"average person knows 3 astrophysics things" actualy just statistical error. average person knows 1 astrophysics thing. Astrophysics Georg, who lives in space and knows 10,000 astrophysics things, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
there was no women's march even remotely close to me, so i threw my own. end the gender gap in STEM! let young girls know they can be scientists!
me: majored in aerospace engineering to hopefully design rovers that go to other planets to perform little science experiments and find rocks
my classmates: i want to create missiles and advanced war weaponry for the military
me:
the new composite james webb image is so beautiful ive been staring at it for 10 minutes straight
featuring jupiters rings, europa (along with a bunch of other moons), the northern and southern auroras, and the great red spot
if you ever feel like you're not "smart enough" for STEM or didn't do that great in school, i just wanna let you know that i failed algebra 2 THREE TIMES and dropped my high school physics class the FIRST WEEK...
and NASA chose me to student research with them.
so what i'm trying to say is that STEM is for EVERYONE. if school wasn't the easiest for you and you're not the strongest in math, don't let that stop you from pursuing STEM. working hard for goals makes you a great scientist.
screw that stereotype that all STEM majors are geniuses who were building robots and knew how to work a microscope at 3 years old.
STEM IS FOR EVERYONE! BECOME A FREAKING SCIENTIST! YOU CAN DO IT!

To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

Welcome back,
What â one vast, ancient and mysterious universe isnât enough for you? Well, as it happens, there are others. Among physicists, itâs not controversial. Our universe is but one in an unimaginably massive ocean of universes called the multiverse.
If that concept isnât enough to get your head around, physics describes different kinds of multiverse. The easiest one to comprehend is called the cosmological multiverse. The idea here is that the universe expanded at a mind-boggling speed in the fraction of a second after the big bang. During this period of inflation, there were quantum fluctuations which caused separate bubble universes to pop into existence and themselves start inflating and blowing bubbles.
Russian physicist Andrei Linde came up with this concept, which suggests an infinity of universes no longer in any causal connection with one another â so free to develop in different ways.
Cosmic space is big â perhaps infinitely so. Travel far enough and some theories suggest youâd meet your cosmic twin â a copy of you living in a copy of our world, but in a different part of the multiverse. String theory, which is a notoriously theoretical explanation of reality, predicts a frankly meaninglessly large number of universes, maybe 10 to the 500 or more, all with slightly different physical parameters.
And then thereâs the quantum multiverse. Physicist Hugh Everett came up with this idea, which is predicted by his âmany worldsâ interpretation of quantum physics. Everettâs theory is that quantum effects cause the universe to constantly split. It could mean that decisions we make in this universe have implications for other versions of ourselves living in parallel worlds.
