some basics like QCD (although its very complex). It would be very interesting hearing it from a grad student.
Greetings from germany :)
Daddy dotson back with the epic vids
been waiting for one of these!!!
Love your vids.BTW you inspired me to want to study physics like in coll and uni in the future.Thnx bro.
omgg i miss these vlogs so much please do more!
I was lucky enough to finish my TA and masters before the pandemic. Keep the great job, Andrew :)
It's was very interesting to see how theoretical physics research is done!
okay I didn’t understand anything about your research (you explained it really well but it’s been a long day my brain doesn’t except new information) but I enjoyed the video! My motivation came back after seeing your grad school life. I hope I’m gonna get there someday
very nice Andrew, thanks
I’ve been waiting for a Phlog so long.
This was really well done!
Loving the Overleaf in the background lmao
Loved the research talk. I'm not sure how many of your subs enjoyed it, and in terms of youtube growth, it may not be the biggest market to pour your videos into; nonetheless id love to see more shit like that.
Thanks for listening to my request
And by the way love you💚
Great video Andrew as always! When will there be a meme review again? Love them.
Having Andrew as the TA running my online labs might actually make them tolerable
LMAOOOO the ending killed me. Been a fan of the channel for a while now. I completed my undergrad last semester in physics and math and now I'm doing a masters in mathematics. Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome!
You gotta love that video ending!
Duuuuude, learning about your research is really interesting!
Really nicely done and those aesthetics👏👏... This channel has really grown through the years
10:28
I remember doing that same speed of sound lab in IB physics in high school and this makes me miss taking physics, definitely looking forward to taking physics when I start college next year
If you're taking a graduate course on GR, I strongly recommend David Tong's notes on the subject. I honestly believe they are way better than his QFT notes, and I feel genuinely privileged to have been in the lectures they are based on
I'll check em out, thanks!
Love the video!
Yes! I love these phlogs
Loved it!!!
I loved this :) seeing TA stuff is cool
keep these comin !!
As an engineering student, I like watching your videos because I know I will never get to such a level in physics studies no matter how much I love it. Keep it up!
Quality physics content and quality cat content. A buddy of mine is applying to NMSU for grad school, among other places.
I just submitted my report on my online speed of sound lab, only I'm 9000 km away from you haha
Happy to see a new video :)
I don't get it but I'm listening....
Now this is a quality channel
I'm considering doing a PhD next year and its time to start applying I'm excited but nervous whether its the right decision for me. After watching your video and how motivated and enjoyable you find it I really just wanna start doing some theoretical physics
We missed you dr Dotson
the editing is so dope, good job physics dad
thanks!
I like how you're still reading/liking everybody's comment's, when your channel nearly has 200k subs. Great Video!
:)
Just started my PhD (Quantum Engineering) in September from home. I was not able to join my lab directly due to travel restrictions (PhD in Canada, I live in France). But tbh this semester went super smoothly even with 6 hours time difference!
you are an inspiration to me bruh......respect
Hug from Portugal 🇵🇹
Love yours vlogs
That was the best vid please make more
dy/dx is a fraction
Cross section gang
Never have I watched such an entertaining vlog that lasts twenty minutes... And it has to do with physics... Idk how you did it but congratulations 😂.
Thanks a lot!
TA -> RA
"this is not even my final form"
11:26 most of the Nobel Physicists were used to be worst grad students
Ahem john nash
you are the reason I stay motivated to do my homework in high school
I have no idea what you're talking about but damn its interesting!
